I'm with spanners on this - another thread in danger of charging off topic.
Also recommend Easy CD creator ver 5/Platinum. Creating CDs is easy whether they are write or re-write. I keep all my piccies on CD where they are stored for good and are easily viewable with any viewing software. Windows Me (and probably XP too?) will display pictures using explorer/my computer individually or as a slide show from any directory and/or from CD.
Easy CD creator, as mentioned, will also put your selected pictures together on a CD, add background music if you wish and save it all as a self displaying slide show. This can then be played on any PC whether it has adaptec or not - great for sending to friends and rellies.
