has been exceeded. Then we have to move the cells over to see the whole test. If we save it this way before printing, we get a message that says, "No more new fonts may be applied in this workbook." Then we can't even cancel it or click out of that message. Can anyone shed some light as to what this means or to what we are doing wrong?

I did cllibrate the board numerous times and have unplugged and replugged the board multiple times today.. When we try and write on the board the pen works well for about one foot and then it starts to skip and just not work at all. It does not like to work any of the buttons on the toolbar or on the menu bar at the top of the page. However, the slate works perfectly with the board and software.

Is there a way I can split my screen so that what is on the board (now referred to as Mr. T) is different from what is on my monitor? It is hard to enter grades when the students can see everything I am doing.

If he tries to freeze the screen it will not work for things that need to be moving, for example a timer.

If he does not have the video card that will allow him to extend his desktop, is there any other way that he can make this work using his current computer? The only other thing that we could think of was getting a laptop to hook up to the board so he could work on his desktop when needed.

Hi I used to be able to create a magnifying glass and reveal objects on the middle layer using the eraser. The eraser now erases. good... and the magnetic ink tool is the old eraser.
Now either my memory has gone or objects are not behaving in the same way.
before to create a magnifying glass. I would create a dark area of colour (so I could see what I was rubbing out, create a circle and rub out using the eraser the area within the circle this would give me my circle for the magnifying glass I would then draw a circle on top and give it a handle group together after moving the coloured area away. This would allow me to see the objects in the layers below. done many times by folk on this forum.
But now after using the magnetic ink tool I try and hide the rough areas with a circle, the fill within the circle blocks the glass. How do you create an empty circle with just the outline? If the mag ink area is above the magnifying glass it works but then the edge is raggy or if you use translucency on the fill the raggy edge begins to show as the outline fades as well. Help please, getting really frustrated (see previous post). :mad:

I updated to Activinspire 1.3.15321 two days ago from the most recent version. Since then, about half the times that I launch it and open some of my most frequently used flipcharts (all which had worked well before) the program crashes right after opening some flipcharts (without actually eve3n trying to do anything with any of them). I'm running Windows XP.

I usually keep 3 or 4 flipcharts open regularly for quick access. This problem seems to happen when I open them in succession and the crash doesn't seem to be linked to any one particular flipchart.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? ]]> ActivInspire johnsteel http://www.prometheanplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11504 http://www.prometheanplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11503&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:19:07 GMT Hey, basically I have installed the driver 5.4.6.

The little icon then in the bottom right tray does not seem to pick up the board even though it is plugged in. I am on windows xp 32bit. Installed all the software and when I plug the board in it gives a little bell sound as to say it has found a new device. When I try to run the driver install and choose repair it does not solve the problem. After looking at a working board in another classroom and we ran the repair it worked fine and under device manager and under human interface it shows serial and driver but no usb one. Under usb section of device manager when I plug the board in it comes up with usb hub. I cannot calobrate the board becuase it thinks there isnt one connected even though there is via usb any ideas to what I should do. ]]> ActivInspire joemix19 http://www.prometheanplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11503
