system's Applications folder.
Solution:
1. View the contents of the Overlay Maker 3 CD.
2. Select and open the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click the ICS Instant Activity Kits installer icon. Note: This installer
requires you to navigate to the IntelliTools Classroom Suite program folder on

Troubleshooting – Creating an Overlay
The picture and/or text label is cropped at the edges of the key.
Probable cause: The Autosize Picture setting is off or the picture copied into the key
is larger than the area of the key. Another possibility is that Autosize is on and the
shape of the visible key is not a rectangle.
Solutions:
• Select the key and [Ctrl]+click to open the Properties of Key window, select
Autosize Picture on.
• Enlarge the size of the key.
• Select a rectangular shape for the key instead of an irregular shape.
• Reduce the size of the picture before adding it to the overlay key. To reduce the
size of the picture:
a. Paste it into Paint (Windows) or ClarisWorks (Macintosh) or AppleWorks
(Macintosh).
b. Resize it.
c. Copy it and paste it back into Overlay Maker 3.
If your picture requires additional resizing, you will need to use a graphics or photo
editing program to edit your picture.
The picture on the key is not the expected size.
Probable cause: The picture may include large amounts of background surrounding
the picture.
Solutions:
• Select the key and [Ctrl]+click to open the Properties of Key window;
check/uncheck Autosize Picture.
