Clock Ticking
I've found a few very short segments of a clock ticking, and when I apply them to my show (the ticking has to last for about forty seconds) I can hear the little blip that occurs when each is repeated. Anyway to over come this, or can you suggest a site where I might find a longer running sound of ticking clock?
Thanks as usual...one day, hopefully, I will be smart enough to help someone else...

Depending on the file, you might be able to set "Offset from previous track" to a very small negative value like -.1 or something. Just enough to get the file to 'overlap' on top of the previous one that just finished. See if that helps.
If not, try these couple of links for a few clock ticking sound files you could maybe use, or use their search feature to search for 'clock', etc.

I'll second the motion for Audacity. Good program especially when it's free. If you're going to do much with ProShow then eventually you'll need audio file editing beyond what ProShow includes and that's where Audacity comes in.

This site has very many pages for clock ticks:

I also go with the suggestion re Audacity

Another vote for Audacity even though I use a different sound editor. I used a ticking clock in one of my shows, and not only was I able to use the sound editor to multiply the ticking, but I was also able to correct the actual timing of the ticks. Unbelievably, they weren't quite on the money, and I needed absolutely precise one-second ticks.

Shortwave radio and record WWV ? They have precise 1 second "tics"
(except for the 59th that is skipped and the 60th that is a double if I
remember correctly).

You can't have too many gadgets or too much disk space !!

Mikey, the clock-ticking requirement is now in the past, but after recording one of those noisy battery-run clocks in the house and then bringing the clip over into Cool Edit, I could see why these clocks are so cheap. They're mechanically out of tune. They're either too fast, too slow, or the battery's dead. Of course, they still work when there's a power outage, but if it's at night, who cares?
