  1. Settings tab inside of the "Start Menu" section of Folder Redirection. Two tickboxes, "Grant the user exclusive rights" and "Move contents of start menu to new location". I'd ensure both are deselected.
  2. Checked the event logs on the system? Check it's not set to exclusive ownership in the GPO.

  4. I'm not an expert on modifying xboxes but the last time I read about it it required the dvd drive to be flashed with firmware patched with your key which could only happen by physically opening the unit to get to the sata cable to read said key from the drive and then inturn write the patched firmware back on. Things may have moved on though ...
  5. Look behind the front fascia for damage to the warranty seal.
  6. No, I can't see why that would happen. Some info here.
  7. Looks like it's coming out for BETT in January.
  8. Your offer is most generous fella, thank you very much for your support.
  9. Information sent Vicki, thanks for your time. Simon, thanks.
  10. Hi there, Looking to get a stock price list for the charity (Registered, UK) I'm working with in the African Adventure (gah, 3 weeks away!). Required for: HP photosmart C4380 HP lasejet 4250dtn, 2300dn, 2430dtn, 4100dtn, 1160, 4200dtn, 2300dn, 2300dtn, 1300n, 1320n Xerox documentprint n4525 Canon lbp2900i Preferably a list showing manufacturer originals and compats and whether there is mileage to adjust the packaging on our behalf to reduce as much footprint as possible by boxing sets together into pairs or so; ideally into a single spreadsheet which can then be used to directly populate an order / call off form for yourselves. (the power of copy and paste!) Supplier questions welcome, and advertising / name dropping on the solution website after we're back for the right supplier. Similarly, if anyone's got any old printers they want shot of on the cheap, please do let me know and I'll see what's what. Thanks for your time all, looking forward to hearing from you.
  11. Please see above from advert, it's for a retirement and handover is welcomed.
  12. It's been a while since I looked in Netsweeper but I know there's a reports tab there which should generate that kind of result. (Can't remember if it's available for edge sites or just LA Staff+)
  13. Yep, used that angle twice in the last year (only been a customer for just over a year). Done quite well with it, and the internet connection is lovely. (50meg, no throttling yet etc, not bothered when it comes but the feelings nice).

    I did a boo boo!

    Sorry to hear that fella.

    I hope you're not "on this pc" with the same hard disk at the moment?
  16. PaperCut - Print Logger - a free print job logger for Windows. Very good in my experience.
  17. If I don't respond (I'm in London this weekend so will miss some posts) drop me a pm with a slap.

    Which antivirus?

    Sadly, I think you'll find all paid for ones are going to be yearly. But yes, it does slow them down, we learnt to live with it at the old place knowing it did a pretty good job though.
  19. Will be in touch Chris.
  20. Have a look through this and see if you can get behind the master socket to get us another set of line stats (the sync speed will probably be the same but im interested in the other figures). This'll allow us to see if there's going to be a decent benefit with an iplate or an ADSL Nation filter here. The dynamic line management stuff will gradually increase your line sync (by lowering the target SNR) which will in turn increase your ipprofile (throughput speed) but it can take some days of stability. (Or a quick call to your ISP to reset the profile but often they can't be bothered, especially if it's Tiscali!).
  21. Yeah, pretty poor quality or very very long line there fella, worth trying the same with it plugged into the test socket (behind the master socket) which will disconnect any internal extensions and provide the best test. Looking at it, the 11.5dB downstream SNR (signal to noise ratio) is why the sync speed is so low (at 0.5mbit), I imagine normally the DS SNR would be lower (closer to 6dB) which would push the sync speed up a bit. A 'normal' BT target SNR is 6dB but there are cases of line instability where this changes to 9dB (reducing your sync to increase stability) or 12dB etc. You used to be able to argue that the line was stable and have it dropped to 3dB (to push sync up) but that seems pretty difficult these days.
  22. LLU is Local Loop Unbundling. Kitz explains very well on her site here. If you have it available it typically means you can potentially achieve up to 24mbit/s from an ADSL2+ product instead of the normal up to 8mbit/s offering from BT/others. Now, if you're barely scraping the barrel to 1mbits you're not likely to get much more I'd have thought if LLU is even available on the exchange but it's worth asking. More usefully though, lets get some sync and line stats out of your router to see whether an i-plate would help and whether your isp need to have a quiet word with the phone line.
  23. Careful still, even with a mac if you're on llu you may need to pay the new provider to migrate you in. (and change you 'back' onto ipstream/datastream)
  24. First thing to do is investigate whether the ADSL Sync is being dropped or whether it's just the PPP connection (ie, after sync'd to the exchange). If it's the sync that's going it could be your router/line or the line card in the dslam/msan in the exchange which may or may not change if you were to move providers (if it's llu then yes it would but otherwise it may well not). If it's the PPP connection dropping (ie, dsl light stays solid on router) then absolutely right give them some grief for it. Check samknows.com for your exchange to see which other options you have.
  25. Tiscali are awful; they have broken all of the ISPs they've taken over too. (f2s, nildram, pipex, etc). They are cheap, and for cheap they act cheap at times. BandyQuill if you're in Pontefract you have a lot of options available to you, but if not it's worth checking samknows.com to see if you have any LLU providers first, and if not then you should still be able to apply to any 'normal' adsl (ie, bt resold ipstream/datastream) supplier.
