  1. Looks like I might be back to using AutoIt Si
  2. Sorry - give him both barrels then But it won't be a problem - the Ipads will just be "redeployed" as SLT tools Si
  3. I don't think that's going to be able to guess where the win7 drivers are either Si
  4. Extra info - it just took 4 minutes to come back with a dialog box to tell me that Si
  5. @synack I've run your script and now my install doesn't hang anymore but the printer hasn't been added as of course neither it or the server have the drivers. Can I get away with just sticking the drivers in a nice easy to find place? Si
  6. This is for win7 starter netbooks with the user having full admin priviliges and UAC turned off. My 1st problem is that I don't know/can't see how to add Win7 drivers to the w2k3 server If I go into the share tab on the server I'm not given the option of Win7 (which doesn't surprise me as w2k3 wouldn't have heard of win 7!) The server was set to auto update but I'm doing a manual one as well in case that helps Si
  7. As I said Si
  8. Slow up people Maybe the OP is like me, got a IPad/'droid pad and is seeing if they can overcome the devices limitations with some clever geek stuff not available to average home user They've not said they've bought all the pupils one and now realised it doen't work Si
  9. I use WPKG to deploy software and have used this vbs script Option Explicit Dim netPrinter, UNCpath UNCpath = "\\server2\RicohCopier" Set netPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network") netPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath WScript.Quit to install printers shared out on my w2k3 servers on XP but they don't work on Win7 I beleive this to be because Win7 doesn't have the drivers built in for my photocopiers and of course my w2k3 server knows nothing about win7. I see posts about installing the drivers before installing/mapping the printers but I've no idea how to do this. I don't use domains/GPOs - the w2k3 server is just a file/print server so I'm after a simple script based approach Help! Si
  10. Is it capacitive or resistive touchscreen (sorry for all the questions ) Si PS And can you confirm that it doesn't have any cameras?
  11. Was that a 2nd hand price or new? (and where from?) Si
  12. What tab have you got? Si
  13. Its the PSU - cross coupled it from another base unit and it worked - luckily only 2 months old so now the joys of getting FS tech support to believe that I know what I'm taking about and please just send me another PSU Si Si
  14. Well I took HD out of it and put it in another unit and the other unit works so I think that confirms it But on the bright side - I've finally got a real hardware fault to investigate - I might even get my multi-meter out Si
  15. We've all been there, teacher says they've tried everything, checked that everything is plugged in but they still say the computer won't turn on. Today (Oct 5th 2011), the unbelievable finally happened - their computer ACTUALLY won't switch on - genuine psu/switch/mboard fault! 10 years I've been doing this and its finally happened Si
  16. The silly so and so's Si
  17. Just seen this thread I'm not sure if my simple network share system would help you but I have my computers auto-login and then present them with a simple AutoIt GUI dialog box where they click on their classname and then the P: drive gets mapped to their class folder. It works with XP and Win7. Simon
  18. How would you know then? Or maybe it was the 30th thing you did Si
  19. Just trying to reply now [edit from main comp] well it worked but literally took me 4 attempts - it kept coming up with either the attachement menu or took me back to editing the text - It was very tricky to get it to accept that I wanted to press the Submit button (which was probably my problem with my new thread attempt a few mins ago - the point is - mobile experience isn't good [/edit] Si
  20. I was certainn that you couldn't do that Maybe it was introduced without me noticing. But in practice - its irrelavent to me - I just tried post a message from my mobile - typed in a subject and message and pressed submit - nothings arrived (did it twice - nothing - just sits on my post Si
  21. More RAM has proved to reduce app disc thrashing in all previous Windows versions so more RAM is always good All my Win7 netbooks (about 20 so far) came with 1GB and work fine (as all new computers tend to do) but they can all take 2GB instead. And with memory being cheap as chips at the moment ( ) if your not strapped in the budget dept - just get a bunch of them at purchase time and do a wholesale swap. Si
  22. Thats an interesting find - I wonder if Apple's lawyers have sussed that Samsung's knicking another of their ideas? But I think we want them to be phones as well so they can be used on trips. And we might need a little bit of 3G facility as well if they are used as walkie-talkies at the far end of the field at lunchtime Si
  23. unless they bought them recently, then no. AXA own Swiftcover and I don't think AXA/Aviva have any close relationship Si
  24. I'd thought i'd try and check this out and in googling came up with this article Up to 36,000 parents are involved in motor insurance 'fronting' scam, new figures show | Mail Online What a mixture of "facts" (and I'm probably being generous here) and mis-use of the english language to give the impression that 20 billion parents in the UK are all fiddling their car insurance (or have I got confused ) Si
  25. I decide what's simple or not around here mmmm I find that NON of my problems are a priority (But to be fair - ZH has said there is something on the way for me - I'm hoping for statuary Comic Sans MS as the forum font! ) In seriousness, the buttons are too small for me on my phone (HTC Desire) and non-ability to get to last post is probably the most blatent UI issue. I would think that the mobile version of the site could have a twitter-like page so you can easily see what's going for instance. I don't know what the price/data transparancy of this forums software is so that's might be a valid defence -so be it - but it doesn't stop me wanting what I want I'm a JDI person Si
