Image Error "...Slideshw.fpt is missing or invalid"

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

Ed,

Please reconsider. External image exhibits are definitely the highly recommended approach, and internal image exhibits have been known to cause problems.
