Making slideshows to burn to CD's

Using the version 1.7.6[http://www.lpj-software.com/] and creating a slide show with 145 .jpg photos and 5 .mp3 songs, the .ini file is set to play random=false, play once=true. Works fine when created in Window Explorer -- the slide show ends and the music ends at the same time and the timing is perfect, but when the files are burned to a CD the timing is different on every computer it is played on and none are the same as when the program is run in Windows Explorer. I have used Nero and BurnQuick burning programs with the same results on each[burning as data]. Is this just inherent to burning slide shows or am I doing something wrong? I am trying to get it so the slide show does not end in the middle of a song but does not start over again.
Some cumputers use XP and some 98SE. I even tried to join all the mp3 files into one file but the results was the same[on one burn the songs in the single file did not play in the order they were created]. http://www.download3000.com/download_7476.html
I try to burn CD's for family with pictures of get togethers and reunions.
Any ideas?

Slide Shows to CD or DVD

Slipshot,

I used to use LPJ also but whe sending to friends --- because it was an .exe , most weren't sure weather to open it or not and if it was going to a
business or network, no one dared to open it !!

I got and have been using ProShow Gold by PhotoDex. I love it and it is worth the money. It has a slight learning curve, but the results are great.

The hardest part is finding music to go with the show-s. If you don't want music, you can also narrate it !

I'm running WinXP media edition , 2gig ram .

You can check it out here.......

Sam,
Thanks for the come back. I am not against buying something and will look at the link. I had a program from Magix, it would of been OK but limited the number of photos to 99. I have alot of the ones I have done and have 145 to 160 photos in them and 6 to 8 mp3's as background. I don't know what is changing my timing on the LPJ slideshow I burn.
