I would bet that they slammed the lid closed on something. Cant figure out the situation where it falls out of a bag, opens up and hits something pointy.

Tried the two links as admin and student and they both worked fine, we have shockwave 10 here, mabye it is a version problem.
-
What software is it and do you have the original disk, could it need a particular version of shockwave.

If you create an autoit script, you could re-install silently This is mine. If FileExists("c:\program files\java\javainstalled") Then Exit Else ;Block mouse/keyboard input BlockInput(1) ;Display status message, run exe wait till finished, Turn message off. SplashTextOn("Java Install", @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Installing Java Runtime Environment pease wait for" & @CRLF & "this screen to close before continuing." & @CRLF & "Completed - 0/2","500","200","-1","-1",0,"","","") ;Run java 1.4 installer. RunWait('\\server\share$\j2re-1_4_2_17-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL /L C:\windows\temp\j1.4.log" ') Splashoff() ;Run java 1.6 installer. SplashTextOn("Java Install", @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Installing Java Runtime Environment Please wait for" & @CRLF & "this screen to close before continuing." & @CRLF & "Completed - 1/2","500","200","-1","-1",0,"","","") RunWait('\\server\share$\jre-6u7-windows-i586-p-s.exe /s') ;creates directory call javainstalled. DirCreate("c:\program files\java\javainstalled") ;Display message that installer has finished then exit.

SplashOff() EndIf Just need to change the link to where the exe files are for 1.4 and 1.6. Can take out 1.4 as we needed it for some software. If you need any help with it pm me.

Ours share only has the read attribute set for the student group. Also as Quackers said setting to this folder only, also do they really need list folder /read data as ours does not have that attribute set.
-
I dont know if this would help but could you alter your batch file to including something like the following. if exist "c:\program files\AV\installed" goto :eof ELSE and at the end md "c:\program files\AV\installed" Replacing the location for a folder to be created somewhere, the script will load each time but if that folder has been created then install part should be skipped. PM if you want any more info.

I was able to create my own testbase msi, and i incorporated examquest and exampro in to it, as the pretty much use the same dll's

Thanks for that. Currently what we have is a few webpages which are located on a share on the network, which loads on start up, depending on the time, which is set between 8 - 10am. The teachers can then click and load the different videos. As the video clips change constantly, i had to alter each page, and was looking for a simple solution. Webman's solution allows me to now not need to create each seperate page and link a video in, i can now have one page and link each video to that page, although where ever the video clips are saved, the playvideo.html file has to be located in a the same folder. What i would like but i have no idea how to do this, so if anyone has any ideas. To have 1 page with 3 links on them to 3 videos. Each link will create a new webpage which would have the embedded video clip inside. I assume there would be some way using javascript, but it is far past my knowledge.

I agree the OP attitude does stink and i have no problem moving any deliveries or equipment. As for multiple MCP qualifications you can get them now, by revising the exam questions and taking the exam without ever using a computer. Maybe the reason your site staff do not move your boxes, due to your poor attitude to them due to there "under qualifications". Your obviously on a rant so maybe you point has gone out the window, if your point is that everyone else get there equipment moves and deliveries dropped off but yours don't then that is a separate issue, but you pretty much shot yourself in the foot by going on how qualified you are and how non qualified they are.

Is that the new name they are trading under.

I would tell her, that its to late only option is to wipe it, if she doenst like it she can go elsewhere.
-
I know i keep having to correct them that things get sucked into a black hole. They just look at me confused so i just tell them no the school wont explode.
-
Yeah i saw that too, i though fasthosts has struck again.
-
I keep getting asked by the students is the school going to blow up? is the world going to explode?

We use a internet whitelist of troublemakers, we got a list of the sites they need to use for each lesson and staff can still pass on any new ones. Works pretty well as the kids who mess about have no where to go but those few sites. Although often the case is that the teacher will not be paying attention to them anyway so they just play games of there usb. Again the problem is classroom management, they can do it in there own room but as soon as it is a PC suite it all goes out the window.

We have a batch file that runs on start up add the line reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v "QuickTime Task" /f That example is quicktime but in your registry it should give you the actual name of the nvidia tray icon.
-
Had a go altering the links to load elswhere but no joy. Just looking in to the window.open now to figure out how to do that.
-
You wouldnt happen to know how to set something like that up for a flv/swf file. Also i noticed it only loads the file is the playvideo.html file is in the same folder as the video. Would there any way incorporating the javascript window.open somehow, am googling for answers but its pretty complicated.
-
Thanks for that was driving me nuts trying to fathom that one out. I assume the line alert(videofile); Is what causes the pop up message box to show, so removing that would stop it. Thanks again Tom

Hi We had a problem with a laptop a few months ago and the usb ports would no longer pick up anything whatso ever, usb sticks, whiteboard, etc. Set the new member of staff up with new laptop and everything was running smoothly, today they connected the laptop up to the board via usb and it caused the laptop to power off, on turning back on again the usb ports do not recognise. Has anyone has this issue before, it must be a problem within the board itself causing a power surge. Tom

Does anyone know of an easier way to do the following, we have a list of videos we want to open up in a new webpage currently we have the index page with link to 3 seperate video pages video1.html video2.html etc. Would there be an easier way to pass the video file name to a blank hmtl page rather than creating a sperate one for each. Code using to embed the video file into IE classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95' codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701' standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>

installing software on lots of laptops
tomscaper replied to Admiral208's topic in How do you do....it?
It shouldn't make any difference using Ghost to deploy OS and software, you might have trouble if the drivers for that specific machine are not on your ghost image, so just create a new one on one of the laptops and then use it on the rest. We use RIS to deploy XP and then group policy to deploy the software, when we get new machines we often have to add the network drivers for some machines. -
