[Psml] 2007 Seamanship CD

[Robert Miller]

Paul,
 
This question came up earlier and I had the same problem on one of our
squadron laptops. The solution was to download and install Adobe Flash
Player which is a free download from Adobe.
 
Cheers,
 
Bob

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.
