-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there, I'm trying to assess whether a smart board 580 is in working order and so have done the following. a) Connected the whiteboard to my laptop via official usb-serial lead - the red light is lit on the board b) Laptop is running Windows Vista c) Downloaded Notebook 10 and drivers d) No projector is connected at the moment The problem i've got is that the drivers seem to disable the mouse and keyboard a few minutes after boot up. Is this normal?? The computer then freezes and will not operate. I've tried a lower version of notebook and drivers but the same thing happens? Anyone an ideas? Also is the fact that the red light is lit on the board, mean that it is in working order?? There are no lights on the pen tray. Any help would be appreciated. Paul
