Hi Aigars. Sorry for the delay in replying. Are you still having the same problem?

[tjosephgo]

I am experiencing the very same issue on Windows 11, help!

Could you try the new beta version to see if it works for you? Go to the easyslides website and click on the menu item 5.2 beta.

Hi, I normally don’t post stuff, but for the Kingdom I had to.

TRY THIS: Make sure Media Features is enabled in Windows Features

@Aigars Thank you for the error logs!
If you did not reload Windows, please try this – enable media features in Programs and Feature in control panel. Had the same issue, can’t remember why, but I disable media features and had the same error. Stumped me for a while

@wk thank you so much for providing Easy Slides at no cost.
as per the information above, seems like there is a dependency for Windows Media Player (legacy .exe version). It’s an edge case, maybe just add a warning on the site some where.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Running Windows 11 Sept 2023 patch with Easy Slides 5.2RC2
