Re: Urgent slide show help needed
If you're using some flavor of Windows Laptop, Irfanview will let you create an slide show in an windows EXE file. You can specify how it will fit on the display, say full width of full height and pick a background color, black usually works well, even add music, though I think I'd kill something if a continuously looping slideshow played Love Story over and over and over... I'd check that out. It's almost idiot proof. http://www.irfanview.com/ On 6/11/2013 6:07 PM, Rick Womer wrote: Hi folks, I've been below periscope depth most of the last month, largely because our son's wedding is Saturday.
