To create these slideshows, I use Windows Movie Maker version 5.1. It came with my Windows XP Media Center when I bought my computer. I have several programs for slideshows but I found the Windows Movie Maker very easy to learn-their tutorials are quite simple to understand. "On The Wings of The Wind" was my first slideshow using this program.

You can download a free (version 2.0) of Windows Movie Maker at C/Net (for Windows XP only) http://www.download.com/Windows-Movie-Maker/3000-2194_4 10187903.html

My friend, Richard, uses a slideshow program called "Flash Slideshow Maker." You can download it free here: http://flash.dvd-photo-slideshow.com/

Another program that I have just begun to learn is the Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0. This program is much more in-depth. You can find the free-trial version at
