Updating the Digital Sign

  1. 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

  2. Make sure that each slide uses a transition animation, and is set to advance after ~10 seconds.

  3. After creating the slide show, save it as a PowerPoint Show (NOT a Presentation)

  4. Copy the show to a flash drive

  5. 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.

  6. Open the Start Up folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Sign\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

  7. Delete the current slide show from this folder

  8. Copy the new show from the flash drive to this folder

  9. Restart the machine
