I have XP and can have multiple xatshow slideshows.

It is true that the slideshow on a VideoCd is always called SHOW.EXE, and you
can only have one of them. Is that what you mean?

Chris,

I produced three different slide shows which I am selling. They are created
as VideoCD's with the option for installation on a PC.

When I install on my W2K machine I have three different options of
screensavers, each bearing the name of the slideshow.

When I install the same three on my XP laptop, I get one option, "Show."
That's how it appears in the Screen Saver pull-down on the desktop
properties window. I don't have the names of the screensavers, just "Show."

I can't see how W2K is different from XP. If you install from the CD the
slideshow is always called "SHOW"

This is certainly something we could improve.
