I have to run training courses and maintain the computers in a training room. They are stand alone systems running on XP and students are using Office 2003 and some training programs.
I have had (and continue to have) major problems with these PCs – they are self built (by a shop that went out of business), do not have Intel chips and they show Mercury on bootup. They seem identical but who really knows…..
The latest problem is the floppy drives – a disk formatted on one machine is not recognised by any of the others. I spend half my training time running around with a flash stick taking off small files. Buying new machines is not an option.
Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do?
Thanks
