PTE Stalling

Recommended Posts

Has any one experienced an image frozen on screen during a PTE sequence?

I was using PTE version 5 Beta 5 when it got a slide 52 the image stayed on screen even though the music kept playing I have also experienced similar problems when playing Demo versions of PTE 5 where my screen shows diagonal lines? :huh:

No problem when I use PTE 4.8

Thank you.

sounds like you do not have enough graphics board ram

please supply make and model of graphics board

and

make sure you have the latest version of MS DIRECTX

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

MY LATEST VER IS 9.0C

start/run

and type

dxdiag

and the directx version is on first screen

can you run Igor's demos ok

Example of slide-show created in PictresToExe v5.00

1) "PteShow" - http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow.zip (12 MB) EXE file

Source files of this project: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow_sources.zip (12 MB)

Powerful slide-show with high quality 2400x1500 images. Intended for modern video cards.

2) "Flowers" - http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/Flowers.zip (1.5 MB) EXE file and source files.

1024x768 images. Works fine almost on any video card.

3) "NoResizing" - http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/NoResizing.zip (1.5 MB) EXE file and source files.

This example shows how to display images as is without resizing on any screen display. Exactly pixel in pixel. But personally I don't like this option. It better to use scalable images, as in settings by default.

I have a Viewsonic VP19b on Radeon 9800 pro card with a memory of 256

I also have Direct X ver 9. I am using a Windows XP Pro with 1 gig of ram.

This stalling only happens when I use PTE version 5.5 I do not have a problem with version 4.8?

So I will continue to use 4.8 until PTE is out of Beta.

Thank you for your help Royo

You "may" have some bad RAM on your Video card. If you download my puzzle tests and run them and can't run the second one, it's almost certain that the issue is RAM. You have plenty of RAM and an excellent video card (The 9800 Pro is an outstanding card) and it "should" run any P2E show without difficulty, but if there is a defective RAM chip it may be causing this problem.

Here's a link. Download both these and run them. The smallRAM program will run even on a 32 meg video card but the large RAM model taxes even my 9800 Pro card as well as Igor's card. It should run fairly smoothly, but if you have bad RAM between zero and 128 meg it will show up. The second link below is to the large RAM model. The center piece in the front which circles around and around will be slightly "jerky" on a decent working video card. The sound will begin several seconds before the image on this one.
