Hi, I've since left the school and I believe my colleague was in talks with Sahara/CleverTouch at the time...but don't know what's happened. I'll try find out and let you know. Jon

Some kind of wake-on-lan going on there...

But I'm not sure if that includes reboots whilst a user is logged on.

Thanks for the replies and I agree with you all - SSDs/electricity. Hibernate is an idea but that doesn't install updates which Windows is waiting on a restart/shutdown for.

Does anyone have users moan about shutting down at night? As they're used to just "locking the PC with 20 documents open and coming back next day to refer to quickly"...?

Had this come through: Dear J, Following feedback regarding the importance of Promethean’s ActivInspire Software in your classrooms, we are pleased to inform you that we have decided to continue to maintain and support our popular ActivInspire Software. With the decision to continue to maintain and support the ActivInspire software, you can now continue to use your Flipcharts within ActivInspire and manage the transition to ClassFlow at your own pace. If you wish to convert your Flipcharts into the ClassFlow format, you can use the auto converter that exists in ClassFlow. For those teachers who have successfully migrated to the ClassFlow suite of products and converted your ActivInspire content to the ClassFlow format, we are excited for you to be able to engage your students with a truly immersive learning environment. Promethean continues to be dedicated to developing ClassFlow as our next-generation platform for lesson delivery. Cloud-based solutions, such as ClassFlow, represent the future of education technology and provide additional opportunities for student engagement in the classroom. Thank you for your many years of loyal support of ActivInspire, and Promethean looks forward to continuing to serve you with software solutions that engage and motivate students to learn. Thanks, Promethean EMEA Marketing Team

Hi, Thanks for your previous replies. Why is there nothing on the horizon to enable ClassFlow to natively open ActivInspire files? This would save a lot of time and effort compared to providing converting services...imagine if Microsoft said you can't open DOC files in Office 2007 and only DOCX files... Cheers, Jon

Thanks for your help. When you say 'does contain a converter', is it a separate application? Can I drag and drop multiple files into there? I saw the mass converter service from Promethean, but that's a bit shabby - they want you to send a Google Drive link with public and editable access. Would have been better if they had designated email addresses to give permission to.

Does anyone know what date Progresso will increment the year groups? And mark them as Active? Been on hold for ages!

Does this open .flp and .flipchart files natively or do you need to convert? And does converting preserve everything? Thanks, Jon

Haha snap...saving into temp folder...

APPDATA has loads of temp files...eg Powerpoints.

I want the N64 version to come out...Mario Kart 64, GoldenEye, Snowboard Kids...all good 4-player fun...which is rare these days...with everyone gaming online...which isn't the same.

Not again... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/news/185854-many-firms-hit-global-cyber-attacks-bbc-news.html

In answer to original question, we have the same issue, but we've set it to download to a folder 'Chrome Downloads' instead of directly onto their drive, and advised people to clean up/delete now and then.
