For around a decade now have we sourced ours from Pennine Telecom in Manchester - 0161 766 3333 - Complete Business Communications Systems | Business Communication Technology-www.penninetelecom.com Nothing too fancy or OTT and reliable.

I have a 51 plate Fabia 1.9SDi - It now has 118000 miles on the clock and like others have said it's absolutely solid. Its certainly not fast & does need to be worked to maintain speed, especially on long gradual climbs where you have to keep dropping down gears but it will otherwise happily run along quietly doing 70mph at 2500rpm so fuel economy is great. I don't drive it hard so tend to get around 47-50mpg. Some people on the Skoda forums claim 70mpg but I personally find that hard to believe. 100 miles to a tenner is probably just about achievable if you are keeping strictly to 60mph on a long motorway journey but fluctuations in traffic flow etc will obviously affect this. The only advice I would strongly recommend is keeping to a proper maintenance schedule & regular oil changes... my timing belt snapped at Easter! It wasn't due to be changed until 120000 miles but despite the full service history the mechanic who repaired it said it looked like the timing belt had never actually been changed. One of those things I'll never be able to prove but a costly reminder to not put things like that on the back burner.

A source within says this is true...

All our of machines take around 10 seconds to open IE. We found removing eSafe software and Sophos AV solved this but obviously we couldn't leave them "unprotected" so its been a case of putting up with it.

Same issue & same error for senders. Been a problem here since last Sept/Oct - LA been looking into it but found no cause as yet. Other message is "domain has no mail exchangers" Senders email provider says: “There may be a syntactical problem at the (recipient) provider’s MX record, so that the sending system (e.g GMX) does not recognise the server name/address for incoming mail (which is part of the MX record)” Good luck!

I may be off-trqack but if the WMP window is from the classic version you can disable it in the VLC player settings.

Hi there, we have a redundant SAN with 300GB Ultra320 SCSI drives. We are intending to sell the SAN but you can have one of the drives if you wish.

Hiya, Apologies for the delay replying to your post. Two were purchased and installed Feb 2008 (Admin & Proxy/ISA), another in May 2008 (Curric) and the fourth was a replacement SIMS server in Nov 2008. They were reconfigured as part of a VM Ware structure in 2010 and removed from that over the weekend. One manufacturer extended warranty expired back in March while the others are until end of June except for the ex-SIMS server which runs until December 2012. The alternative HP care pack we have in place cannot be transferred. Craig

Following upgrades we will be selling four HP DL380 G5 servers for approximately£485.00 each. Sensible offers will be considered. All original in the box parts still available and we'll include the rails. Will probably list on ebay if interest not received from other schools. Details: HP Proliant DL380 G5 SP5200 E5335 Rack Mount Server (2U 3.5") PART NUMBER 440886-425 2 x Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.0Ghz 1333FSB 80W 8Mb L2 Cache 12Gb PC2-5300 RAM (DDR2-667) (4x1Gb/4x2Gb) 2 x 146Gb Hot Swap SAS Drives 1 x DVD R Drive 2 x 800W Hot Swap PSU Money will go straight back into school ICT fund. Will also be selling other kit as and when decommissioned such as 2 x NEC Express 5800 Server & HP MSA 20 1.5Tb SAN. Details to follow.

Pack of four genuine black - £93.00 Similarly priced for the other colours. Fortunate in this instance that we always make sure we have replacement toner in stock for any new printer we purchase otherwise I feel it would have been harder to sort out. The printer supplier wasn't very helpful considering we'd only had it a week. Total page count was 27... Each wax block has varying notches cut out of it so they only fit the intended machine...

Update Printer is now working normally following visit from Xerox engineer this morning. Using the printer menu screen, navigated to Service Usage Profile, printed this then examined line 275 which said Ink Stick Region NA Engineer contacted Xerox who then sent a firmware snippet which once installed, changed the ISR to XE (Xerox Europe) Wax ink sticks now recognised. I'm happy now it is sorted and that it was a problem with the printer. I can't begin to explain how insulted I felt when someone on the other end of the telephone kept saying "you must be fitting the cartridge incorrectly" These wax ink sticks are colour coded, have numbers 1 to 4 printed on them and are shaped in a way that they only fit in the intended slot... not too dissimilar from those toy blocks we had as toddlers that we pushed through shaped holes into a little bucket! If I could do that before I could walk or talk I'm pretty sure I can fit these wax ink sticks into a printer without any trouble - as long as my tongue is sticking out of the left side of my mouth...

Thanks Ben, reference to the act is what spurred them into action though... I also found the following statement on UK Business Forums: The Sale of Goods Act does apply to a B2B contract except where some of its provisions have been disapplied by the terms and conditions of the seller. The purpose of my post however, is to highlight an issue with the purchase of a printer and the supply of consumables so I'd be grateful if we don't engage in a discussion about the Sales of Goods Act.

