That can be a couple of things. If the colour is completly even over the whole screen, it can be the VGA Cable. Just swap it with another one and you're good to go. If it's patchy, then i hope you have warrenty. Epson EMP-74 Projectors, and i think a few others, get a common fault like this. The lens right next to the prisom inside the projector has become burnt. This isn't fixable really. I've not found anyone that can supply the specific part to repair it, and you need to take the projector apart into a million pieces to get to it. When it happened here, i just got them replaced on Warrenty. When the Warrenty expired, i took one apart and discovered the problem. We just have to replace them now when it happens.

Where abouts in South London?

I currently use one just for waking up specific computers. It's a program called mc-wol. you put it in the System32 folder of your computer, and then run it in DOS. I've written a script that does this for me at 7am every morning (set in the schedualer on a server, so i know it'll be on) The only down side is that it works off MAC addresses, so you need to get the mac addy and make your script off that. The script is easy to make, it's just: MC-WOL [MAC Address] one line per PC If you want to give it a go, you can download it from here: http://www.savagenomads.net/2007/12/...tility_mc-wol/

i'll be checking out the program above now as i'm looking for somthing that does all that. I currently use one just for waking up specific computers.

I posted this on another thread, but it should work here too... I was having the same problem with the WYSE Terminals we have here. The problem was that as WYSE don't have Hard Disks, the USB drives were mounting to drive letters that users are not allowed access to. This was really annoying as i was getting constant agro from the staff and students alike. After ages looking around on the net for a solution, i found a service you can download and install (free for educational establishments) that make it so you can specify what drive letter to mount the drive to. This solved my problem, and works so well i've started installing it on all the computers i install. I've not had a single problem since installing this 6 months ago. You can download it from the following site: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html
