Run a Power Point document/slideshow from Gameex

[Merculix]

Hi guys,

First of all I would like to thank you all for very good support and fast answers.

My latest and last problem I have before my whole arcade cabinet is finished (pictures soon) is the following:

I have created a help file in Powerpoint and saved it as a slideshow. In gameex I have set it up as an external program but for some reason it's very hard to bring it up. It shows in Gameex but when clicking it sometimes it start and sometimes it don't. It could be that the document starts the first time but don't end as it should (executing in the background)

Also I have managed to make it work but the problem is when I start Gameex with Instant Sheller. My guess is that Instant Sheller locks all background tasks and therefore it don't work. Perhaps it coud work if I convert the document into .exe but it's not supported in Power Point 2000.

Anyone have a guess what I can try?

Perhaps the show desktop setting. Are you compiling the PP presentation to an exe file?

No not at the moment but a friend of mine told me it would be easier if I did.

It a PP presentation saved as a slideshow at the moment.

have you tried to convert it to an html file and just load it into html applications? ex. web address: c:\dbaaks\ajdsdf\pp.html

I've converted it into a .exe file and then it worked smoothly.

Thanks for the tips anyway guys.
