When you install SMART Product Drivers 12.3 on a SMART Board 480 interactive flat panel that is connected to a computer, an error message appears and will show the interactive board as not connected. You lose touch on the Windows desktop when you use SMART Notebook software while connected to an Epson® PowerLite 95 projector. To resolve this, open the SMART Board Diagnostics Window from SMART Settings, select Tools > Advanced Board Settings > VTPC Driver tab, and then clear the Enable VTPC Driver check box. You’re unable to use the drawing tools in Adobe® Photoshop® CS6 if the Select tool is selected in the Floating Tools toolbar. As a workaround, start using the tool outside the canvas, and then work your way onto the canvas. The drawing tool starts working after you drag it inside the canvas.
