Contact your Brigade POC or JROTCcmhelp@gmail.com for help to repair and compress your database. G. Apache OpenOffice conflicts with MS Office Some computers are running OpenOffice instead of MS Office. The CM needs MS Office installed in order to view the lesson materials. Even after uninstalling OpenOffice problems persist and CM does not open documents correctly and MS Office File Fix utility does not seem to help. 1. After uninstalling OpenOffice you need to re-establish the file association to MS Office. 2. Hit Start-->Run and type the command-line switch below into the box and hit Enter (or click OK).

General Firewall notes In order for the CM Tech support team to provide assistance via remote access, they will need to use the TeamViewer application. By default TeamViewer uses only the outgoing port 80 (HTTP) - no firewall configuration is necessary. Alternatively you can open port 5938 (TCP) for outgoing connections. 19

20 Computer Configuration and Setup Issues This section of the manual deals with errors that require installing or configuring software or hardware. If any of the following error messages display when you try to run the Curriculum Manager, then go to the section listed in the table for instructions on how to fix. This message displays when you first Launch the CM application or when you display a CPS slide or CPS Game Complete Step A (page 22) This message displays when you open a Keyword game from the Keyword slide in a presentation Complete Step B (page 23) This message displays when you display a slide that has Flash animation content embedded Complete Step C (page 24) 20

21 This message displays when you display a slide with Flash animation content embedded Complete Step D (page 26) This message displays when you try to open the CM Reporter or the CM Question Editor Complete Step E (page 26) This message displays after you have downloaded a CM Patch and the Update tries to run a Prelogin task Complete Step E (page 26) 21

22 A. CM v2 cannot find the CPS IR receiver while CPS work fine with the receiver If the CPS clickers do not work, it might be because the einstruction Device Manager is holding on to the IR receiver and not sharing with other programs. NOTE: Newer einstruction software has a different icon on Windows Status Bar. New icon, Old icon Solution: 1. Click on the einstruction Tools Icon Fig. 10 Windows Status Bar 2. Click on einstruction Device Manager 3. Click on the CPS IR receiver icon Fig. 11 Device Manager Menu 4. Click on the Disconnect button Fig. 12 Device Manager Icon 22

23 Fig. 13 Device Manager Disconnect button 5. CPS IR receiver icon changes from green check to red X Fig. 14 Device Manager Status 6. Now einstruction Device Manager is not holding on to the CPS IR receiver and can be used with other applications. Start CM v2 and if you skipped the CPS IR detection CM v2 will try to redetect it when you start a CPS question CM v2 currently support ONLY CPS IR receiver and clickers. It does NOT support the RF receiver and clickers yet. B. When launching a keyword game you get ActiveX security message 1. Launch Internet Explorer 2. Click on Tools then Internet Options 3.

PowerPoint error Some controls on this presentation can t be activated When navigating to slides with flash content you get an error Some controls on this presentation can t be activated. They might not be registered on this computer. You must install the latest Flash plug-in to fix this. CM Startup menu >Required Plug-ins > install Flash under Adobe and follow the installation prompts. E. When I launch CM Reports and Question Editor or when there s a Pre-login task found I get an error The most common cause of this error on Windows XP and Vista is missing the.net framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. The.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 can be downloaded from Microsoft. A link to that download is found under the CM Startup menu > Required Plug-ins. If the.net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is installed and you still have issues launching reports and question editor, your CM core database might need to be repaired and compressed. See page 19 for help. 26

27 F. Antivirus and internet security programs The preferred Antivirus program to use is McAfee which you can download from the JROTC Portal. Login to the Portal and then click on Automation>Download Center. AVG If you are using the AVG Antivirus program, it may cause CM to run slow; slides may take a long time to load. This happens because AVG actively scans each file (slide, document, audio, movie, etc ) as it is opened, which delays its display in CM. To resolve this issue: 1. Open AVG. 2. Open Link Scanner and turn off the settings. 3. Open Resident Shield and turn off the settings. Norton If you use the Norton Antivirus program, it may delete the CM Start menu (CM_Start.exe) off the CM drive. This happens when the new SONAR Norton component mistakenly identifies the startup menu as a security threat and removes it. To resolve this issue: 1. Restore the CM_Start.exe from Norton quarantine. 2. Make sure the box exclude from future scans is checked. G. Wireless Troubleshooting 1. Click on Start, then Control Panel Fig. 20 Control Panel 27
