The setting did take. Restarting the program (actually, rebooting the computer THEN restarting the program) changed nothing.

After working with it more, I can clarify what problem I am having. When I want to insert a photograph into the middle of a slideshow I am creating, I position the slideshow with the area where I want to insert the slide so it is displayed onscreen. Then, when I try to drag the photo down, as soon as I enter the slideshow area, the slideshow area immediately returns to the very first slide, and I can no longer see the section where I want to insert the slide. I have found a kludge that SOMETIMES works, but I would like to find how to do this correctly. If I put the red slider bar on the slide that I want to insert either before or after, then compress the slideshow as much as possible, so it doesn't take up the entire area, i.e. the first slide is already displayed, I can then drag the photo directly above the red slider bar, then down into the slideshow area. That is a very awkward thing to have to do.

I found the Menu>Options>Other setting where I set the placement of the new photos in a slideshow, however, no matter what I set it at, it always places the photo at the current location. I have registered my copy (today), so I am not using the free edition anymore. I have set it at "ask me", "start of slideshow", "current location", and "end of slideshow." No matter which I set, it always puts the photo at the current location. One complication, it also always slides the slideshow back to the very first slide.

I have a deadline to meet, so I gave up on trying to recover the file and started over. However, thank you for responding.

I have been working on a slideshow for weeks. Tonight, I tried to preview it and suddenly, the slideshow at the bottom is gone. I have previewed it many times before while building it. The photos are still in the media bin, but the green checkmark showing that they have been added to the slideshow is gone. The slideshow window is completely empty. HELP!
