[Psml] 2007 Seamanship CD

[Paul R. Soucy]

Recently our squadron received the new 2007 Seamanship Course and quickly started a new class.  Whenever we try to run automation from a PP slide such as slide 12, Chapter 3, or any other slide, we get the following error message:

''Some controls on this presentation can't be activated.  They might not be registered on this computer."

Now comes the fun part.  I've run this PP presentation from three different computers.  Program runs as advertised on my personal Desktop and Laptop, however when using the squadron's (new) laptop automation will not work.   The squadron's laptop also has Boat Smart loaded and automation works fairly well, not 100%, but enough to get by.

I've compared Power Point program settings between my desktop and the squadron's laptop and both appear to be the same.  However, I'm no computer expert so I might be missing something.

I've also loaded the latest flash.exe (ver 9) in the squadron's laptop ''C'' drive, plus in the same directory/folder where Seamanship was loaded.  Nothing worked.  All three computers are running Windows XP operating system

I would be most grateful if someone can assist us fixing this problem or lead me in the right direction to speak to an expert.

I probably should send this to the computer guys and I will soon as someone tells me their e-mail address.

Thanks in advance.
