I’d like to put together a slide show of digital photos and add a soundtrack to it. Anyone know of a program out there I can use / purchase? Preferably nothing too techie, I’m just not that well versed in computer stuff.

Look into [Photo Story](http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx).

Sounds like it might be what you’re looking for.

It’s pretty simple to follow leading you step-by-step and you can add music as well.

Check to see if you have Windows Movie Maker installed, should do what you need as well.
