Is Vox Proxy supported by Microsoft VISTA?

As of August 2007, Vox Proxy is not yet ready for the Windows Vista operating system. We encourage you to wait until an update becomes available to run Vox Proxy on Vista systems. Vox Proxy runs on all other Windows operating systems from 98SE through XP home and professional and on all versions of PowerPoint from 2000 through 2007.

What is CDPrep

The purpose of the CD Prep program is to create a CD-R which will auto-start on an end-user's computer and run slide shows which include Vox Proxy scripts without requiring the user to have first installed the Vox Proxy Player. CD Prep is an optional feature for Vox Proxy and can be ordered as an upgrade. The upgrade cost is US$27.00 when ordered with Vox Proxy or US$49.95 if ordered later.
CD Prep allows you to make royalty-free CDs with unlimited distribution. The CDs will play on computers with or without PowerPoint. With PowerPoint, the program supports PowerPoint 97 or newer. With PowerPoint 97, some restricted features apply. For computers without PowerPoint, the program will look for the PowerPoint Viewer. If the Viewer is not present, it will, at the user's option, install it and run. Some script restrictions also apply to the Viewer and many PowerPoint features are not supported on the Viewer.
On the CD, you can include not just a single presentation, but a menu of presentations if appropriate. You can also include two files to provide the user information about the content of the CD - an "Author" file and an "Info" file. These files can be in HTML, RTF, or text format and can include embedded logos or graphics.

Will disks prepared with CD Prep run on every computer?

No. There are several reasons why CD's created with CD Prep may not run on some computers, including these and others:

• The computer may have auto-start shut off on its CD drive
• The user may not have administrative rights. Because the CD may have to install a Text-To-Speech engine on the computer, users of Windows NT, 2000, and XP must have administrative rights to install it (as they must to install any software).
• The user may decline to install the PowerPoint Viewer. If the user does not have PowerPoint, the CD will offer to install the PowerPoint Viewer. If the user declines, the presentation will not run.

Returns of the Product:

Return unopened software for a full refund of the purchase price within 30 days of receipt. We can only accept returns on software delivered on CD.
