Projector and monitor, we use VGA splitters instead of dual head graphics cards. I don't know how good they are, but Toshiba make some USB docking stations. EDIT: I've just had a look round the interwebs, seems they're a bit cack.

We're starting to replace our worst VT58s, the NP110 or NP115 will drop straight in.

I'd point out to management that you can demonstrate wide spread abuse is taking place and that you'd like to withdraw wireless access for students. It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot. Maybe point out there's a safeguarding issue since you can't monitor the internet usage of younger students. How do you have the wireless setup, is there a separate vLan and SSID for students?

I'm pretty sure it won't install if there's less then 1GB present. This is defiantly the case with CS4.

Papercut has queue control, controlled through a web browser. It doesn't have the pop up feature AFAIK, but to be honest I think this could be counter productive. If they whole class are meant to be printing them it would generate a lot of pop ups. It could also be used to annoy the teacher. If the teacher has asked the class to print then they should be able to keep and eye on the que.

When you say it's old I'm assuming you mean it's the 500 series smartboard with the black frame, not the 600 series with the silver frame. How is it connected to the PC? If it uses a serial cable I think there should be a separate power supply that actualy connects to a socket in the back of the serial plug that goes into the PC. If you're using USB you need to be using official serial adaptor, not a cheapy one. Generaly when you plug one of these cables in for the first time windows will prompt you to find drivers (if you point it at the folder where smart tools lives you'll find them). It might be worth having a dig about in device manager you make sure there aren't any devices without drivers installed.

Mattx on the other hand, anyone willing to wash his brain? I have marigolds. As for your Mac collection, I don't see any Umax Macs.

I think Stone Classroom monitor is someone else's product rebadged, it might even be net support. We've got AB tutor, I think it's about £200 per teacher station. But then student stations are free. http://www.abconsulting.com/html/Home.html

Try making the share read only, although this will probably just kill it dead.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh On a serious note fire signs are not an ICT technician's job. This thread demonstrates it quite nicely, since you've come here to ask other ICT techs what the regs are. And none of us really seem to know.

There's an option in most print drivers to print extra copies, obviously if this is used in conjunction with the copies selector in whatever application he's using this can result in a lot of pages. The location of the option will vary from printer to printer, but here's screen grab from an HP 1320 to give you can idea what I'm on about.

To be honest I use this as ammunition to have the laptops on the domain. Can you set the laptop to print direct to the printer's IP address?

; Script Start - Add your code below here #include #include #include #include #include #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Program Files (x86)\Koda\Forms\mock email\Form1.kxf $Form1 = GUICreate("New Email", 640, 456, 221, 312) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("To:", 8, 10, 20, 17) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("CC:", 8, 43, 21, 17) $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 8, 545, 21) $Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 41, 545, 21) $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Subject:", 8, 76, 43, 17) $Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 71, 74, 545, 21) $Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Message:", 8, 104, 50, 17) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send", 544, 408, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP) $Input4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 104, 545, 277, $ES_MULTILINE) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd

Hate mail, to people you don't like. But not art teachers, some of them like that sort of thing. Funny bunch art teachers.

But surely if the image files are the same size before you import them then they'll be the same size once imported. Experiment and find what file resolution renders the right size in word and then use on of the previous tools to batch resize all the files. SIMPLES.

test.zip I've just bodged this up.

If they litteraly just need to screen grab it you can probably make a form in AutoIT & Koda.

If you need a print out just put all the images in the same folder,select them all, right click on them and select print. You'll get a wizard which will offer contact sheets. If you want to resize the actual files; IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide is the tool you need.

I've only used it with a PC, which lets you just drag and drop the files (no special software required). In the menu it offers USB mode; 'Auto Detect', MTP or MSC.

I'm not sure it does play lists, but my little Sandisk Sansa clip does the rest. There's a new clip plus which also has a Micro SD card slot.

It's good, not it's not a hollowed out volcano. And I bet they don't have a parquet floor in their server room either.

Are they switching them on during classes, we had this at school I used to work at. It was students using stolen remotes.

I agree, I know one local school who were able to buy a complete new cisco (proper cisco, not Linksys) backbone as part of a new build. My first thought was if they'd put in procurve there'd be enough money left over to refurbish ICT in another school. I think procurve hits about the right spot. I don't see why any one would need anything more. My previous school worked on a whatever was cheap scheme and it was a nightmare. I had to push the NM really hard to make him realise that although the unmanaged 100m/b D-Link at the core worked it needed replacing.
