What brand of IWB is it? I had similar with a Smartboard, I rolled back to an older version of the software which got it working as expected again. I don't like v11+!

Are you running a SmartBoard by chance?

Thanks for your reply £s-gtech.The brand is Smart boeard 800 DViT.if i have the software i might try installing an older version and see what happens.

We've had of similar problems with SmartBoards and powerpoint in the past.

Make sure you have the latest .net, and VSTO updates.

Also for Smart-V11 upwards you can't annotate documents that are read only, this is includes if they are open on another computer (this one catches our teachers out quite a bit).

Thanks,is .NET Framework 4.5 okay?and also is Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system (version 3.0 Runtime) (x86) okay for this?

We've had other issues with Smartboards and Powerpoint when going full screen. When you move slides if leaves blocks / part images of the previous slide and kind of splits up the graphics!

 

I find smart software resource hungry and slows down machines by extremes.

 

Prefer the Numonics and Genieboards that we have.

Yeah, w're using .net 4.5 and VSTO 3.0 with smart 15 and the power point annotations seem to work ok. It was definatly fine with Smart 11 and 14. If you've got the admin download for smart (with the msi) then it should include installers for the recommended versions of net and Visual studio tools, and possibly flash come with it.
