This laptop sometimes will not boot and the bios boot menu states the hard drive has failed. Intermittently this occurs. I have managed to install win7 x64 and rebooted several times sometimes working sometimes not. I also get a fair bit of pausing in WIndows. I have run a full scan of the Hard Disk and its not failing. I have updated the BIOS and reset it. Anybody came across this issue before?

Windows 8 = Vista 2.0 (Horrible, just give a GPO to turn that start screen off) WIndows 7 = Windows XP (moan about the changes since the last version but genrally OK)

Why the move from Smoothwall?

Started studying. Time + money in short supply but would love to finish it. Though with a new OS every 3 years hard to keep up.

Are you trying to install to a Intel Raid? See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753

Doh this is to hide the message about the board not being connected. Sorry.

USB stick would just be used to get work off the xp machine. But good point. I only made it in anticipaton of the new curriculum focused on programming. Though the vm would be on the C Drive which is protected by deep freeze.

I've made a XP VM in virtualbox and enbale the rdp server in virtualbox. The students can then rdp in it 127.0.0.1 . Take off file permissions for .rdp files. Slight delay with usb sticks.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SMART Technologies\SMART Board Drivers\Board Tools\ "noboard"=dword:00000001 I think thats it. by the way Smart Drivers, Notebook 11 is out now.

We've had this. Particular when the PDF is open in a browser. Close and re-open seems to fix it. Yes Adobe Reader is terrible.

We are looking at Google Apps for education. Particularly docs. We currently waiting for our domain to be upgraded to the full education version. Can you disable Google Drive and/or prevent files such as exe/vbs/bat from being uploaded? Also is their a way of changing the email address for users so its not the Google apps domain but rather our exchange server.

I'm currently trying to sort this out. Currently I have disabled libraries just using a registry fix. This is for 64 bit. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:b090010d [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder] "Attributes"=dword:b090010d However I have also gone into each application and saved a file to the home drive for the default user profile. then cleared the file from any recent lists e.g Office 2010. This seems to work. If anyone knows a better way for this to happen please let me know.

Hi I'm currently testing multipoint server. When I click on the edit server settings in Multipoint Manager. It comes up for a few seconds then disappears. Has anybody experienced anything similar. The server is a VM in ESX 4.1.

Hi I have a computer case with a door and lock (like this). I lost the key years ago and now wan't to be able to lock it. Anybody know where you can buy a key lock that is 1cm in diameter or replacement keys?

There is the memory hog issue as well. Chrome seems to be better than Firefox.

If you scroll down on that page on the right hand side it states you can use _dstoff. Anyone had experiance of using it?

Hi I have been making a unattned xml file in order for sysprep to work on Windows 7. Automating the OOBE. It all seems to work except the timezone in the OOBE pass. I want to have GMT Standard Time_dstoff . When I do this OOBE still displays the time options. When I have GMT Standard Time it does not. I don't want the DST setting kicking on. See TimeZone for more information. I have tried Coordinated Universal Time as well but _dstoff doesn't have an effect.

Yep that's the idea. Any software ideas like winpopup for video.

Because a teacher wants students to video chat but we would rather they couldn't chat (text) due to swearing, bullying etc. We have Office 2010 but I was under the impression MS Lync is a extra product and requires a on site server or hosted service. Would rather avoid the expense and complication.

Hi Does anybody know of any video conferencing solutions that enable you to disable chat. I've looked at Net-meeting (still loving XP here) however some Microsoft (yes you read that correctly) web cams that do not appear in net meeting (a microsoft piece of software). It also can be locked down with Group Policy. I've also looked at open fire which looks OK but I can't disable the chat function. Any ideas?
