The specific version of Windows I have the most trouble with is one of the latest ones. I don't remember offhand if it is Windows 7 or 8. In any event, at this particular computer (for complicated reasons) the student can only sign on as "Guest". Windows installers are blocked regardless of the destination drive/folder. So, I in the end, I install it on my own PC... copy it to my flash drive... and then when I go to that house, copy it again from the flash drive to their hard drive. > > 2.

It would probably be equally good if I could just have a Mnemosyne server hosted on the Internet that they, as remote users, could get the cards from. > Feel free to add any feature request to our uservoice forum, so that > other people can vote for it. > > Cheers, > > Peter > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
