Updating the Digital Sign
On another computer, create a PowerPoint slide show using the following settings:
Design> Page Setup > Slides sized for: On-screen Show (16:10)
Design > Slide Orientation: Portrait
Make sure that each slide uses a transition animation, and is set to advance after ~10 seconds.
After creating the slide show, save it as a PowerPoint Show (NOT a Presentation)
Copy the show to a flash drive
On the digital sign machine, stop the show by pressing Esc on the keyboard
NOTE: you may need to plug in the mouse for the following steps. There should be a mouse on top of the digital sign computer tower.Open the Start Up folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Sign\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Delete the current slide show from this folder
Copy the new show from the flash drive to this folder
Restart the machine
