  1. at the moment the printer is connected to one of the machines (both connected to the whoel school network) and then the other machine is set to default to that shared printer. Ill check out the spooling shortly....run off my feet atm with these damn exams. "Where is the remote for this DVD player? the exam starts in 2 mins"
  2. We have 2 Xp Pro PC connected to one Lexmark Z53 in a small biology office. For some weird reason the printer will only print one document at a time. If 2 people are logged on and they each send 2 documents only 1 document from one of the users will print. Does anyone have any idea why the documents are not queuing up as they should?
  3. Fantastic Now to test
  4. The install itself is basically just Xp Pro where someone has edited the install to not include a variety of things which are seen to be expendable. The source is the same. I dont see much of a problem tbh. And yes a schools agreement. Gus
  5. This is a complicated one. We have a site licence for Xp Pro in school. We are running 2 networks, 1 ICL one linked to all the other schools in Moray and 1 in school computing network running windows 2000. the win 2000 computing network is being nasty as hell and i want to upgrade it to win xp pro so im going to test this setup on an old server and 2 machines to see how well it works and if it works....If so ill do it in the summer hols. Now these older machines are PIII 128Mb RAM which i will stick another 128Mb into. The main question is....can i legaly install Windows Xp Stripped? its xp pro but stripped of all the "crap" that slows the systems down, no games, visual styles etc etc. Just barebones OS and Drivers etc. This Os runs like a dream on these machines once they have 256Mb RAM in them and i think it would sort all my damn problems with compatability etc out.

    We have it installed on 5 machines hidden in the deep depths of the school never to bbe looked at by Support Staff as it causes blindness and skin rash. (install on standalone machines is the best bet, if anything goes wrong....pray)

    EvE Run errors

    i have updated the drivers but not the game, ill reinstall remotely now. There has been a patch about 2 months ago though so i doubt it would have anything to do with the issue. Yea its an MMPORG spacey game Cheers Gus
