I am a ITRT in Va. and am having trouble with ink layer showing on computer that I just installed Notebook 10 software. I have installed exact software on other computers around building and it is working fine. I see the floating toolbar and teacher can use Ink Aware feature, etc---just not Ink Layer. Any thoughts or tips for fixing this???? Thanks--Beth
