Downloading & Installation

1) During installation I am asked for a product serial number, I don't have one
You do not require a product serial number to run the trial version of our software. When installing any Reallusion products if you enter the words 'trial version' as the serial number and the software will install with some features restricted. If you wish to later upgrade and un-lock any restricted features you simply are required to enter a valid product serial number which you will receive if you purchase via our online store. You can visit our online store at: https://www.reallusion.com/purchase.asp

In short, simply type 'trial version' for your product serial number.

2) During installation "error: RPC.STUB incompatible, install will now terminate"
This appears to be a common problem caused by Microsoft releasing a new dll that is not compatible with Win98. Some developers have made an installer which includes this dll, thereby destroying your system. Here is a fix:

Download: https://download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE

Then run it, and when it prompts you to overwrite newer files, make sure you click YES for each file (not "No" or "No to all"). This will replace all of the 3.50 DLLs from XP with older versions compatible with Windows 98 (2.40.4515).

This patch works for Win98 users.

3) Do I need to download again after purchasing
After purchasing TalkingSlide you do not need to download the version from the online store. If you already are running TalkingSlide in Trial mode you can visit the online activation page:
http://activation.reallusion.com/talkingslidese/setup.htm

This will then run TalkingSlide in standard mode with all the functions enabled.

5) What options are there for viewing slideshows I have created
Your slideshows can be viewed locally from your own PC or the files can be uploaded to your website to share with your friends. An export to CD option is available which prepares the files so you can copy & distribute the files on a CD.

6) Can I use my own photo as a talking character in the slideshow
Yes, using CrazyTalk v3.5, you can create talking photos from your own photo collection. The CrazyTalk product should be purchased seperately.
At this moment, CrazyTalk4.5 is not compatible with TalkingSlide 1.1.

Exporting

7) Does the target PC require any supporting files
If viewing locally or using the export to CD option the viewer does not require to install any additional files to view your slideshow.

When publishing to the Internet a viewer will be required to install a small plug-in used to animate the talking character. This is only required the first time they view a slideshow.

8) When exporting to HTML the pop-up window still appears
When exporting HTML files a license ID is added within the script, if this license ID is not present or does not match the domain URL where the page is loaded from then the pop-up window will appear.

The ID is based on the domain where the HTML page will be hosted. You can enter the domain url in the advanced settings found in the save dialog box during the export process.

9) Exporting HTML works on my Desktop, but the screen is blank after FTPing to my website
The most likely problem is the data files (.TPS & .TJM) are not present on your web site, either you have not uploaded these to your web site of they are in the incorrect directory. TalkingSlide uses 2 data files during playback these are a .TJM Talking Image file (your character) and a .TPS Talking Message file (your speech).

When you created your HTML page copies of these 2 files would have been saved in the same directory as the generated HTML file.
