giljones Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 I have just completed making a show for a friend on Windows XP. Have now played it on his laptop which has Windows Vista Home premium and the show stops at approximately 1 min for the end. I know other people have had this problem. Is there a cure for it.? Quote
Igor Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 What version of PicturesToExe you have used to make this slideshow?If v5.0 or newer, please use Windows Update to update drivers of video card and sound card.Please try this official demo from our website:http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/Late_Summer_at_the_Garden.zipHow it will play on your laptop?

mightec Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 IgorI have just bought a new desktop with Vista Home Premium and I cannot run your demo, it will not start, it starts eventually, but only by me contiually pressing the mouse. After a few seconds it is then all OK. Quote
JRR Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 What version of PicturesToExe you have used to make this slideshow?If v5.0 or newer, please use Windows Update to update drivers of video card and sound card.Igor:Are you hinting here that we should be recreating our old PTE shows in the latest version of windows ?If not we risk losing our shows ?I realize that going forward we risk losing the possibility of accessing many old files as computers change - data CDs might not be readable, (remember floppes ? ) file types no longer readable, etc etc, but I was hoping .exe file would be readable for a good period of timeThanks Quote
Igor Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Mike,PteShow demo was initially created in v5.0. Please try updated version I've re-created in v5.6:http://www.wnsoft.com/test/PteShow_v560.zip (8 MB)But it is really strange issue, because there should be no problem with Vista.Jim,Usually all old slideshows should work. But the most often problem that sometimes happens on some PCs - incorrect work of drivers of video card. Simple updating these drivers cure the problem. Quote
fh1805 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Both sequences ran OK on my 18-month old Vista Home Premium system.regards,Peter Quote
mightec Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 IgorThanks, the second show works perfectly, but I think they are different shows, not sure if this makes any difference or not! Quote
