hjasper Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hello I'm new with this nice progra. Is it possible to start the presentation linked from a web site like with streaming media?Normally when you load an exe file in a browser it will be stopped by any virus scanner.I have noticed that emails sent with an exe file will be kicked out by most email scanners even when the files are zipped. Is there a way to ad it a mail or sent it without being refused by mail clients or virus scanners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 misterwollie welcome to the forummost isp's limit how big a file you can send / receive + there is the isp mailbox size - mine is limited to 10 mbI always zip an exe if i am going to send it by email -- but they are sometimes stopped by the person you are sending to mail systemI will leave the streaming issue to somebody else - but think you have to have flash or riva flv playerseehttp://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&c2coff=1...nG=Search&meta=http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=owne...age=1&lv=0&so=0these are flv filesken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a file such as "myslideshow.exe" could be renamed to "myslideshow" (with no extension). Then when zipped the email scanner which looks for the .exe extension ignores it. Send instructions for the recipient to simply rename the file adding the .exe extension before trying to run it.Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try the flash program and see what I can do with it.Thanks all, for the information.Hj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
