We don't have CC4 but I know a school who are experiencing a lot of trouble with Lenovo laptops falling over at the bootstrapper stage of the smartclient process. I think it's related to the wireless cards in them. We have 150 Acer laptops that connect easily to CC3. Hopefully they'll do the same when we get CC4.

Can anyone assist We have recently changed providers and they have blocked us sending mail as they are convinced our server is an open mail relay(!) Nothing has changed bar the host gateway address. The Email software we have is IPSWITCH IMAIL and I have no idea how to configure it to stop this happening or how to trace where it's all coming from. Any Ipswitch gurus out there? Cheers Andy

I have been experiencing all the above various clients, I ran the simsinfrastructuresetup; removed all installed components; reboot; ran sims.net and this resolved my problems. I don't know what the 'official' fix is.

thanks, I'll give it a try

thanks for the advice although I still haven't cracked it will post it when I have

Hi OK I'm pretty good with some parts of excel but not great with macros or when it comes to comparing the difference between non numeric values, what I would like to do is give a cell a colour based on a comparison to a target level (above target ,on target, below target, way below target, beyond help!) the levels being 7a,7b,7c,6a,6b,6c,5a,5b,5c,4a,4b,4c,3a,3b,3c,2a,2b,2c starting at 7a and decreasing 1 increment all the way to 2c say a target score was 7c, if above, anything more than their target score, the conditional format would go blue if on target (equal to whatever their target) the conditional format would go green if more than 2 increments below their target, cell changes to amber if more than 3 increments below their target, red more than 6 points below their target, brown I hope this makes sense!

we have 36 miniBooks out around the school ...in the hands of yr8's! its early days but already there have been some puzzling problems and one breakage. problem: after connecting usb pen/sd card the initial Removable Device screen appears, click "OK" to open in File Manager, you receive a permissions error, click "OK" to this and the device appears with a broken link icon next to it in the File Manager window fix: from File Manager press CTRL + T to enter terminal window. Type sudo -i type mkdir /media close console window. This worked for us ... one other thing ...the protective rubberised sleeve that protects the miniBook also acts as a good insulator so make sure they are turned off before putting them away they get fiercely hot!
