I still have it on my old computer and it still works.
My copy of ProShow Producer has a hiccup with the preview but otherwise works fine.. Support to fix it is gone.
Migrating to a new computer tomorrow and looking at alternatives myself.
PTE AV posted above looks promising if I can’t make something in the new Adobe Suite I have work easily.

I used ProShow Gold for several years and was very happy with it. Fortunately, the shows I produced I have saved and can show on TV or computer. However, it seems the various Microsoft updates made ProShow difficult to continue with. There have been work-arounds but I had to go through too many steps every time and that drove me crazy (crazier?). That is why I purchased PTE AV Studio.

Showing any bias there! Maybe my version of Premiere Elements runs on propane, but it sure works well for slide shows!

FWIW, Adobe offers a 30 day free trial and follows with a 30 day refund period for both Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. The license is perpetual, not subscription. They both come with Organizer that will do automated slide shows.

sputter sputter, back fire,, aaa bias... who me. I am really against Adobe for the Rental game. Yes, I have 2018 elements and with your positive biased advice, I may upgrade to the new Premier, since my modern DSLR and my Panasonic TZ100 both do videos easily.

For stills, lesser programs [not PS] do all I need when plugins are added. But short videos are the trend so get with the program Don..

" I am really against Adobe for the Rental game. "

Is that really rational? One can now get the Photoshop/Lightroom system for $10 a month. Wasn't the last price of the Photoshop CS6 Creative suite near $1000? What am I sputtering and backfiring about.

Worldwide, there are about 15 million Creative Cloud subscribers that aren't.

It still works. I had used previous versions of ProShow Gold and when I discovered they were moving to a subscription-based service, I upgraded to the latest version with various add-ons. I only recently installed it on a laptop for my wife to use to create a multimedia slide show for a memorial service for a family friend and ProShow Gold worked fine.
