As I know, nero 9 can burn video and files. It doesn’t support slideshow. You may download this photo to dvd burner for a try .I always use it to make slideshow and burn it to DVD to play on my home DVD player, it’s easy to use and works pretty well for me.
Hope it helps, email me if you need further help.

Comment on What photo editing software highlights just certain objects and leaves the others black and white? by John Lewell

You can do this with any photo software that supports masking. It can be done with free tools like GIMP. You don’t need the full version of Photoshop as it can be done in Photoshop Elements using a combination of selection and adjustment tools. If you take a look at PhotoSoftwareNews.com you’ll find hundreds of photo manipulation tools and other related software. There’s a whole section on black and white conversion software as well.

Comment on How can I downgrade from windows 7 to Windows XP or Vista? by David S

David S — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:00:53 +0000

The difference between Windows XP and Windows Vista was from the ground up, making it difficult for programs and drivers from XP to work in Vista cus everything fuctioned in a different way and system files were replaced or located in different folders. And a bunch of new features were added.

HOWEVER

This is not so with Windows 7, 7 is not a radical redesign of the OS, its basically Windows Vista with a new interface and slightly optimised resource management to improve speed…. That is why everyone rants about how Windows 7 is so smooth and bug free for a new OS…. its not actually anything significantly new besides the GUI, Libraries (which are basically shortcuts) and a few other niggles…

The only programs that dont work with Windows 7 are programs that deal directly with the inner working of the PC (for things like Tune-Up programs, Anti-virus and Disk partitioning software) – Not for things like photoshop, Pro-Tools and Solidworks

I installed Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools regular on Windows 7 with no hassle, however if u still have problems i recommend going to the program files folder that contains ProTools.exe or ProToolsLE.exe , right clicking on it, PropertiesCompatibility then in the Compatibility Mode area click Vista Service Pack 2 from the drop down menu, then click in the box below Run as administrator

Althought im doubtful there would be any issues cus i dont have any (on my 64bit systems) this should solve any problem

Also check that your not trying to install the 64bit (x64) editions on a 32bit (x86) PC

Comment on How do you run windows 7 beta off of an external hard drive? by cob

what i might suggest doing is sacrificing a OS for windows 7. its really worth it. also, i would use that external HD to backup whatever in case you want to change back if you dont like it.
