    Mixing different brands of RAM - advice?

    1. Probably not. The RAM may run but it will run at the speed of the slowest memory. This may give errors or complete failure. 2. No. 3. ??? 4. As above 5. It MAY permanently damage all the RAM sticks.

    Samsung Hard Drive Issues

    I currently have 9 Samsung HDD's of varying sizes (all SATA) dates from 10/2005 to 6/2006 which display an alarming habit of failure. Will work for a time, stuff up and destroy raid arrays or just drop O/S's but generally die. Have run the Samsung tools over them but to no avail. All test OK...

    Hard Drive error help at recovering data

    Clicking on drives may well be the read write heads thrashing. This is caused by hardware faults and usually the drive is unrecoverable. It may also be a damaged File Allocation Table on the drive. This is recoverable with disc tools usually.

    AVG Free slipped to bottom place

    Have a look at the new ETrust. You can d/l a trial version that's free for 12 months. I use and like it.

    ink falling off page

    You can bet it is the fuser bar. Without it the print just wipes right off. Or falls off.

    A8N SLI will not boot past Sys Config

    Remove your ram chips and gently gently clean the edge connectors with a plastic pencil eraser. Then clean with isopropyl alchohol and replace them. If it still occurs try a new stick of RAM.

    Opening an Excel file from a shortcut is slowwwww!

    When I try to open an excel file on my desktop (stored on the desktop) it takes minutes to open. However, if I open Excel first then open the file it's instantaneous as it should be. Same thing happens in Word. Have uninstalled Office 2003 and reinstalled to no avail. Any suggestions??

    GPO for screensaver

    I believe that Symantec are suing M/S for using code from Veritas in Vista. It seems M/S had an agreement with veritas but when Symantec bought it they didn't want M/S to use the code. They are suing for the code removal as well as money for miuse and this will slow Vista even further.

    Dell Optiplex GX 260 - 3 drive failures, 2 NIC failures - pretty bad

    Seems to be pretty typical of DELL boxes lately. In the last year their systems reliability has dropped off markedly. Reputation is suffering badly in Australia.

    Printing to Lab Printer

    All are stationary desktops. The students logon script maps the 2 student printers available to them and sets the default randomly. The main issue is that often the default printer set is on the other side of the school and paper wastage is getting way out of control. Of course when it...

    Printing to Lab Printer

    I need the computers in a room to print only to the printer in that room. At the moment I have printers mapped in the logon script so students just press print and where ever it comes out so be it. How do i limit them to print to the printer in the room they are in or a close by printer??

    Wireless Logon issues

    I built a trolley containing 15 laptops which is wheeled around the school and plugged in to a network point via a Wireless Access point. This is fine but some of the laptops will not map the network drives atc. It seems the script is running too early in the sequence of events during logon...

    I have 14 Dell Latitude 505 lappies on a trolley which we wheel around the school as a mobile lab.
