Roy Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 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? No problem when I use PTE 4.8Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Royosounds like you do not have enough graphics board ramplease supply make and model of graphics boardand make sure you have the latest version of MS DIRECTXhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspxMY LATEST VER IS 9.0Cstart/runand type dxdiagand the directx version is on first screencan you run Igor's demos okExample of slide-show created in PictresToExe v5.001) "PteShow" - http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow.zip (12 MB) EXE fileSource files of this project: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow_sources.zip (12 MB)Powerful slide-show with high quality 2400x1500 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.ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.http://www.lin-evans.net/p2e/puzzlesmallRAM.ziphttp://www.lin-evans.net/p2e/puzzle.zipBest regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPD Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I had twice this problem, but I can't have it when I want, so difficult to say anything about it. I have also a radeon, but a 7500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
