We have a young hedgehog living in our back garden. He keeps falling in the pond so I've had to cover it with mesh. The pond, not the hedgehog.

Dare we ask how he managed to pirate himself?

I would never touch OCZ SSDs. Very high failure rate IMHO. HotUKDeals is always full of people wetting themselves when they find an OCZ SSD being sold for a few pence cheaper than it was previously. PEOPLE, THEY'RE CHEAP FOR A REASON! Buy something decent, anything other than an OCZ drive! /RANT OVER

This made me laugh....

Masochism...

Hi, whereabouts are you and how many do you have?

I give blood everyday - I work in IT in education....

Oh great, we have hundreds of Excel files laden with macros.... I'm off work at the moment but I'll have a look tomorrow to see what happens when we do an export.

Many thanks for the advice. No decision yet as I have to brief the powers that be - once they stop moving the goalposts - as to the best solution for our needs. I'll update when I can.

Did his daddy buy him his seat in F1? He's a liability and will end up either killing himself or another driver.

Bangs head on desk.....

Try pressing the either F12 or the DEL key to see if it gives you the boot menu if you're after trying to boot from CD?

It's a HP 620...

A staff member has handed a laptop in for reconfiguration during the summer holiday. It's Windows 7 64bit. All the updates are on. The first inkling of a problem was when Symantec Endpoint Live Update failed when looking for updates. I un-installed it only to find that a reinstall fails - it rolls back - with a vague message in the event log that may point to a problem with VSS. I use VSSADMIN LIST WRITERS at the command prompt and everything is stable. No problem, I thought, I'll come back to it later. Off came MS Office 2007. Same problem with trying to install MS Office 2010. Install rolls back. Not much in the event log by way of the nature of the problem. Virus? An installation of MSE goes on no problem and updates too. A scan reveals nothing. CCleaner goes on and does its job. MalwareBytes goes on okay too and updates but finds nothing. Running sfc/scannow comes up clear. I use the MS Office removal tool to make sure MS Office 2007 is completely removed. No joy. Can't re-install MS Office 2010. Can't install either program after a clean boot either. I can however re-install MS Office 2007...?!?!? Any ideas other than me hitting it with a baseball bat with a nail through the end? I don't want to wipe it and re-install a fresh copy of Windows 7.

As usual, goal-posts move and now they've decided they want staff with Apple devices to be able to access Sims.NET data whilst in school. What do I need to make this happen other than a magic wand and the will to live? Is it correct that we need a Sims.NET Terminal Server setting up? Licences? Other expenses from Capita? Many thanks for any input.

Lol, really?!?! Don't worry I know what it entails!

I have that next week

The recent film of my colonoscopy.....

I stood by the side of the road in fishnets and suspenders the other day as a test and ALL the drivers noticed me....!

Thanks, we've now had a reply from Capita regarding our query.

*BUMP* Hello Capita?

Thanks, but it's a bit of a sensitive issue

Hi, Is there anyone online atm from Capita Sims.Net support? I know you're all away on a training day today, but I urgently need an answer to a quick question. Could you PM me? Many thanks.

I put my money on his data being synced to iCloud.

Lol, what a plonker. Just about sums him up.
