Programming Art Forums: Slide show presentation using LCD projector

I hope somone can give me some suggestions and advice. I recently downloaded the trial version of ESSC to give it a try. So far things look good on my PC monitor, but before I purchase the registered program, I would like to know if it will suit my specific needs for it, and haven't found anything in the FAQ's addressing this.

I'm putting together a rather large photographic slide show, with music, to be shown at a family reunion. I'll be using an INFocus LCD projector, model Lite Pro 560/570, connected to a laptop computer (not the same computer I am using to make the slide show.) This will then be projected on a large screen. My problem is, that I will not be able to try it out with this projector until the day of the event, so I would certainly like to know if it will work satisfactorily beforehand.

1. Will the ESSC program work well for this type of production?

2. Is there any particular photo resolutions (minimum/maximum) I should be using? They are varied now, some fill my screen (800x600), and some are small centered in the screen.

3. Should I use the "Prepare Slide Show for CD Rom" to save the program, burn it to CD, and then use it on the other laptop for the presentation?

I would appreciate any help or tips someone can give me that have used this program in this way. Thanks for any advice!
