Not to mention the hardware issues you raise, there is better software perhaps that could jazz up your presentations. My pick right off would be that you purchase Astound version 1.5 for Windows. I use it, I love it. You can really get productive in short order, and stay in control. Full multimedia capability, charting including pictographs, 3d rotation charts, solid, patterned, gradient backgrounds (switchable across the entire project or item by item), Supports Drag and Drop features. NOTE: Interactivity <<<< it's got it! Royalty Free runtime package – self-running. Text and Titles and Transitions Video for Windows support Video Overlay – provided you have the hardware, ie VideoBlaster etc. Realtime Recording of Narration over the presentation as it runs. (Don't like the narration, do it over till it's right.) Timeline window, sound level control. Supports Animation files .awm .awa .scm and .aim (mostly Gold Disk files you create with Animation Works, Animation Works Interactive, Add Impact, or Screen Craze) Supports either .mov (Quicktime) .avi (VFW) IMPORT a presentation from MS PowerPoint or Lotus Freelance <<<< You can use what you already have produced. There's more, but enough for now. Top this off, they ship it with really useful documentation, and you can get results that – Astound. I have no connection with this company, just recognize this will make you happy. (Also could recommend Adobe Primiere 4.0 , you might have trouble remembering that you are in the gas business and start going Hollywood.)
