: I make Photo CD's for the Cast for a number : of stage productions that I work on. : : I know that most operating systems have a slide show feature, : but what I have been doing is adding Irfan View on each CD : in case the persons operating system does not have a slide show : feature to view the jpegs on the CD. : : This works ok 98% of the time. : : Once in a while you really have to play around with Irfan View : to get it to load the slide show. I know how to do this but it's : hard by E Mail or the phone to tell someone how to fix this glitch. : : Is there a fool proof slide program I can add to these CD's? use irfanview to create a standalone slideshow exe (hit 'w', add the pics you want then on the bottom right you'll see the option 'save as exe/scr' ) then burn that to the CD along with an autoplay file like the one below that way you don't need to add irfanview as a seperate entity :-) btw, an autoplay file is a text file saved with the name 'autorun.inf' which contains the lines: [autorun] OPEN=SETUP.EXE (assuming your slideshow is called SETUP.EXE)
