You have the same symptoms; not necessarily the same problems. Please post the DXDIAG file as described here.  Attach the txt file do not copy and paste it.  Use the "More Reply Options at the bottom right of the reply page.

Corel is screwing around with the Kb data base.  Try this (link).

How long - in time- is your PhotoShow.  You can get about one hour of video on a single layer DVD any more, if the program would burn it, would probably unwatchable.  It shoudl not take 3 houes to create a slide show unless 1) The slide show is very long or 2) You computer is very slow.

So you would rather run up against a deadline than to try something that might work ? You have a deadline, we don't.  The more information you supply, the quicker we can guess at your problem.

That link worked and I installed the update to the PX Engine.  After that, the process for creating the DVD came up.  It ran through preparing the photos and the audio and then crashed before starting the burn.  Attached is a screenshot.

Also attached is the DxDiag.txt file.

My slideshow is about 12 minutes long is all.  As for not trying the other solution, my comment was based on the fact that I simply did not want to go through a 3+ hour process every time I made a change.  Why it takes 3 hours on my computer, I don't know. Viewing the performance of the system while is is working shows nearly all of the CPU devoted to that process.  Bottom line is that If I can't get this to work, then I will go that route.  My hope, though, is that we can get this to work.

Thanks for you help.

See if updating that video card drivers solves you problem.  Yours  are OLD ! Go here to update the graphics drivers.

New graphics drivers may solve all your problems.

Make sure nothing else is running while you are encoding including your anti-virus (turn off your internet connection).   Your computer should be faster than that.

Are you adding any videos?  Are the images you are using large in size or high megapixel?

What drive are you working on?  When did you last clean it up and defrage it?

Perhaps someone else will see somehtign that I don't.

Thanks for posting the dxdiag file.  It does help.
