140mb slideshow? Yikes!!

Yes, I have used slideshow, but it wasn't anywhere near 140mb. I suspect the
140mb had something to do with it.

One of the key things I like with IRFANVIEW is to back down the resolution
of digital pics for the Internet. My Olympus in it's default mode produces
600-700mb pics. I go to IRFANVIEW, select (crop) the pic, then go to
Edit/Cut-Leave selection. Then when I do a Save As, I go into Options for
Jpeg, and I back to Quality down to 20-30 or so on the scale, which shrinks
the size a bunch.

I have a gut hunch that it's as was mentioned......that it was a system
glitch not really related to IRFANVIEW.

Ron:
 I downloaded this to make a slide show of a Corvette that I recently redid
the interior on. It created a large 140 MB file with music. After creating
this is when my problems started. Have you attemped to make any slide shows?
Maybe just that function caused my problems?
