I haven't tried this conversion but it would seem <BR>to be possible.<BR><BR><u><u>Q</u></u> How to make a slideshow with music - Microsoft Photo Story 3 is <BR>good but hard to use.<BR><u>A</u> Look at M$ Windows Movie Maker (comes with XPHome, download from M$ free) can make a movie from images &amp; sounds with transitions, titles, overlays. Saves as a .WMV movie file.<BR>Look at Faststine (also XNView &amp; IrfanView) to make a slideshow with music &amp; transition effects. I think these can be saved as .exe files. <BR>Also look for a Windows Slideshow Powertool which can do the same.<BR>The above probably don't do the zoomy transitions, but try Powerpoint (or the Open Office equivalent). But then the complexity probably approaches Photo Story.<BR><BR><u><u>Q</u></u> &amp; where to get the music.<BR><u>A</u> Google "free background music" if you didn't buy appropriate local CDs on your holiday.<BR><BR><u><u>Q</u></u> Problems with getting an image editing program to do things.<BR><u>A</u> It seems that you may be operating on a non-selected layer or region. Check that the part you are working on is selected (the layers box will show the current layer, the dotted lines will show the selected region).<BR><BR><u>Q</u> Keyboard shortcuts - where listed.<BR><u>A</u> They seem to vary between programs except for the really standard ones like cut/paste. Look in the help files or the website. If all else fails make your own list by looking at the menus.<BR><BR><u>Q</u> How to enlarge a section of a picture without "pixellating"<BR><u>A</u> The "filter" will interpolate between the pixels of the original. <BR>Faststone recomends "Lanczos3" but supplies several others. Try them all to see which appears best for you. Beware - you will not be able to read the DNA of a suspect from a surveilance video like they do on TV.<BR><BR><u>Q</u> Lithium AA rechargable.<BR><u>A</u> double AA lithium rechargable 3v battery (RCRV3) and charger are available on the web. Replaces two AA batteries (joined, so don't use if your battery holder has a divider) and has very high capacity for hungry cameras.<BR><BR><BR>Next Meetings<BR>No meeting December 28th 2007, &amp; in 2008 April 25th or December 26th. <BR>Otherwise 4th Friday - so we next meet on January 25th.<BR><BR>Topic for next meetingis "Online Photo Printing". Roger will start a discussion of on-line printing services. Please contribute your expreiences if you have tried one - price, convenience, usability/problems.<BR><BR>Future topicsI'd like to get away from "software" and have more topics based on "hardware" or "technique". A possible hardware topic is "Batteries", and "Framing" has been suggested as a technique topic. PLEASE offer to present (or lead into a discussion) on some such topics.

I personally missed Roger Foulds who could not join us due to a bad back& ..Roger handles the  money side of things and in his absence I did it including the banking! Hurry back Roger.<br> <br> Our Q &amp; A session was pretty extensive with quite a few questions and even a few answers! One member had installed another GB of Ram and then found that his computer would not hibernate. I advised that this was not uncommon and that he should uncheck the  enable hibernation box in power operations properties and then restart and then recheck the enable hibernation box. Later a further Google check came up with this website which expands on the above and even suggests a  hotfix : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909095 <br> <br> How do we get the BCC header view in Outlook Express? Within OE click on  Create mail & click on  View then check  All Headers . (now we know why you wanted to know this Oscar!)<br> <br> Is there a free alarm clock for Windows? We Googled  windows alarm clock (no quotes) and received 2,050,000 results& .do the same and choose your clock and then tell us all about it next month!<br> <br> Is there a program that keeps tab of internet download amounts? Again a quick Google of  download meter and received 42,000,000 results (not all relevant!)& one to look at is  DU Meter from: http://www.hageltech.com/dumeter/ There are many more so if you get a good one please let us know.<br> <br> I mentioned a few websites for the downloading of what appear to be useful utilities:<br> <br> EverNote 1.5 : http://www.evernote.com/en/ & gets very good write-ups as an endless role of  digital paper which can be used for writing anything...notes& lists& webpages etc& free!<br> <br> http://www.download.com/ & useful site including tracking down all categories of Freeware! <br> <br> http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Download-Managers/Free-Download-Manager.shtml & .this is a free download manager which really speeds up downloading as well as being able to resume interrupted downloads etc.<br> <br> & A pay-for service to keep WinXP working well!!... </a><br> <br> Buy Office 2007 for $75!!... http://itsnotcheating.com.au/ <br> <br> http://www.microsoft.com:80/australia/education/unistudentoffer/default.mspx<br> <br> Snoopstick!! http://www.snoopstick.com/ws12.htm & ..have a look!<br> <br> I showed two PPS photo presentations one on  how Dubai is churning ahead with it s building program & great photos but you wonder about the money and the power usage! The other one was aviation related with some of the most amazing shots. These files are too big to send so I will commit them to either a CD or a memory stick and bring them to next month s meeting where you can copy them on to the media of your choice.<br> <br> Hope to see you next month; please volunteer to show us some aspect of what you may be doing in IT. It is not that easy for me to always have interesting  stuff so give us a hand! Again, come along next month on Friday 11 May at 10:am at 280 Pitt Street on level 1.

