UPDATE: It's working now. I had to remove it and reinstall it to stop the crashes. It works great. I really like the different formats that you can pick to display the pictures in and I like that you can add music too. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Crashes every time I open it on my PC. I would consider buying the full version if I could actually see if it works.
