start menu. If you have the stand-alone exe, please run whyteboard.exe
To run Whyteboard from source, here are the requirements:
* Python - 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 (untested on other major versions; should work on 2.4)

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
* ImageMagick, possibly GhostScript for Windows users (optional)
http://www.imagemagick.net
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ - Windows users may need this for ImageMagick
***
Run whyteboard.py to launch the application. If nothing happens, try executing
the following command from the console/terminals:
python whyteboard.py
A bunch of errors should be printed - let me know at, <sproaty@gmail.com>, or
report a bug through Launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/whyteboard
If a bug occurs while the program is running, the built-in error reporter will
appear. Use this to send me an e-mail directly, which will contain relevant
system information and a log of the error. This is the best method to report
errors. Please fill in as much detail about what you were doing so that I can
reproduce the error.
Giving your e-mail address will allow me to get back in touch with you to follow
up on the bug, and to confirm a fix.
**
Feedback can be sent from the program, click on "Help", then "Send Feedback",
which will bring up a dialog. Please enter an e-mail address so I can reply
about any issues/feature suggestions.
**
If you are getting an error starting the program on Windows,
"Application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix the problem."
...then download the C++ Runtime. 4.0 MB:

---- KNOWN BUGS ----
* Printing quality may be bad
* Exporting PDFs creates an image of your sheets and then places that image into
the PDF. Be careful with overwriting.
* Media Tool may take several file loads to actually load the file correctly.
* Media Tool may not resize the video/control panel properly
* Dragging and dropping text from Firefox will 'hang' the program until the text
dialog is closed
* Copying/pasting text with tab characters do not display the tabs on Windows
