Hi I think this may be a long shot, but anyway! The one computer that had Quickroute 4.0 PCB design software died. Having replaced the failing hard disc we find that although we can get the program to run it is only in demo mode - it needs an upgrade key. With the passing of time and poor IT management (not by me) the discs and the upgrade code have been lost. I have contacted Crocodile Clips as there was one of their icons in the program but it seems pretty hopeless. Does anyone know this product? Have you access to the discs and the upgrade key that is no longer required. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All We have an NEC VT59G projector that refuses to reset the timer following lamp replacement. The unit was run right up to the time it did its auto shutoff. At present both leds are lit, holding down the help key on the remote has no effect (the remote has been tested on another projector and works fine) - I presume that after the required 10 seconds of keyholding the lamp should come on? Anyone got any ideas on this please. (NOT April Fool !) Thanks & have a good break.

Thanks for the replies, 2 Simple have come up with a lead. Never knew they did that sort of kit. Cheers

Hi Does anyone know of a supplier for the old Alphasmart leads, the one with PS2 type plus/socket? I have had no luck with any suppliers so far or - does any one have a connection diagram/circuit so that we could make some up? I realise that these are now old but we have three of them and all they require is the lead/leads to get them usable again. Thanks

Hi this may seem a dumb question but is there a quick way to remove ALL entries fron the Junior Libraraian 3 database, we need to make a completely clean start with it. Books were thrown out without being removed from the system and with the arrival of lots of new books the whole thing needs sorting. Basically I know *-all about library systems, I just need to sort the software as one of our poor TA has drawn the short straw for this. If all else fails then they will have to fork out the £250 for support from MLS-bound to moan about that! Thanks in advance.

The non running of this disc seems to be down to some Powerpoint installs inability to open a .pps file. The only workround I have found for this is to us the presentation software in Portable Apps (free download) to open the presentation. Any other methods that I tried, converting into various formats....Flash, HTML etc resulted in severed hyperlinks! Portable Apps takes up little space so, for the time being I have placed a copy along side the disc contents on the network for staff to access there. Not a very elegant solution but it works. Until Microsoft manages to get its applications to open its own files ......dream on.

Thanks, if you could PM me a copy of start_here.pps it would be good, I am assuming that somehow the file has got corrupted and they have not verified any of their CD,s. Thanks again. Technowerzel

Hi All I was given this CD to check out, "Overcoming barriers in mathematics" level 3 -level 4. You are supposed to be able to click on start_here.pps file to navigate your way though the material on the disc.......doesn't work Powerpoint can't open it "parts of file missing". No problem I thought, ordered up another one, this dult arrived and guess what.....same problem. I have looked around for odd settings in Powerpoint, tried to trick it by changing file name to .ppt, still no luck. Tried different machine. Anybody had this problem with this disc? There does not seem to be any tech person, you get through to an order line / call centre. Cheers
