EZCD Roxio Slideshow Dilemma

Hi All,

I am trying to incorporate a PhotoRelay slide show into a Power Point Presentation. I burn the cd and when I run the program all is well until I reach the slide that runs the "Slideshow.EXE" program. I get an error stating that it can't find D:\slideshow.exe.

I think that I have a source directory assignment problem. How would I get the files onto the cd for the slideshow without showing the subdirectory they came from???

Would appreciate any help....jongru...

 

I did this a couple yrs ago but with a zipdrive, but I think the principle is the same. I had to move all photos to the zip first, then create the slide show referencing the pics from the zip. I just created a new folder, moved all the pics I wanted into it, then moved the folder to the zip..

 

Hi Allekat,

Wonder if you could walk me a step at a time with this. I am still learning and need to see an example. Sure would appreciate it....Thanks, jongru...

 

Were you trying to run this on a different computer, that doesn't have Photorelay slideshow installed? If so, it will not work. Also, you must have powerpoint installed on the computer you plan on running this. Powerpoint also has it's own slideshow presentation built in.

 

I think I am understanding what the problem is. My photorelay slideshow works just fine on any computer that has autorun capablity. Integrating to run through the Powerpoint program is the problem.

I have been researching on the internet about the problem and everyone is saying that all Powerpoint commands will automatically use absolute locations. Since they are not an embedded item to "run" an external program, I will need something akin to your zip concept stated above. I will keep trying and I am sure I can find the answer, if so, I will report back...thank you...jongru
