AquaSoft Slideshow 8 is a licensed program product for creating slideshows. Video shows that are unlike others, neither stale nor boring. Hundreds of fade-ins/fade-outs, effects, and animations, zoom, camera movements, and image animations. Output is normally burned to a DVD.  I made DVD’s for these slideshows and gave them out to friends years ago.  Probably at the bottom of a box in some closet somewhere by now.

I did some research and experimentation on providing the slideshows from my web site.  A license is not needed to view a slideshow, so the problem was to get the slideshow output available on viewers hard disk.  The output consists of many files and needed to be uploaded to the web site server for access via my web site. I was able to generate the normally DVD burn output on my hard drive and compressed the files into one zip file.  The zip file was uploaded to the web server and made available for download as requested.

When you click the desired slideshow below the next window provides more details and a place to click to request the download of the zip file. The file will be downloaded to your default download folder. Then it is up to the viewer to execute an unzip of the downloaded zip file. The zip file name will be displayed on the subsequent display after choosing which slideshow below.

The file will be found in your DOWNLOADS folder (use File Explorer). Click the DOWNLOADS folder, you should see the downloaded zip file. Right click on the zip file for zip extract options. Extract all the files then look for the ‘START.EXE”  file and double click.  The slideshow should begin. 

If you don’t already have a zip program, there is a free version from Express Zip at: https://www.nchsoftware.com/zip/index.html
