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

On Tuesday I worked on Ms. Alexander's computer in 120.  It was restarting over and over again without booting properly.  I googled it and actually found a website describing a solution to my exact problem.  I won't go into the details - it involved creating a boot disk with a special program on it.  Unfortunately, it didn't work! I then tried some other things, and eventually managed to get the computer completely stuck.  It's going to need a ghosting.  Unfortunately, I couldn't immediately find the ghosting software.  So, on Thursday I returned to a challenge that I had been working on before: getting Vista SP1 on Mr. Laws' new laptop.  That might not seem like a challenge, but SP1 has a number of arduous driver dependencies that have to be just perfect before the SP1 update will appear in Windows Update.  I finally figured out which drivers needed to be updated just in time to go home.  So, I returned on Friday and updated the soundcard and fingerprint scanner drivers, and gloriously, the SP1 update appeared.  This all took a really long time (the soundcard driver update was annoying), and then I had to wait for SP1 to install.  That should be all that the laptop needs, so I shouldn't need to work on it anymore.  I also helped a teacher (I forget her name, she's in 207) to get her computer up and running.  The keyboard was a little touchy.  I found the ghosting software (thank you, Emily, it had indeed slipped out of the binder into the drawer), but there wasn't enough time left in the day to ghost Ms. Alexander's computer.  So, I wandered upstairs and got into a conversation with Mr. Hinton in 220.  His kids are starting to learn about the Constitution, so I offered to look for some online resources about it to keep the kids interested.  If anyone else has ideas on that, it would be helpful.
