Rod - Both of our computers are HP with Vista. Have a look at Windows Photo Gallery. It has slideshow and burn functions. Further, Windows Movie Maker allows you to build a slideshow and burn it to disc. Your digital camera software may also have such a slideshow program. We've loaded both Nikon and Canon programs for slideshows. Finally, your HP computer may have come with a Roxio slideshow program. We've had very bad luck with Roxio programs, which have always produced DVD's that will play on one of our DVD players and not the other (and it's not even consistent which works and which does not!!).

If those don't seem to give you what you want, you might want to look at an easy and inexpensive slideshow program like ProShow Gold by Photodex. It is not difficult to understand (even for non-geeks like me) and allows a lot more flexibility than Movie Maker and Photo Gallery.

Have fun. Cheers, Fred
