help with making a slideshow

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi all

I am new to this and would appreciate some help.
I have WINXP
What I would like to do is make a slide show with my pictures and add music.
I would then like to burn it to a DVD disc that I could then watch on a home
dvd player.
I thought it would be fun to use pictures of my grandchildren growing up
with a nice song playing in the background . Then I thought it would make a
nice gift to give to my son. He has a home DVD player that is hooked up to
the t.v.
Does anyone know if I can do this.
Thanks in advance.

You can try Proshow Gold. There is a trial version.

Since you want to copy to a DVD you need the gold version.

Use Movie Maker. It is free and it comes with XP. Works great, have
used it several times.
