If you're graphics card and monitor can cope, push the resolution as high as it'll go (1600x1200 or higher) and then screendump them.  If all you're after doing is a smallish album then you can just about get away with it....
 
...as for cracking the exe then I'd expect the program to downsize the originals to pack them anyway, so I'd be suprised if there were any hi-res versions lurking in there.
Found a prog called RestorePTE & it works pretty well, saves the pics as bitmap somewhere between 2 & 3 MB.

Is that the answer to your problem? Or is quality still too low?

They look pretty good on the PC but don't know what the original sizes are.

Grey area here!

1) They paid them
2) They are on them

BUT

3) They took them

I'd say 70-30 towards justifiable copying

Yes it is, if a carpenter builds you a cupboard do you have to pay him every time you open the door?

Photographers generally keep the copyright, even though you commissioned them.
Some will however, sell you the images, some at a cheap cost, some rediculous, got to be worth a phone call asking.

I very much doubt you will get any pictures out of the program, except using the print screen trick.
probably made using Photodex Proshow Gold, lots of proffessional photographers use this or similar.

Having limited knowledge of photo disks my suggestion may or may not work.

I had a kodak photo cd created and I was able to browse it using powerpoint it seemed to break down the slideshow so to speak so I could pick what I wanted.

Used normally it was a slideshow.

You maybe able to select the exe file from within the program and open it this way it should show all the slides.

This maybe worth a look. :-/
