4. Troubleshooting
This chapter describes commonly-found issues and solutions when using NovoScreenote.
I can’t install NovoScreenote.
Log on as Administrator to install/uninstall NovoScreenote.
On Mac, please make sure the OS version is 10.7 or above.
Multi-touch doesn’t work for me on Windows 7.
After NovoPointer software is installed, multi-touch function will be automatically enabled.
Alternatively, you can go to [Control Panel]->[Programs and Features]->[Turn Windows feature
on or off] to enable [Tablet PC Components].
NovoScreenote and Microsoft Paint are two of the software programs that support multi-touch
operations.
I can’t annotate the screen using two pens simultaneously.
Please install NovoPointer software to enable multi-touch feature, as described in the
above-mentioned issue.
It says “No camera device found.” But I do have a camera device connected.
NovoScreenote does not support plug-and-play device detection. Please enable the camera
device connected to the PC before launching NovoScreenote.
While I am making on-screen annotation, some gesture indicators keep popping
up which is quite annoying.
These indicators are called “flicks” in Windows 7. You need to turn off this feature to prevent
these indicators from showing up. Here are the steps:
1. Select [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> [Pen and Touch]. Then a “Pen and Touch” dialog pops
up.
2. Uncheck “Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily” in tab “Flicks.”
3. Click button “OK.”

While I am annotating the screen, my “drawing” seems very slow to appear.
This problem is likely caused by a slow CPU, insufficient memory (RAM), or improper
configuration of the computer’s graphics controller.
1. Ensure the hardware resources on your PC are adequate. The hardware requirements can
be found in section1.2 “System Requirements” of this manual.
2. Close unnecessary applications or desktop widgets to free up more CPU power and
memory.
3. Check the graphics controller’s settings of the computer. Usually this issue can be fixed by
installing the latest graphics driver from your computer supplier. Additionally, you may
need to tune some parameters to improve its performance. The followings are two
examples of doing so.
3.1 Installing Latest Graphics Driver
Step 1. Download the latest graphics driver from your computer supplier.
Step 2. Select [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> [Device Manager]. You should see a list of the
devices installed on this computer. Expand “Display adapters” to show the
graphics controller used on your system. Right-click on this item to bring up a
popup menu, which you can select to “Update Driver Software” or “Uninstall.”
To do a clean re-installation, you may select “Uninstall” to proceed.

Step 3. Then, follow the on-screen instructions and you should be able to install a new
graphics driver.
3.2 Parameter Tuning
Some graphics driver software has some advanced control options. For example, if you are
running AMD (ATI) Catalyst Control Center, you will need to set the PowerPlay setting to
“Maximize Performance.” Here are the steps.
Step 1. Open the Catalyst Control Center by right-clicking the desktop and selecting
“Catalyst (TM) Control Center”.
Step 2. Select menu item “PowerPlay.”

ii. Set “Battery” setting to “Maximize Performance”
Then, click “Apply” to confirm.
