Hi,

I teach Spec Ed kids and they can really benefit from this technology so I went ahead and proceeded to get everything I needed but now having an issue of getting everything working properly.

I am using a pen from IRPensOnline.com which seems to be a good pen. I am running Windows Vista off my laptop. Bluetooth is being run through bluesoleil.

I am using a white wall as the backdrop for the whiteboard because we do not have whiteboards in our classrooms, rather blackboards so using a wall at the moment. I was thinking that a glossy white poster board might work but didn't know if it would and I wanted to try immediately. I also have the lights on during this time, the ceilings are low.

I have tried to have the remote at different differences from the wall at waist level and then again from above my head level pointed at the wall. Either the remote catches my input and works for a second or it is not following it well at all. I am unable to use the remote and the pen effectively. Had done this at a 90 degree level and a 45 degree level and hasnt worked either way.

If anyone can offer helpful advise I would appreciate it. I am going to work on this when I get home again. I have white walls at home and can try and put the remote at any level and see if I can get it to work there but any helpful hints, suggestions, etc could be helpful. thanks
