  Hi kiwozikonnections,

  I’m so sorry! I totally didn’t see the part where you specified that you were running Windows XP. (I must have needed more coffee.)

  After testing, I can confirm that the slideshow is very wonky using IE8, and I’ll let our team know about it. In the mean time – can you try another browser (like Firefox)? This solves the issues you are seeing, and also has the benefit of giving you an overall better browsing experience.

  You can check out where to get Firefox (or another alternate browser) here:

  Hi all,
  I now consider this topic closed and just wanted to thank everyone for their input. The conclusion based on comments to come out of this discussion, plus my own research is:
  1) The introduction of “Carousel” created all sorts of hassles (mine was fine pre this period) – have a look around the Net at the issues other’s have had too.
  2) WP are admireably right up with the play for the later OS’s and Browsers, it is just a pity they have depricated support for older one’s considerably earlier than many other companies out there. The suggestion “you can fix our problem by replacing your browser” I will leave alone !
  3) I’m not sure whether the “WP Slideshow” little issue I had was also related to the Carousel hickups but it all happened at the same time.

  Fortunately by creating a Link to “Windows Live” I can run a “Carousel” and a “Slideshow” all on my old, antiquated, unsupported system !
