XJUN Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I have three slide shows that I want to play them together. but I don't know how to make it work in PTE 5. I went to slide option/ Advanced tab/ and check the box for "run appliaction after last slide. and then use browse window to pick the slide show I want to run next (exe file). I check the ? box, but I don't understand it. Also I tried in customize the last slide by selecting "run external appliaction", but that didn't work either. Could anyone give me some help. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Do you mean you want to play them in sequence, one after the other? Or do you want a menu so you can choose which one to play? Do you want them to play on your computer, or are you trying to run them on a DVD. The executable files must be located on your drive where the program can find them. It's easier if you put them all in a single folder. LinI have three slide shows that I want to play them together. but I don't know how to make it work in PTE 5.

I do have both file saved in same folder, and try to play them on computer first. Later on I'd like to run them on VCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browse through it to find the show you want to run.I did exact way shown in your message. but it didn't work. Since the second slide show has 140 MB. I wondering if the file size cause the problem.

alrobin Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 If you double-click on the filename of the second show in Windows Explorer, will it run OK? Make sure it's has the ".exe" extension.Also, try renaming it and try it with no spaces in the file name (use "underscores" or "dashes" instead). Also, as Lin pointed out, if the second show is not already in the same folder as the first, try moving or copying it to the same folder. Make sure the correct address is reflected in "Run application ...." in Proj Ops for the first show. Are you trying to play these shows from a CD? If so, make sure the address for the second show is the correct one for the location onl the CD.Try opening a different second show to see if maybe the fault lies somewhere within the second show.
