I am desperate! And going mildly postal, since none of the software I have found seems to be able to allow me to produce a simple slideshow of my digital photos of the last couple of cruises. I have: Microsoft Picture It; Photo Explosion with DVD PhotoPlay; Udeal Disc Creator; and the Roxio Software that comes with the Hi-Val external disc burner. Each of them seems to be able to do some of the necessary tasks, such as allowing me to sort the photos, add text to some of them for transition, etc. But none of them seems to be able to capable of allowing me to set up and burn a CD or DVD of my cruise. I am trying to put about 250 photos on the slideshow, with a total space of a few hundred megs, easily enough to fit onto a regular 700 Mg CD. Any ideas? Is there another decent software out there for creating and burning slideshows? I welcome any suggestions.

Cheers, Fred
