We have had reports from two faculty members that Turning Point locked up during a presentation. In an attempt to pinpoint the issue, we verified that all PCs had the latest versions of Office and Turning Point, and that all patches and Windows updates had been applied. After some investigation into this issue, we discovered problems associated with the PowerPoint files, and not with Turning Point.
Note: Turning Point is a PowerPoint "add-in" that allows instructors to conduct polling during a presentation using response devices (clickers).
British humor aside, The Limewire client contains security vulnerabilities and exploits-- students should avoid this application.
