My opinion of Brother printers is well known to my employers and to anyone who has read more than a few of my forum posts so todays weird task was rather strange. At one site we have many Brother HL-20X0x series printers which routinely work fine, fine being a loose definition of cheap and only likely to jam once or twice a day. They also have a nasty little habit of burning out or cooking their paper sensor, oddly the newer ones more so than the originals. Originally Posted by Mary Shelly You will rejoice ...

The two latest versions of Office handle paragraph breaks differently to Office 2003 and this seems to cause negative reactions from some users. Lately I have been exposed to a group of people who were new to the Office 2007/2010 way of spacing text and have discovered that they dislike the default settings. I think that the issue is not so much based on usability but more based on inertia with regards to previously learnt behaviour. The standard behaviour ...
OK, I know the "old" XP version of Movie Maker wasnt the best - but as far as quick (ish), easy, and user friendly and FREE movie editting goes - it ticked the boxes. It also follows all the rules for Group Policy etc with no irritations unlike some commercial offerings. Problem, Microsoft upset the EU Anti Trust bods, so no longer is it in newer versions. Ok, no biggy - lets use the new "Live" version. Er... no - its full of "Live" links and upload and ...
So... Windows Thin PC (Windows Embedded Standard 7 - for its full name really) is now out, whats the story? Its the replacement for Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCS... ie its a cut down version of the current Windows OS, designed for older PCs to make them last a bit longer. You can use it to make a "Think Thin Client"... ie Autologon, start an RDP session and thats it. And thats exactly what Ive done with it. So, hows it all set up, and ...

From time to time you may wish to find out who is logged into a machine. I find this batch file handy for doing this. Its quick, simple and easy. Just copy and paste the below code into notepad and save the file as who.bat Code: @echo off :CHECK echo Checking Connection ... ping %1 -n 1 | findstr "TTL=" >nul && GOTO MAIN || GOTO ERROR GOTO END :ERROR echo Device Unreachable GOTO END ...
@echo off :CHECK echo Checking Connection ... ping %1 -n 1 | findstr "TTL=" >nul && GOTO MAIN || GOTO ERROR GOTO END :ERROR echo Device Unreachable GOTO END
I've finally got my Tuxedo card topped up and have just went on a mini-shopping spree and bought myself a few 'new' games on the EA Games site. How easy! All you do is choose what you want, enter your card details and voila, you can download the games! I like technology!!! *Goes to play C&C TW: Kanes Wrath, Medal of Honour Airborne and SimCity Societies*
So recently our main ICT suite came up for its 4 year renewal. We use ACER 6410 laptops in there and they have done a good job over the years. Now I like these laptops a lot but they are showing signs of age with 512mb or Ram and slow 5200rpm hard disks. I didn't really want to scrap them as the laptops are working well, they just needed a significant speed boost. The first thing I did was to obviously upgrade ...
