Our office purchased two of the Epson video projectors (EMP-715) this summer. Anyway, there was a piece of software included in those projectors - EMP Slidemaker. With this software, you can take a PowerPoint 97/2000 presentation and simply drag-n-drop the presentation onto the slidemaker icon and it would paste the slides of the presentation into this software. From there, you could transfer these slides into a memorycard that you could insert into the projector - therefore, eliminating theneed of a laptop for presentations.

Anyway, we are rolling out Office XP in our company and this version of EMP Slidemaker (version 1.1) does not work with XP. Anybody know the where-abouts of an updated version or are we just stuck?

Hate to think that we spent that kind of cash on two Epson projectors and be stuck with incompatible software. We called our sales reps and they refuse to return our calls regarding this issue.

Since EasyMP claimed to work in a Windows/NT environment, have you tried compatibility mode?
1. Click Start, click All Programs.
2. Point to Accessories, and then click Program Compatibility Wizard.

Tried all of the different compatibility options but no luck. Everytime it tries to paste a slide into the presentation, I keep getting an error message that says "failed to paste slide". I've got administrator rights and everything - thinkingit is still a compatibility issue don't know for sure. Any other ideas?

You, sir, are an animal! I guess I wasn't looking far enough away from home. Who would of thought that piece of software was in Denmark or Germany - where ever that site is.
