    What software makes this kind of slideshow?

    I have used Windows 7 DVD Maker to create a slideshow of my pictures on a DVD to show on a TV. It goes through all the pictures automatically. But, I want it to switch the images manually. I mean I want it to wait for me to press the enter button before it switches to the next image. Like...

    Tired of people losing data due to partition manipulation!

    Every time one of these threads starts, it is too late to tell the poster that they should not have done what they did! The only option at that point is to use a data recovery tool hoping to get some of the data back. So, I am starting a thread hoping to tell people how they can avoid the...

    Tumbs up?

    Is there a way to add a "thumbs up" sign to a post? Or, are the standard smilies the only options? This is not a criticism. It is a plain question. Thanks.

    Can you dual boot inside a virtual machine?

    Would discussions about this subject be allowed?

    I don't want to violate the rules. I did not find any reference specifically to this in the rules. There are PC games that require the CD or DVD to be placed in the optical drive while playing the game. Some users find this limitation annoying. There is a web site that offers a...
