If you experience issues with the "Clicker" software such as: you can't open the settings pane or you don't see the "show" pane, then please read on. There is an issue with compatibility between "Smartboard" technology software (using PowerPoint) and "Clicker" technology (which also uses PowerPoint). To get around the issue you must disable the "Smartboard add-in (within PowerPoint options). Here is the procedure to complete, depending on the version of Microsoft Office PowerPoint you have. Once you are through using the "clickers" you should re-enable the add-in for the next instructor.
