Simple, easy, lets you set up a transitions and zoom in on individual parts of a photo.
Plus, you can download the non-commercial version for free to try it before you buy it.

We used this at a tradeshow, downloaded during the show and had it up and running for customers in just a few minutes. We already had a picture file on the computer of our products, so it was easy!

Picasa it is! simple and good transition effects. Thanks yall's
Dear Maniac,
Now to load it onto one of my new computers, I should be doing that too for my Customers on a daily basis, not just at a trade show!!! LOL! Might keep them busy while I'm running around doing things and have people in the shop.
Thanks for the idea!

what did I do wrong? I downloaded picasa, I'm running XP, and had some huge issues. my internet connection kept trying to do a dial up and I'm not a dial up. it just kept trying to dial up over and over again once I installed picasa so I had to do a system restore to get things running right again. I upclicked the "send info to google" and "make google my home page" but other than that, it should have been OK.

I tried Picasa years ago and did not like how it searched and tagged every form of image file on my entire computer and seemed to add lots of other files to the system as well.
Maybe it's different now and maybe it would be OK if you only have it on a computer dedicated to running that slide show...?
Back then, it just seemed like it took over way too much of the image file handling on my computer and I ended up doing a system restore to get rid of all the garbage it left behind.

FastStone Image Viewer has a pretty nice Slideshow feature that lets you add transition effects and music, can also display filenames / meta tag data from what i remember. Also has some basic editing options for cropping / resizing, touching up color / brightness / etc., and is just all around pretty awesome. Hasn't been updated in a year and a half but it really doesn't need anything fixed or added.

we already do the same thing. we use windows dvd maker. its included on your windows operating software. it works great!
oh i have to mention we bought a flat screen with a dvd player built in. every couple of months we just update the movie file with new pics and burn a new dvd. its the way to go. you dont have to worry about having a computer dedicated for it. just pop in the dvd on the back side of the tv and you are set. it will play loops which is what you want. you dont want to keep hitting play.
