Some of us are constrained by budget. I still have W2K systems out there, but none of them have internet access or email. Some can't be upgraded because the software packages won't run on anything newer and the vendor does not offer it. I have no budget for new hardware. Zero.

I really can't help it... I have to... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Laugh out loud... - you're running *PRODUCTION* systems on an 18 year old OS, that has been out of support for over a decade, and is about as secure as a whore's drawers...??? Are these systems running on similarly ancient hardware, or have you at least managed to virtualise them so they can be run on kit that isn't likely to expire at any moment? Sorry if I sound unsympathetic... but I do quite occasionally come across a similar blinkered attitude in $dayjob, and I really do take a pretty dim view of it... No offence intended....

We could use remote assistance however! We arrange a time to connect but then find the user has gone to a meeting or is on lunch if this is the case we can then connect and do what we have to while they are out. In our IT policy it does say we can control you machine at any time for updates. question is then does anyone use VNC or similar on windows 7, all I get when connecting is a black screen Recommendations are very welcome Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: www.ultraframe.com Email: mailto:nigel.par...@ultraframe.co.uk Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
