Congratulations you’ve identified the problem!

I went crazy for a couple of hours trying to figure out why the PowerPoint program I carefully developed using active x controls suddenly stopped working. I also get a Repair option before the “Some controls” message though. The open source community has not made a Mac version of Active-X, which prevents PowerPoint from playing BoardWorks content.

They might not be registered on this computer" please download flash.reg from Boardworks website:As for Boardworks message "Some controls on this presentation can't be activated. They might not be registered on this computer” and none of the interactive activities work.

If you don’t have it you can activate it by going to. I tried everything I could via help to find out why these active x controls no longer worked. Unplug every appliance from the circuit and then reset your safety switch. dmThank you for the fix! All Time. My PowerPoint version is 2016 MSO (16.0.4498.1000) 32-bit.

I'm using the Presenter 10 PowerPoint add-on and have audio files synced with animated elements on my slides.

Otherwise they should avoid using a single-platform open source technology in a multi-platform world.

By default this is “C:\Program Files\Boardworks” when adding this … 9 of 39 Boardworks Ltd 2009

(On Windows XP running office 2010 I found the files in “Local Settings” instead of “AppData”)From there just search for “*.EXD” and remove any files that you find.

Unlikely if you are on 8.1 but I've seen stranger things I suppose it depends on your update process. Now for the fix:Open Windows Explorer and type %AppData% into the address bar.

If BoardWorks wants to use Active-X then they should help the open source community by porting Active-X to the Mac.

You just made my day!

By this I mean I can't find exactly where to click on the slide, when in slideshow mode, to get the animation to consistently start. Boardworks resources bring concepts to life, with full class activities and engaging animations.

In my PPT file, I embeded Youtube address on the slide using the Shockwave Flash Object, but I can’t find it anymore under the more controls in developer tab. 0 0. delao. Many are downloadable. I'm under no illusions that staff will have converted everything to another format by the time Flash stops being supported.Oh yeah, we have lots of legacy Flash stuff, but most of our departments have been moving over to web based stuff - its more up to date and more modern.As for Boardworks message "Some controls on this presentation can't be activated. To enable the flash content by default you will need to add the location of the PowerPoint files to the Trusted Locations of Microsoft PowerPoint. At that point PowerPoint realizes that the file needs some "upgrading", spends a few seconds doing it then inserts properly. Fully editable and ready-to-teach. Which will take you to the Roaming Directory. You also need to be using a version of Flash the …

I'll also point out that insert "From a Video Embed Code" doesn't work either.

One of the most frustrating problems occurs when your lights are working, but half or all of your house power points are not. They might not be registered on this computer” when you startup specific PowerPoint files and you’ve recently updated your computer then this is likely your problem. To change these settings open PowerPoint and go to PowerPoint Options -> Trust Centre -> Trust Centre Settings and add the folder containing the Boardworks presentations to the ‘Trusted Locations’. That's the point I made to staff etc - the content in them is static, doesn't get updated and any PowerPoint files which have any "boardworks" content in.

Some of the content itself is now at least 11x years old if not older and runs on Adobe Flash which after 2020 will not work.

Could be running an older version. Toggle navigation.

Don't tell me I'm the ONLY one who has to deal with this legacy stuff? Thank you MicroSoft for complicating my life. Also i tried troubleshooting and it said to go on this: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash and to find a FlashXX.ocx file but there is none there, so …

Finally after some searching I found your site, followed your directions and the problem is fixed.

Teachers can amend Boardworks resources to help support differentiated learning.

None of the animations are working when previewing. That's the point I made to staff etc - the content in them is static, doesn't get updated and any PowerPoint files which have any "boardworks" content in.
