RE: SSP on ATI by osborn4 in User Support - V7 on Windows 7- I see now that both of those are integrated cards.
I found one with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (512MB) for $620 and the lowest price nVideo PC I found has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 220M (1GB) for $725.
Other specs are roughly similar.
Is it worth the extra $100 for the nVidia card (other things bing roughly similar)?

RE: SSP and Quickverse 2008 by akins in User Support - V7 on Windows 7- Unfortunately, SSP's support for QuickVerse is being deprecated. The view is that most people would rather purchase the Bible(s) they use directly and without the need to purchase a separate program. As a person who has used QV for years and benefited from having 10-12 Bible versions available to use in SSP as needed, I have been somewhat disappointed in SSP's decision. It will cost me about as much to just purchase NIV for my two workstations and one projection PC as it did for all the Bibles, books, commentaries, atlases, etc. from QV. I have maintained the use of XP on our projection PC simply for the availability of QV. Obviously, I will have to switch over sooner or later and lose my vast selection of Bibles in SSP. Tech Support may (or may not) be able to help you at this point. I hope they reconsider their future use of software such as QV.

Intel Sandy Bridge quad-core benchmarks by osborn4 in The 'Wave Pool'- I wonder how this will change SSP hardware requirements?
First Intel Sandy Bridge quad-core benchmarks: Nearly as fast as Core i7 980X,
could make low-end graphics cards obsolete

RE: Thumbnails by osborn4 in User Support - V7- Try switching back and forth between advanced and basic settings. And when in advanced, go into the background image selectetor and try to switch to different listing options (list, details, thumbnails, etc) to see if that breaks anything loose.

RE: DVD support? by iamgap in User Support - V7 on Windows 7
I have PowerDVD7 on our projection machine, and it works fine. IIRC, trial versions won't work. Is yours still working in trial mode, or did you purchase a license?

RE: Playing video in slide show by osborn4 in User Support - V7- Is there sound in the video that you want? Is the slide show an automated show (like an announcement loop) or a manually advanced show (like a sermon)?

PowerPoint files are skipping the first slide when presented in SongShow Plus (TS116) by George in Troubleshooting- Symptom:
PowerPoint files are skipping the first slide when presented in SongShow Plus. This appears to only be happening with PPT 2010.
Possible Cause:
Root cause is unknown at this time.
Possible Solutions:
1. Add a blank slide as the first slide of the PowerPoint slideshow.
2. Convert your PPT files to slideshows using the slide import tools.
3. Create your slideshows in the SSP Slide show builder.

RE: Send The Fire Background by osborn4 in In Action- The background color was set to black and the background image to don't show, to have the unmasked part of the background black.
To get the text where I wanted it, I changed the song layout properties so that the lyric area was about the top half of the screen and then selected center/center for alignment.

RE: how to add audio to a slide show? by akins in User Support - V7- Thanks for reminding me of that, Gary. Since I was using a sound instead of a song, that had slipped my (old) mind.

RE: A Song that is, but isn't... by akins in User Support - V7- Have you tried deleting one of the copies in the database using Windows Explorer? I've had to do this when SSP gets confused about titles that look the same except for special characters.

RE: Images as songs? by dlmoon in User Support - V7- In my opinion the best way to do what you are trying to do is use background improv. I use it every service both background image and background motion. You can have a different image or motion for each verse and or chorus of a song. I try to fit the background to the theme of the service be it patriotic or winter, spring or harvest time. It looks like to me to make different slides for each song is a lot of unnecessary work. With background improv you are only limited to the number of images/motions you have in your liberary. I have created a folder called 1 Today's Improv. The number 1 in the foloder name makes it be the first folder in the improv folder tree. I copy the backgrounds I want to use for that service in that folder. Before the service I expand my Today's Improv folder and all my backgground motions or images are right there handy. Sure you have to use the mouse a lot more and pay close attention to where you are in the song and remember to kill the background of the song by clickiing the Transparent button but after using it a little you soon get used to it. Since I started using background improv I am constantly getting comments on how much it adds to the service and sets the mood for worship. I love it and I'm sure you will to if you work with it and give it a chance.

RE: Program Panel by dreece in User Support - V7Posted By George Taylor on 23 Aug 2010 10:58 AM
All,
I believe what you are looking for is the Multiline text option.
From the program panel, select the 'Show Details' drop down icon and make sure the Multiline Text option is not checked.
Actually, its call "Full Text" (George: you're looking at the new, yet-to-be-released build).

source video lost when using Video Device in SongShow Plus (TS115) by George in Troubleshooting- Symptom:
When trying to use a device from the Video Devices panel the video signal is lost and either a blank or default background is presented instead.
Possible Cause:
The signal has been lost because the device connected/added in the Video Device panel is powered off.
Possible Solution:
Turn on the device connected/added in the Video Device panel. Restarting SongShow Plus or removing and re-adding the device from/to the panel may be required to restore the connection.
Possible Cause:
The signal has been lost because the device connected/added in the Video Device panel has gone to sleep.
Possible Solution:
Prevent the device connected/added in the Video Device panel from going to sleep by disabling the hibernate or power saving mode. Restarting SongShow Plus or removing and re-adding the device from/to the panel may be required to restore the connection.

RE: Video files playing at 2x speed sometimes by DougM2 in User Support - V7 on Windows 7- Well, I updated the realtek sound drivers from the Asus support page for my mobo (P6X58D Premium), and I couldn't get Alvin to sing for me. Seems like all is well, only time will tell I suppose.

RE: General Refresh Problems with Slide Shows - Win 7 by DougM2 in User Support - V7 on Windows 7- Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest build. Initial tests after service today indicate that it is fixed. Updated some random slides from today's announcements and they instantly changed on screen. Now if I can just get Alvin and the chipmunks out of my videos (randomly) we will be set! "Current" still doesn't refresh if you add or delete a slide, but re-running the slide show fixes that.
