    My wife is trying to attach some music files to a slide show she's putting together for the end of the school year. The slide show is in adobe elements and the music is downloaded MPG3 files from napster. The first music file loaded OK. All the others are telling us they won't load because we're missing a codec file. I've spent an hour downloading codecs and we're getting the same message. It won't tell us which one it wants. When we click on the music file it plays OK, it just want add to the slide show. Any suggestions?

    My suggestion would be to use something other than Photoshop Elements to create a silde show. (You can create a slide show in Elements? Hell, I wouldn't even use that feature if it was part of Photoshop CS4)

    Try Powerpoint.. it's the industry standard for slide shows, and can be purchased as part of Office at Best Buy. If you don't want to pay anything, and just need a slide-show, try Microsoft Movie Maker, which is free with Windows XP and Vista. It may load the audio file.

    if you dont want to spend money on Microsoft Office, may I suggest the open source equivalent OpenOffice http://download.openoffice.org/

    The OpenOffice equivalent of Microsoft PowerPoint is Impress presentation software: http://why.openoffice.org/images/impress-big.png and is included in OpenOffice 3.1. The entire OpenOffice suite is FREE. Though I use Microsoft Office (because I got the huge student academic discount), I have used OO and it is as easy to use as MS Office.
