Bonita,
Two things come to mind concerning FTST's apparent slowness. I have
FTST on two computers, main and laptop. On the main computer it takes
about 30 secs to fire up SlideShow Manager, on the laptop it takes about

Win98, the laptop 2000. Some initial research seems to have pinpointed
the presence of HP drivers in the Win98 environment to be the problem.
