I had this problem just the other day with a Dell XPS. After much hair tearing and following all the steps mentioned above it seemed that installing SP3 from Windows Update broke my ability to download further updates. I tried reinstalling from a Windows XP Pro SP2 disc and then installed SP3 from a downloaded executable (Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers) and this did the trick. Hope that is of some help

We had a similar problem to this when some of our laptops randomly mapped a users home directory incorrectly (our users AppData folder is held within their home directory).

Ooh, I'm glad I caught this thread! We seem to have exactly the same problem with a Samsung ML-1510. This one is connected through a 2003 R2 server. Only seems to be when printing web pages! Haven't had much time to look into it yet, but this has sparked my desire to have a crack at it.

Hehe, great find!

Aha! Conditional comments... of course! Glad you got it sorted, sqdge.

This probably isn't the best way to overcome the problem, but I'd create a separate CSS rule for IE and FF to explicitly state the position in each case For FF: #rightshadow { width:753px !important; padding:0px; margin:0px; background-image:url(../images/rightshadow.png); background-position:722px 0px; background-repeat:repeat-y; } For IE: * html #rightshadow { background-position:732px 0px; } Firefox should ignore the second rule and get it's background-position property from the first rule. Hope it helps - I haven't tested this though! Regards, Nick

Thankyou so much SYSMAN. I've spent ages looking for high quality versions of these logos! Where did you dig these up from?

Hi Paul, Thanks for the reply. I've just hit upon a solution, albeit a pretty messy one! Adding the following position rule seems to have done the job: * html #side-bar { width: 15em; position: relative; /* IE 6 Positioning fix */ left: 2px; } To my eyes that seems to have done the trick. Thanks once again, Nick

Hi peeps! I do hope I am being foolish and missing something very simple, but I have encountered a niggling problem with the school website I am developing. Basically when I load this page within Firefox/IE7 everything displays as I would expect, but when using IE6 there is a small (couple of pixel) gap between the menu bar and the main content section of the website. I hope the screenshots display this clearly - it is just to the right of the menu items / events boxes. From my limited knowledge I believe this could be resolved in CSS, but have no idea where to start! I have attached the files I have made in the hope that someone might be able to help me out with this! Many thanks in advance, Nick test.rar

This sounds very interesting! Thanks for the effort Sysman

Hehe, you're right! Once I realised what a plonker I was and went through the installation instructions correctly it all works well I've also noticed that when I went to add a room when I hadn't defined any custom fields it threw up a few PHP errors - but still added the room regardless. Is that just me continuing the plonker trend? Nick

Hi webman Thanks for sharing this software. I'm sure this is going to help a lot of schools!! I just spotted one thing that didn't work for me... Deleting the install.php file using the warning link you provide didn't work. It was omitting the 'index.php' file name in the middle of the URL. I'm not sure if this might be caused by the fact that I am using xampp on my local machine to test it. *shrug* Thankyou once again though! You've saved me a lot of headaches with this Nick ps. It also says 'My profie' in the control panel instead of 'My profile'

Yeah, I have downloaded the file to the local hard drive and it plays using windows media player without any problems. Yet whenever you try to play the file from anywhere but the local hard drive (through our intranet or browsing to the server we keep them on) then it only plays the sound. After some quick research we've found that Microsoft didn't include support for this particular codec in SP2 - can anyone confirm this? thanks

Hi guys, I'm still none the wiser on this one! I downloaded GSpot as recommended. That recognised that the file was encoded using an 'Indeo Video' codec. It also said that particular codec was installed on the machine. Does anyone have any other ideas? :oops:
