@talksr; Did you author those ADMX files yourself. How did you get them to reference each other as it looks like the registry key needs a lot of tweaking to change all of those settings in a different way (apart from the network one which I have managed to make a template for so it can be used per user for students only)

bUSBy: Continue to plug your pen drive in the back of a computer even though there are perfectly good USB ports on the front but they are hidden by a flap.

The Cable Guy: Insist on moving your desk as far away as possible from the network/projector point next to the whiteboard and then complain because your leads don't reach anymore

There is a message for you. Insist on creating a new helpdesk ticket to inform the technician of updates to an existing one 5 times in a week!

I've been looking into something like this D6 Technology - School Communicator. Is there anybody that uses it? It was actually referred to me by a pupil who came from a school in south africa that uses the system and it looks to be an easy way to get information out. (If we can persuade parents to install it of course!)

You can try this tool from Piriform. I've managed to recover some files from partially formatted drive with it before Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

We've used it for the last 4 years or so. The teachers here love it. We import the data to a database and they can view the responses by class or tutor group. We use a red/amber/green formatting to split up the sections so it's easier to view.

That's handy I got a suite of computers from them last year. I guess my warranty won't mean very much now!

A lot of netbooks that are win 7 have win 7 starter edition on them but I've not had any problem with win 7 pro on the netbooks I've tried it with. Even get aero on my MSI wind

Or this with red needs a bit of touching up on some of the small letters

Tolerance of 2 gave this... Do you think it will suffice? edit the background is transparent

the magic wand select tool could do it. You might need to play with the tolerances a bit. Is it possible for you to post the image so I can see whether this method might work or not?

That seems to be it. No idea where the other IP address is but setting it to one that was definately not in use worked. Redid the etc/networking/interfaces too so now have both NICs working fine. Thanks

I'm having an issue when setting up a squid proxy but I don't think it's a Squid issue. I have one 1Gb ethernet connection set with two IP addresses eth1 and eth1:1 eth0 does exist but it's a 100Mbs and I couldn't get Debian to configure them both together by simply editing /etc/network/interfaces so I stuck with just the one. The problem occurs when trying to ping a router for internet access. I can ping it fine from my windows machine but the output I get from debian is login as: mjf [email protected]'s password: Linux SCUTTER 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011 i686 The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright. root@SCUTTER:/home/mjf# ping 192.168.1.254 PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.35 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.642 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=58 ttl=64 time=0.627 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=59 ttl=64 time=0.597 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=60 ttl=64 time=0.609 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=61 ttl=64 time=0.940 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=62 ttl=64 time=0.612 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=118 ttl=64 time=0.611 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=119 ttl=64 time=0.621 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=120 ttl=64 time=0.597 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=121 ttl=64 time=0.618 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=122 ttl=64 time=0.636 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_req=123 ttl=64 time=0.609 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.254 ping statistics --- 126 packets transmitted, 13 received, 89% packet loss, time 125002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.597/0.698/1.357/0.209 ms root@SCUTTER:/home/mjf# As you can see I get a ridiculous number of packet dropout.

Good point.

I think the posted date kind of gives it away.

North Norfolk Radio are running a piece on how a new European Directive will mean that this year will be the last year April fools day will be allowed

Nearly got me until I went to the Google Docs Motion site too With technology like XBox Kinect though I don't really see it being beyond the capabilities of developers to do this sort of thing

Was this done with a survey tool or on good old fashioned paper? The latter might involve more work but once you enter the responses on a spreadsheet or similar you could generate pie charts of the data. We do our Wellbeing questionnaires like this but I can't think of a different way to represent data like that really.

I've search everywhere for a way to do this but whatever I try just doesn't work. I've created a database to take the PASS data and combine with a sims export so that teachers can view the data for the children in their classes. I have a form that opens a report after the user has selected a class. When the report opens the 'select class' form minimises so that it doesn't obscure the print preview. A button on the report can then be clicked to take them make to the 'select class' form. I have tried events for OnOpen & OnActivate with DoCmd.Restore but the form stays stubbornly minimised and just won't restore. I know that I can put [OpenArgs] method in the OpenForm code but I can't work out the syntax it wants for this. The code I've got currently is. Private Sub Command35_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "Select Class", acNormal, , , acFormReadOnly, acDialog, OnOpen = DoCmd.Restore DoCmd.Close acReport, "Pass Data Query", acSaveNo End Sub but this comes back 'Expected Function or variable' error. Am I looking at this from the wrong angle or is there a combination of these commands that will work.

I've also had this happen but I've noticed that it is usually only images that are copied from the internet. If they are saved to the computer first then it will print them no problem. I am using PCL5 drivers though (too many other problems were encountered with PCL6)

To be honest I would suggest removing winsuite (hateful program) and setting everything on a group policy. I assume that you are running a fairly recent server/client configuration. A little bit of forward planning is needed to do this but I found it makes things a lot easier to diagnose. Removing winsuite was the first thing I did when I started here (to a bit of challenging from some staff but after it was done they were grateful)

Running Impero here on all computers but only I use the remote control settings. Have them disabled for teachers but they can still disable internet etc

That looks really familiar but I can't place it at the moment. Do you have any idea on a timeline for it? Someone beat me to it but found them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telebugs
