ezwieback 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 I moved my TMG9.05 program and data from a Win-10 PC to a new Win-10 PC. Moved all the data and photos as well. I have many photos as images, all set as "external". A few thumbnails display but just a few of the 442. When I click to open any image, I get a error message "Memo File e:\documents\ .....\slideshw.fpt is missing or invalid". I select "ignore" and get to the Exhibit page which shows a frowny-face. The image properties display the correct file location. I checked the TMG9\Slideshow folder and do see files such as slideshw.dbf and a slidest.fpt , but no slideshw.fpt file. I did a clean install per Jim Byram using my 9.05 CD "Setup Wizard" with no improvement. Appreciate any ideas/help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 I'd delete all files in the Slideshow folder. They will be recreated when you open the Exhibit Log. I think that will resolve the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezwieback 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Jim, I did just as you advised and it solved the problem (no more error message). Now, I have to gather up my messed-up "external" images and save them as internal images. Many thanks for the clear and prompt help. Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2016 Ed, If you ever plan to make a website or to move to another program, you want all exhibits to be external. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2016 Ed, Please reconsider. External image exhibits are definitely the highly recommended approach, and internal image exhibits have been known to cause problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
