Workaround for Billboard problem -
08-04-2010, 01:59 PM
I was able to successfully display my image (math equation) via Alice's billboard on my school laptop (XP with "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 video card”) in certain circumstances. Successful circumstances seem to be related to the number of pixels making up the png files. It didn't make any difference whether I used MS Powerpoint to create the png file or whether I used MS Publisher to create the png file (insert obj, save as picture). Both Powerpoint and Publisher use MS Equation 3.0 / MathType Lite to create the math equation.
