<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

I was supposed to work last Friday but something came up last minute.  I had already added the time to the time sheet I turned in last week so I made up the hours on Monday.  Joe wasn't here on Monday or Tuesday so he left me a list of things to do.  There was a computer in room 208 which was missing a graphics card driver.  2 days and 10 drivers later, I still could not get the card working. I dusted the computers in rooms 107 and 108 using a can of compressed air, loaded the new Audacity and Google  Sketchup on the computers in 216, took everything out of 3 metal cabinets in room 204 and rearranged it in the cabinets in the wall, and checked 2 projectors and 2 laptops that were in 204. 

The microphones that were in room 204 are now locked away in a cabinet in 216.  The two laptops in 204 are both in working condition.  One is running on Windows 98 while the other is running on XP.  We might put them in room 204 for students to use since we need more working computers in the "new" language lab.  The 2 projectors are working fine except one is missing the vga cable that plugs into the back of the projector and the pc.  The computer in 108 that I could not get working was replaced by a computer from room 204. I installed some software the teacher needed and made sure it all ran well. I put the computer from 108 in 204.  After messing with the computer, I was able to find a suitable driver for the graphics card.  I completely forgot to think of just searching in the computer for the driver.  It wasn't the one I was looking for but it was suitable enough to get it working to at least 24 bit. 

I'm having a problem with installing the audio driver on Acer 5100's.  I have about 3 of them that need the audio driver but when I install the driver that is supposedly for it, I get a blue stop error aka "blue screen of death".  It happens on all of the Acers.  The thing I don't get though is why it installs without a problem in the first place. You'd think if the driver weren't compatible it would not install.  I really would like to get the sound working on these computers since it is crucial for room 204's language lab to be a success.  If any of you can think of something let me know.  I've tried installing all the "compatible" drivers I could find but I keep getting the same problem.  The driver is "Realtek AC'97 audio driver".  Let me know if you can come up with something.

Thanks,

Xavier
