This week I spent a lot of time in room 110.  I installed several software programs and also networked the printers.  One computer also had its sound drivers missing, so I reinstalled those from the dell website.  That room still needs a bit of help just reorganizing its table space (headphones, speakers, etc).  I will try to get to that eventually.

Switched the printer over to the other machine in room 002.  The printer remains networked.

Mr. Schwartz (201) and others (208) are having trouble accessing online content from the HRW website.  Basically, these appear to be online versions of textbooks.  I spoke at length with the HRW tech support team and received the following instructions:

How to Solve Flash Errors

In the Control Panel, Select Add &amp; Remove Programs.
Uninstall Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX.
Uninstall Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin.

Then go to the following URL:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp9

Click the following link to download the Flash Player 9 package:
"Download the Adobe Flash Player 9 Update for Windows and Macintosh"

Extract the files from the flash_player_update6_flash9.zip file.
Open the flash_player_update6_flash9 folder.
Open the Players folder.
Open the Release folder.
Run "Install Flash Player 9 ActiveX".
Run "Install Flash Player 9 Plugin".

Reboot the machine.
You should now be able to access the Flash content on the website.

It seemes to have worked for Mr. Schwartz but there are other rooms that still need help when I return.

All in all, a good, productive week at Harte!!!