Hi all I will try to keep this post simple and to the point... Purchased and took delivery of a brand new Xerox ColourQube 8570 (solid ink) printer on 2nd February Installed & Configured for network printing (Admin use) on 3rd February Purchased additional set of genuine Xerox consumables from regular supplier at £90 each on 6th February Decided to top up the printer yesterday and found that the additional ink sticks don't fit... printer displays "remove incorrect ink in slot..." error. Contacted supplier of consumables thinking they had sent incorrect stock but no, those are the correct items. Checked Xerox UK website and found this to be true. The stock which was supplied with the printer has a different part number... Contacted printer supplier who at first, was unwilling to help but after referring them to Sales of Goods Act have now arranged for Xerox engineer to call. Contacted Xerox myself where I was informed there are two types of this machine, one is for leasing use only and the other for standard sale. At this time, we are speculating the printer we have purchased is from a batch intended for lease BUT if this is true, the printer should have PPC in the serial number and also firmware installed for the purposes of leasing... I understand that occasionally, things go wrong and I don't need to tell you about the inconvenience or time spent trying to sort it out because you have all had to sort out something like this but what I am most annoyed about is the sudden show of defences and unwillingness to help from the printer supplier. I was told repeatedly that I must be fitting the ink sticks incorrectly and eventually had to take photographs to prove my case. So, watch this space for updates next week after Xerox engineer has been out. Oh, and the printer was purchased for a very senior member of staff, need I say more?

Thank you for the posts on this topic, they have been helpful to the team here following problems with recent orders. Examples of the service we have received: - 3 different account managers in as many months - Promises to beat all other quotes but are actually more expensive. - Guaranteed next day delivery but items do not arrive for days. - Orders arrive incomplete - Invoices received for items never ordered - Pay for DHL delivery but items arrive by Royal Mail standard delivery. - Quotes and confirmations arrive electronically but are addressed to someone completely different. - Spelling and grammar mistakes on correspondence. - Items addressed to complete strangers - Invoices start with "to*first name*" - Order confirmations include sentences such as: "... you chosen next day or other premeum delivery service option, them in most cases your order will arrive within 1-3 days..." (What does that mean?!!?) Need I say more? Cheers

Ah yes... remember it well! My mates car had a radio but the cassette player didnt work so we put up with whatever was playing on the radio stations we could receive. I was 16 years old and this song was high up the charts so it got a lot of air play. God I'm so old.....

After upgrading our servers to 2K8 r2 64 last August I had exactly the same problem you described above despite using new drivers and/or using the PCL 5 versions. We have 45 laser printers mostly HP devices on the curriculum network and so, rather than keep trying to force them to work we set up a 2K3 print server instead. I know its a backward step but since then there havent been any issues like this.

Update: Have sorted the Xerox and Tally 8124 - just the 8006e to worry about now.....

Migrating to Server 2K8 64bit & need drivers for 2 Tally Genicom A3 printers 8006e/8124 & a Xerox Phaser 7400. Can anyone help? I have trawled the manufacturer websites and will continue to hunt around today but any extra help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Darren My boss - a bit of a wizard on Ranger - has suggested the following: Try going to the Ranger Remote Control Panel>Help This will open Help Topics: NetSupport School On the Find Tab type "Planning and Installation" In the resulting page there is a section on naming conventions. Good luck mate, hope you get it sorted. Craig

B*gger me my home computer started doing this on Saturday! First things first I ran a full scan using my Panda AV 2010 installation and it found a trojan (I had downloaded an mp3 file on Friday and it must have been attached to that) which was then removed. Rebooted and the computer just sat on the "Starting Windows" screen for almost four minutes before loading the desktop. The hard disk was buzzing away doing "something" and within a few minutes Panda AV shut itself down and asked for a reboot. I ran the MalwareBytes Anti-Malware scan utility which found the same trojan again, again it was removed and the computer rebooted but every time the computer started Panda AV would shut itself down. Tried opening the event viewer and got an Error 126 message "unable to start the event log service" I opened services.msc and found several dependency services were not running and could not be started so I Googled it..... Go to your Windows System32 folder and look for eventlog.dll It's GONE! Copy it from your XP Installation disk or download it, copy it back into the System32 folder then reboot. Hey presto! Everything is working normally again

I meant to add earlier that all other add-ons & plug-ins installed normally. Things like Java, Adobe Flash, Silverlight etc so I thought I'll just check that *.microsoft.com was in the trusted sites before stating it was and I got the following error message: "access to the requested feature is not available due to restrictions imposed by your administrator"!!! I am logged in as admin on the local machine! My forehead is very painful now after headbutting the TFT twice but I feel better within...