So it looks like a configuration problem or even a file corruption problem on the member?s computer.&nbsp; We will find out more later no doubt.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>VM Demo?Tim Kelly gave us a very interesting presentation of Virtualization (VM) which to state very simply is a means of creating (with free software!) a ?virtual? device or devices on a computer for various purposes in the corporate scene; but for us it provides a means of using one or more different operating systems without interfering with our original O.S. </p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p 0cm="" 0pt=""><span style="" black="">Not only did Tim express the above much better that me he also demonstrated it in a most practical manner. I have received some requests from members to ask Tim if he would repeat his demo at another SIG meeting.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>Tim has agreed to do this at Allan Matthews?

SIG for three months, went off pretty well with twenty of us attending. I think we had a pretty good meeting. </span></p> <p><span style="" 'comic="" sans="" ms="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="">Our ?Housekeeping? was fairly brief: I mentioned that I had found out that the lifts at 280 Pitt Street are now programmed to only be operative to level 1 (our<span style="">&nbsp; </span>meeting room level) sometime between 15 &amp; 30 minutes before our SIG commences. So we can?t be such ?early birds? anymore in so far as we have been in order to set up the room for our SIG!</span></p> <p><span style="" 'comic="" sans="" ms="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p0pt =""><span style="">As I said in last month?s report: in March I will be returning from holidays on Tuesday the 6<sup>th</sup> so I will plan to be with you on the second Friday the 9<sup>th</sup>.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>I?m sure you guys can ?tap dance? if by any chance I get delayed!</span> </p0pt> <p><span style="" black="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="">Q &amp; A: We were all impressed </span><span style="" 'comic="" sans="" ms="" mso-bidi-font-family="" arial="">with John Chisholm?s demo of the Ubuntu? version of Linux at last month?s SIG and later on at home one of our members installed it on to an external drive.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>Without going in to all the details (as we discussed), our member ?lost? Windows and could not recover.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>However it ended well with the ?local? computer person ?saving? the day with some <i style="">Chinese</i> software! <span style="">&nbsp;</span>I think one point we can gain from this is that not only should we be careful when ?experimenting? ?.but also make sure that we have a pretty good ?safety net?. </span></p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p0pt =""><span style="">John Shortland brought up a couple of discussion points/questions:<span style="">&nbsp; </span>He mentioned that apparently Intel based motherboards with Core 2 Duo CPU?s have provision for only one IDE (ATA) device Port but have multiple SATA (Serial ATA Ports).<span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>John?s point was that if after purchasing an Intel Core 2 Duo PC one wanted to install more than one ATA device, say a HDD &amp; a DVD, would it be O K<span style="">&nbsp; </span>to set the DVD to ?slave?. The consensus was that it would O K.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>Do a ?Google? and ?define ata? and ?define ide? for a better understanding of these terms.</span> </p0pt> <p><span style="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="">John also mentioned that reports state that the lower priced ?Upgrade? version of Vista will not accept a WinXP or a Win2000 CD as proof of ownership; apparently one must have the previous operating system still installed on the drive. Lots of discussion on this with no clear answer. Most thought it would be O K. Thanks John.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="" 'comic="" sans="" ms="" mso-bidi-font-family="" arial="">John<span style="">&nbsp; </span>Lucke our Treasurer has been hard at work the past two weeks learning html web design with pretty good results; he presented a new design for the SPCUG website.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>Very professional and practical with all the code on a floppy!<span style="">&nbsp; </span>John asked for comments etc and I think we all agreed it was good.

When Symantec took over Powerquest they merged DriveImage&nbsp;with Ghost and changed the interface, the terminology etc. It all looked too hard! However having won my first main meeting raffle prize last month?Norton Ghost 10, I thought I would give it a go. Very impressed; it will image anything. It is particularly quick at imaging whole drives and one can look at the files afterwards as if it were in Windows Explorer. The manual is excellent; easy to follow with concise descriptive text covering just what you need to know.</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="">I demonstrated the procedure for image recovery which is to boot up with the Norton Ghost CD. This was the first time I had done this and we all agree it took a long time (on my slow notebook) to get to what is called: ?the recovery environment? where the saved image can be located and restored. I will be using this program for drive imaging and SyncBack for folders and files most probably.</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="" 'comic="" sans="" ms="">I enjoyed the meeting and I hope you did too.
