Hi Guys, I am looking at purchasing a DSLR for the school.As I currently use my own.does any body know of a supplier where I can purchase a DSLR for the school? Cheers

Hello All, I have two issues with Microsoft Word 2010. 1)I have recently upgraded our machines to Windows 7 running Office 2010.The school was previously running XP with Office 2003,the teachers create a document for the children to open on there laptops a so they can follow steps to creating a piece of work. Previously with the old set-up this was fine the children could open the documents, now with the new configuration if I have 15 laptops all accessing the the word document from a share some open up fine but some just sit at windows is starting for around 10 minutes then it doesn't respond.If you try it a few times eventually it opens? Seems to be an issue with multiple users opening the same document which was previously fine on the old config(XP,O2003)?Has anybody ever had this issue?Is there a way of fixing it need need to fix it ASAP as it is becoming increasingly frustrating for the Staff to teach.Is it a network issue? 2)Next issue is when some documents are being used,they will just freeze and when you try and open another word document or try and close it, it says there is a dialogue box open they only way to fix is too log off and log back on? Thanks Guys Look forward to your replys

@glen_j you are legend..this boggled my mind all day yesterday!Thanks again.

Old post I know!But this worked a treat for me Tosh-Sat Pro A300! Cant believe Toshiba wanted £120 to fix it..Cheers Guys!

yup that was my next plan!thanks-you.

omg this is ridiculous..I have uninstalled office AND RE-INSTALLED office with no joy.I cant understand how everything seems to work fine bar opening from word and attcahing documents within outlook..??

It does still have the same issue in safe mode with networking?I have run policy central as a GPO but I've just noticed that the machine in question does not have it installed even though it is the right OU!? Any other suggestions?i was thinking of backing up the Outlook and trying a fresh install of Office....

Yeah when loading from explorer..works fine! I Will check in safe mode..I do run PCE as a group policy but need to check which version because.will get back to you ASAP.

Hi Guys, This is a really annoying issue. When using Microsoft office 2007 i have one user who is part of the admin team,that when ever we go to open a document through Word,Excel or any Office suite apps.It takes about a minute to load and comes up not responding.The network drives can all be accessed fine through my computer and can be clicked to open.But when the user goes to file>open within word it freezes up and takes ages.I cant understand I have removed Office File Validation,Changed local Intranet settings cant think of anything else.It is strange because when I log in as another admin user on the machine the problem does not occur..So I dont really now! Help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Cheers Really appreciate the Help!if you can..
