thats probably just about every machine less than 10 years old then!

This is probably true TeddyKGB. I found my hifi in CashCons(verters) after I'd been burgled. By the time the police bothered to check they had "sold" it, and they didn't know who to! What are the odds of that happening!

Where are you putting the vbscript? I do the same thing as you, I put the script in all users & Startup However, I have found that unless you run the script 1st, as the administrator, it doesn't always work. Would you like a copy of the script I use to try it out? PM me your email addy if you want!

Anybody who tells you that they are not having problems with Vista, isn't really "using" vista!

typical of the arrogance of teachers. "Oh I know, I'm brilliant, I'll become an IT expert, despite no experience" Why not aim for brain surgeon? Perhaps we IT techs make it look too easy!

I wouldn't mind borrowing it, if you don't mind Scruff!

I have a pdf, but they aren't any easy read, especially as the book has 914 pages, so I'm after the book, rather than the e-book. The Operating Systems: Design and Implementation is another recommended read too....

Thats the one! It's a recommended read for my Uni course

I have just finished a trial of it. It was ok, there were one or two problems, but it worked (mostly) however, for my school with 150 pc's, the head thought that £4k was far too much to spend on software. If it had been half that amount, we may have been able to get away with it!

Does anyone have a copy of Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz that they are willing to lend or sell?

Two points: (1) You haven't included a URL (2) Whats the free pc offer?

and how much are they Face-Man?

you don't say where you're from Leilani, so this may not be relevant, but I'm doing a degree from Lancaster Uni, one day a month, for 3 -4 years. The prices are quite reasonable! Have a look here for more details if you're interested!

an easy way into .php is to set up a LAMP server. I personally use Fedora, which is RedHat but free. Then setup webmin, which is an easy and effective way to setup the .php and Apache servers. You can setup webmin on a virtual linux client, if thats how your using your server.

I don't know how it's cooled, but it obviously powered by a large ego!

Quote = GrumbleDook Ah yes Tony, but do you have the hair to go with it as well?!!?

have you tried resetting the cmos?

it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek!

I hope that 6998 of the jobs are in call centres in India, an that the other two are the person who thought that a call centre in India was a good idea.... and his boss!!

I have a simple policy: NO NO NO NO NO The kids know that I study the DHCP logs, so they don't expect to get away with it!

Master Tuckey where have you been on your laptop! I suggest that you download a spyware removal tool, if this mbs is spyware. My fave is ewido, however, I take a more holistic approach to spyware and use a number of different products on infected machines. With that in mind... should you be doing things that get you riddled with spyware, try using a Virtual Machine to visit more dubious sites. Once your visit to the site is complete, the VM can be closed down and all that you've done deleted, leaving you VM machine as new when you return, and leaving you laptop spyware free.

Tell that to my uni lecturers..... that I'm trying to get hold of!

I prefer the PC version of Halo The graphics are higher resolution, and playing online is free, plus it was originally designed for the PC, but Micro$haft decided to have it for the X-Box only to start selling their console. It's obvious the game was made for mouse and keyboard!

How about here Not a bad price!

only the obvious...... go back to XP!!!
