Soemething to do with your networking harware does not like multicasting. You say the internet goes off but what about other network services? Have you tried pinging a server from a client to see if there is packet loss etc?
-
I think you just need to change the references to class to their ID equivalents as the regular expression looks like it will find anything with "dan" as part of it.

The insistence on .net 3.5 is a real pita. You end up having to install patches and deploy the certain versions of .net. I found the only way to do this was to make sure XP SP3 went on last by disabling it until Qwizdom installed.

You might need to issue the command updatedb to get it working initially but since you got it working with find

hmmm I see what your getting at now

locate prefs.js|grep ^/home/.*/firefox/.*prefs.js$ This should be a little more robust in the case on my system there is other other prefs.jf from other mozilla products like thunderbird.
-
It should start something like locate prefs.js|grep ^"\/home" I am just trying to figure out the rest of the regular expression to include firefox and prefs.jf.

Our SRP stops this running for kids when they try and put it into one of our machines. I have found that our AV sometimes detects it and other times it doesn't. I can tell you for a fact the last one I had couldn't removed by Sophos or NOD. It was one that kept turning view hidden files off. Luckily my machine was dual boot with Ubuntu and clam seemed to nail it.

You can use the record funtion of Autoit for stuff like this. It is a little more intelligent though as it can look for windows and buttons etc with certain titles.

What if your long locks were the source of all your power?

No sorry I never did it in the end as I got lazy when we got another member of staff so I delegated it . I think Webmans booking system might have this functionality?

A distribution group or if you wanted to personalise the messages a little more with names etc you would use a mail merge to an email.

I am open to any feedback on any models mentioned or if anyone wants to recommend a model so a price can be got for it, that would be great. Oh and do you do replacement bulbs as mentioned above? 1 x lamp for Sanyo sw36

How about the mounting hardware? Oh I need 1 x lamp for Sanyo sw36 as well while I am at it

I am looking for a basic projector for a classroom to project onto 72" Smartboard. Any modern projector will be better than the one it is replacing and the old one was adequate so I am just looking for a cheap replacement. I am open to any popular brand.
-
One of our oldest projectors has finally given up. It's a NEC VT 460. Its had a good run at about 6-7 years. I need a new projector and the pole, mounting plate as the one in place is from the days where they were specific to the projector. I need this asap. Please post all quotes here. Do not pm me or try to contact me by phone at this point. This is only open for sponsors. Anyone other companies posts will be deleted immediately. tia Chris

A VB script would be best for this. It will do a WMI query for file type and file size > X . Then you can do what you want with it. If you need the flesh of it theres one of my scripts that changed file formats. You can alter that for your purposes: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/5400-batch-image-convert.html 'WMI Script to find certain file types and run a command on them 'Chris Hindmarch FisherMore R.C High 'I take no responsibility if this script messes anything up ' Use with extreme caution as it will act on **ALL** the files of the ' defined file type in the path strComputer = "."

I can tell you that you are definately of the CLEO christmas card list this year

It must be you Si, you seem to break all of the CLEO services.

It's always worth it to make sure all the security updates are on. Your users will be clicking on all sorts of files on the Internet which will just open in IE. Who knows what payload some may have exploiting an unpatched machine. I have also found office to be a lot more stable with all the updates on. Especially Access. I generally update the administrative install and redeploy or make sure the patches are authorised in WSUS.

Check this thread for the script I wrote a few years ago to to back to convert between formats. You can alter this to do the functions you require. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/5400-batch-image-convert.html

Yes unfortunately you still need to assign staff their roles.
