More Educational Software Issues, this time boardworks on windows 7

[caffrey]

Anyone got a fix for boardworks on windows 7? I suspect it's an old version. It installs fine but the menus do nothing and you can't quit out of them.

No matter, just got a reply from boardworks, seems like it's a not free upgrade.

We bought it in 2007 and they gave us a free upgrade to make win7 work in 2010

It's just a bunch of Powerpoint files at the end of the day. The important ones are named by topic in the boardworks folder although the teacher notes aren't.

[caffrey]

yep, easy for us to do, notsomuch for the teachers ;p

You could extract the powerpoints from program files and run them as standalones without the wrap around app.

Yeah I did that on a previous machine but this is for an image - just looks nicer with the menu.

Thanks everyone
