161060 2003-07-19 05:40:00 i wanna make a slide show, that means any computer can access it from cd, or email...without having to download anything to run it..or install anything to run it...and be able to access it on win98 and winxp

is there any programs i can use to do this or anything within officexp that i can use to do this...

i wanna use music, background images, and photos on the background images, and text...but background images arent really needed if it cant be done...

161061 2003-07-19 06:05:00 I doubt it very much. With all the tings you expect, you will need to possibly buy a software package Southern_Man (3944)
161062 2003-07-19 08:05:00 oh ok, what software could possibly do this, as i mite have someone who can lend me one..just dont wanna go asking around when i dont know what i am after...
unless there is actually something downloadable..

161064 2003-07-19 08:28:00 I was reading just this week about a program by Microsoft to run in Windows XP that does something similar to what you have described. Unfortunately I do not remember where I read about it. Maybe you could try looking around Microsoft's website for it? tommy (2826)

161066 2003-07-19 08:36:00 I think the Slideshow Generator and CD Slide Show Generator in the new Windows XP PowerToys was the one but it does not appear to allow music and text. Have a look at this page (www.winsupersite.com) for more information. tommy (2826)

Hello csinclair83

You can make your sideshow with Microsoft PowerPoint it is very easy to use & you get good results!

The only thing is that you need Microsoft PowerPoint on the computer that it will be play on (I think), They might be an away you can do it, but I am not 100% sure.

Sorry I could be much help

161068 2003-07-19 09:08:00 Had a search around and found something that sounds encouraging here (www.webattack.com) called AlbumDIY.
It can be compiled as an exe file, which makes it self-supporting.

161069 2003-07-19 09:10:00 Powerpoint will do the job and you won't need powerpoint on the computer that runs the slideshow.

You create the slideshow using powerpoint and when saving you ask to "Pack and go"

Save the whole lot to a CD with an Autorun.inf
