Photo slideshow software - can any recommend . . .

Photo slideshow software - can any recommend a good one.

I used to use "Ulead CD and DVD Pictureshow 3" but it no longer works with my Windows 7 machine, so I'm looking for a new package. Can anyone recommend a good, easy to use package?

Thanks.

    Windows Movie Maker - may be part of your Windows 7 installation already, or if not , can be downloaded free from Microsoft.

    I currently use Nero Vision Express 3 part of Nero 7 on my XP machine. Guess what won't work on my more modern Windows 7 Laptop :(

    I have tried a few free ones and they just are not good enough for DVD playback with multiple titles.
    I have tried Windows Movie maker on the laptop and it is too limited in comparison.
    Picasa makes nice slideshows with pan and zoom to be played back in Picasa but not on DVD - missed opprortunity for Picasa there.
    I'm thinking of upgrading to Nero 10 suite but last time I looked the option to fit slide show to Audio length was not available! - that may be fixed now.

    When I retire the XP machine then I will be looking for new software and the Proshow mentioned above does look good.
