You could always use the classic two ronnies sketch "Four Candles".

Could they not be admitting something here: We Even Prefer Open Office Programs

Hi everyone, one of my schools has just purchased what can only be described as a waste of a disc! The software is called All About and comes in 3 varieties: All About Shape and Space All About Materials All About Weather and Seasons They initially started life as Granada Products and then they became Semerc Products before finally becoming Sherston products!!! Problem - The software needs to be installed on the network but the network installer doesn't work with them and when running the normal installer as an administrator I get and Access Denied message!!! Managed to get the files on the server by simply copying and pasting from the disc. Why they bother shipping with an installer I have no idea. So onto my problem. The program requires that a userdata folder is accessible (not sure why as no data is saved) but it would appear that this cannot be in a shared location. Not ideal as each user would then have an extra folder in their my documents folder that I don't want them to have. Phoning Sherston support has thus far weilded any answers. When i told them that i was actually unable to install them he asked me "Do you get an Access Denied message?" So this is obviously a fault they are aware of. My question to all of you is this: Have any of you had any luck getting this software up and running with the User Data folders on the network?

OMG!! What is going on in the world?!?!? I have now heard it all.

Hi all I am currently in process of slipstreaming Office 2003 SP3 and all subsequent updates into my office 2003 installation media. I have noticed something odd though, a Full Install using the original install media is 993MB whereas a Full install using the administrative install point is only ~670MB anyone got any ideas as to why this could be? I have found this by doing a custom install on both installation wizards and choosing to run ALL from my computer.

Fantastic. The instructions worked a treat. I now have one VERY Happy teacher.

Hi I'm at the school tomorrow so will try it thanks

@ricki cheers but already done a firmware update recently.

feared as much!! i just managed to talk the school into buying 12 new machines on top of the building work they are having done so they are well and truly skint now!! oh well. let's see what we can do.

Whoops forgot to mention that an 80 point orient worked for a little longer but still ended up needing realigning during the day again!

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately moving the board isn't going to be an option due to the fact that I am on my own and no one else will help me ("not in my job description" is the general response i get for anything like this). I have already reinstalled the board's software as it is a new machine that she is using with a fresh install of windows. I will look for any pipes or anything like thank nearby after. Anyone else got any ideas?

Hi all I have a strange problem with a SmartBoard SB600 in which it will not keep its orentation/alignment. Each day the teacher has to continually realign the board even when she is teaching. On the odd occasion that the board does work she finds that an L shape section of the board is out of line whilst the rest of the board is fine. I have tried updating the firmware with no joy, reinstalling SmartNotebook 10.6 (nada!) and even given her a new machine (nothing!!). I am at a loss now as to what to do. I have a feeling it is a hardware issue but if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

OMG LOL

Paddy and Murphy were walking through a field when Paddy fell into a hole. "Are you all right??" yelled Murphy. "Nah I've broke me leg" replies Paddy, "Quick call me an ambulance" "PADDY IS AN AMBULANCE, PADDY IS AN AMBULANCE!!!"

I live in Rochdale and the toilets are already disgusting. This can only make things worse!!!

I have just literally finished reading that one!! best one yet. I'm still laughing

Brilliant website!!! Bookmarked!

Thanks for the tip, Unforunately i am now not back in that particular school until friday. Will try it then, if the teacher remembers to leave her lappy!

It's a laptop!!! lol

Hi all I am having a problem with a laptop which is in a Found New Hardware Wizard loop whenever a USB device is plugged in. Below is a video of what i mean. I can install the device if i cancel out of the loop and goto device manager but that is far from ideal. I have run a malware and virus scan and also run checkdisk. can anyone help?? I apologise for the poor video quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9qI2f_o_wA

currently in second place now!!! lol
