Main Report or Narrative:

I haven't been very good about reporting this quarter.

I started back at price the Friday of the week before last.  I had to reconnect a couple of laptops to the CPSWIRELESS network.  I also continued to bash my head against the problem laptops(not literally of course).   The following Monday I worked on compliance and installing microsoft office 2007 on  those computers with windows xp.  I ran into an interesting problem which was later explained to me:  I couldn't get one of the computers in the lab to be re-named which I later found out was because the computer had been put on deep freeze.  Last Friday was very similar to last Monday.  This Monday I learned about the installation of deep freeze from Sara and how to work with it. Aside from that it was also very similar to the prior Monday and Friday.  I think its notable that most of the com pliancy issues seem to revolve around the computers being off at night.  I'm sure I must have done more than that but cannot recall what.  I guess things were pretty quiet around Price.

Today was more interesting.  Two of the computers in the lab were having trouble; one was repeating a disk check and another was complaining "heat sink not detected".  The latter was the same computer that had had that same message back in the winter and I fixed it in the same way--opening up the computer and re-attaching the heat sink--but it seems to be a more temporary fix than I would like.  The problem with the former computer was solved easily by simply exiting the disk check, but I still haven't found out why it was repeating the check.  I also helped Ms. Hjelmgren set up the palms so that her students could do internet research.  I talked to the librarian about the a video project that she will be working on and finished up the day by returning some stray laptops to the cart.

PS:  I forgot to mention the first time I posted:  I checked on it, and there was no change to problem with the deep freeze consol.
