Slideshow?

[Guest]

I don't get it, why can't I find the slideshow option for photo folders? I followed the Help and Support instructions but don't see a Picture Tasks option.

Try running this from Start | Run | Type > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

Thanks Paul. That works for my "My Images" folder but a cd full of Jpegs that I have does not give me the same options. Is this because it is not recognised as an image folder? If this is the case how can I change this if not then what is wrong?

To play a slide show from a CD, double click on the first photo to open it
full screen. Look at the bottom for a set of icon, click on the little
screen icon or press F11 and the slide show will start.
If you do not see the icons below the photo, your window is not open full
screen, just click on the square icon at the right of the top window bar.
You can control the speed by pressing the space bar to stop automatic
advance of slides and press the right arrow to see the next one or left
arrow to see the previous one. Pressing the space bar again will bring back
the default automatic change of slides.
