Sorry for digging out an old thread but what would happen if I used one of these methods to give a volume key to an OEM installation?

It might be worth having a dig around the OcUK forums general hardware section; General Hardware - Overclockers UK Forums There's often a spec me a pc for £xxx on there.

Either run the .exe from a command prompt using the /a switch. Or open it using something like 7-Zip

Wait, the world didn't end? I'd better get back to work.

There are some windows based tablets, although when I tryed one (RM Slate) I found it slow. It also has the same issues as netbooks. Many websites and applications don't fit on the screen very well. EDIT: Not to mention that most applications simply aren't designed with this sort of use in mind.

Sorry, I'm in the habit of saying something is impossible, when it's actually just not a particularly good idea. Must be something to do with working with teachers.

You might find movie maker will play ball if you install some codecs.

SUPER &copy Is a handy video converter, make sure you get SUPER and not the AVS video converter that's advertised on the site. You'll have to play hunt the link on about three pages.

There's only so much you can do, there's nothing stopping them whipping out the hard drive giving it a few sharp blows or just pretending the laptop has been stolen.

You could either use web folders (which will be easier if you apply some firewalling) or the can just map their work area to a drive letter like you'd do. The only different it they'd have to provide credentials. You say you have a smoothwall, my only experience of smoothwall is express so I'm not 100 % sure your setup will support this. But smoothwall lets you route traffic between different networks (or subnets). You could create a separate subnet for your wireless, and then connect it to the smoothwall. You can then use transparent proxying to prevent users connecting straight to the internet. Hopefully Tom from smoothwall will see this thread and be able to give a better explanation. This should also keep the wireless network contained and give your network a degree of protection.

Since it's an unmanaged switch it won't do vlans.

What switches are you using?

Have you tried loading it in VM ware player?

We've got one on our exchange server. It was a bit of a pain to get it registered because there software didn't recognise our dfes domain name. We had to request for it to be manually reviewed several times. There phone support just told us it wasn't a root domain.

No, In an ideal world your DCs should just be DCs, DNS and maybe DHCP. Nothing else.

Also if you want more anecdotal stuff about them being the same, the Peugeot & Citroen were both effected by Toyota's recent recall.

No, The only way round this would be to visualise one of the servers.

This a big part of the problem. I needed to get from Gloucestershire to Devon. From my local station it would have taken well over 5 hours, however there's another station 7 miles away that's on a different line which would have reduced the journey time by two hours. Only problem being is the only bus that would have got me there in time arrived two hours too early. One thing that people often don't remember is Dr Beeching was a big advocate a better integrated transport system and in many cases he recommended the close of rail services part of his reasoning is buses could deliver the same level of service for less and with more flexibility.

Google Chrome installs into a user's profile. Depending on how you've got your profiles setup you might be able to recreate the Chrome target folder and then put some permissions on it to prevent students writing to it. Also Sophos has an option to block chrome, you can also add the download site to your filter list.

Get on yell dot com and look for local stage hire companies, or give these guys a call. Stage Electrics

Unless he's paying for the repairs out of his own pocket it won't make any difference, his insurers should pick up the cost.

If the other driver has taken liability you should be given a courtesy car and it should be equivalent to the car being repaired.

Have you disabled system standby on the PCs? Also are you using any VGS splitters?

Have you been out and tried a few cameras. The main reason I went for Nikon was because I found the grip much better then any of the entry level cameras.
