One thing that I always had some issues with on Vista with printers was when we turned off UAC. Some printers did not seem to install when UAC was off. If you turned it back on, and went through its UAC process, they would work fine. We only have about 4 Vista machines here, and they are all in use by people who can do their own support. So, they don't seem to ever call us.
Have a great weekend everyone, and enjoy the Friday 4:00 ICN session!!!

We recently bought a mobile lab cart with 30 hp laptops and have nothing but problems with them. They came loaded with Vista Business and have plenty of RAM and processor speed to do what we need. Just never have any luck with printing to the printer on the cart, accessing the internet, loading up students personal drives and the mapped drives. I will log in as administrator, fix the wireless card and than log off and hand it to a student and then it will lose the connection. I log back on as administrator and will have to repair the wireless again. Anyone out there have some suggestions on what to try or can tell me who has no issues with wireless that i could come visit them before i decide to start throwing these laptops and not joking about them. PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS!!!!!!!! Mitch Mueller Network Administrator Emmetsburg Community Schools Emmetsburg, Ia 50536 [email protected] P: (712)852-2966 C: (712)298-0596
