Hi I want to create a CD with an AutoRun pop-up custom designed menu. Nothing to fancy, just a nice looking screen to go to different parts of the CD (all textual documents at the moment) instead of the usual plain option boxes. Can anyone suggest the best software to use - either free or not too expensive as I won't be using it that much? Thank you.

I use autorunpro, but if you can create a web page as your main index, then all you need to do is to create a file in notepad called autorun.inf.

This should say:

[autorun]
shellexecute=index.html       (to open a webpage or use "open=" to start a program)

then save it to the root folder in the CD.

Powerpoint is quite capable of this - I believe??  We have used Opus before and Adobe will have a product - we do similar type stuff with encore and it produces interactive elemetns in 'flash'

I have used Autoplay Media Studio a number of times.  I even created an interactive touch screen presentation with it once with embedded videos, games and information. http://www.indigorose.com/products/autoplay-media-studio/
