Cheapest way is to find some freeware Javascript slideshow code that
displays your pics while keeping the web page url constant (i.e., doesn't switch to p1.htm, p2.htm, p3.htm) and play a wav file. You'll be able to see your pics while listening to music.

Do you mean as one who logs onto a computer as other than the "adminitrator" of that particular machine? -Splain... The "limited user" is the other choice you typically have when you create users in XP (does not have admin rights). For what it's worth, I have included a copy of my exchange with Photodex support below that should give some more detail in what I am talking about ... [begin copy of Photodex support conversation] Mike, I believe that the FAQ page was written some time ago, before this issue came to light. I have requested that the FAQ page be updated to acknowledge this issue. Regards, Chris Photodex Corporation www.photodex.com Thanks for the reply, however, if that is the case, then why does the FAQ say the following: [begin quote] For Windows XP and 2000 users, you may install as a non-admin or as an admin. If you choose to install as a non-admin, the software may not be able to install the drivers necessary to author discs using your CD or DVD drive (you will still be able to create a disc image for burning in another application). All other features of the software should work normally, regardless of who installed the software. You may overcome the CD / DVD issue at any time by having a system administrator re-install the software. [end quote] I understand the problem with the burner/driver issue, but this is a case of it could not do ANYTHING (and indicated it was CompuPic in the title bar) when a limited user tried to run it,but an admin was able to run it fine. According to the FAQ, "all other features of the software should work normally" (yes, I actually try to research the problem before contacting support ;-) ) Mike Fields ----- Original Message ----- From: "Photodex Corporation - Chris" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:01 PM Subject: ProShow Gold Support Request Mike, ProShow will not work correctly under a standard user account. Ideally it should be run as an administrative user. Using the built-in "power users" profile should also work. Regards, Chris Photodex Corporation www.photodex.com Installed using defaults by me (with admin priv.). Entered registration info which is accepted and seems to work fine. Limited user tries to use psg and it requests registration indicating it is the "trial version" although it shows me in the title bar. Title bar also shows "CompuPic - Michael Fields" (no, it is not CompuPic) but after entering registration key (it already has name and phone number) it says the registration accepted and then indicates in the title bar "ProshowGold - Michael Fields". If limited user tries to create a slide show, as soon as they drag a picture to the timeline, psg crashes. Same results on two different machines, both running XP Pro, SP 2. Admins can run without problem, limited users crash it (and it shows the CompuPic - Michael Fields in the title bar when they start). Snooping the FAQ and a google search did not find much, but it does this on two different machines. It has the feel of a protection issue, but why me and not others ? ? ! I have tried un-installing then re-installing making sure the AV was turned off before the install. Why does it indicate the limited user is a "Trial Version" when if an administrator logs in, it indicates it is registered ?? Thanks !

I'm not sure what you mean by "limited user account."
Do you mean as one who logs onto a computer as other than the "adminitrator" of that particular machine? -Splain...

You are not the administrator of your computer? ? |
