Conflict Between PowerPoint and Notebook Software
The latest update of Notebook software has caused a conflict with PowerPoint. Since most of us use PowerPoint files in our teaching, there will be a tweak that you are going to have to do to your computer if you have Notebook software on it. Follow these directions below and PowerPoint will work exactly like it should.
 

1.  Go to the System tray at the bottom right hand corner of your computer screen next to the clock and click on the Smart icon.  SMART icon

2.  Click on the Control Panel.

3.  On the left, click "Configure Smart Tools"

4.  Choose "Ink Aware" (It's the first tool in the list). In that box you will see all the programs that Ink Aware is working with.

5.  Click to take the checkmark away from PowerPoint or better yet...disable all of them. We really don't use "Ink Aware" and with this latest Notebook software update, Ink Aware is causing problems with PowerPoint.
