Did those lab PC's happen to have McAfee installed?

No, but I believe some of our older computers do.... Not looking forward to Monday so far....

What happened was one of our techs had to reimage the computers in that lab, but he accidentally used the wrong image file (from a completely different model of computer). As soon as the computers booted they would go BSOD.

It wasn't really a big deal, as all we had to do was image those computers a second time with the correct file, but it still put that lab out of commission for the day :p

Also, a few shots of where I work, the tech support office, and one of our computer labs:

Hey Joey, would you mind emailing me the full res shot of the blue screen lab? That would make an awesome wallpaper at work.

Not usually this clean.. I know I know, it looks messy, but.. believe me.. it's clean for me.

You can see my sketchbook for writing down ideas, my notebook for writing down even more ideas ... etc.. my cat on my chair, my hoodie that gives me my net nickname (Minifig)..

Even with the bigger desk, I'd prefer that station tbh :p

First time posting my Workstation here.

Workstation.jpg

Description From left to right

Monitors: 20" Dell - 30" Dell - 20" Dell

On Desk: Harmony One remote, iPod Touch 32GB (Almost hidden by the Remote) Logitech Keyboard, Razer Mouse, 17" MacBook Pro (2009 model), Lens Cap.

Next to desk in the bottom left corner is My main tower in a Lian-Li PC-X2000 Case its quite tall which is why it is not underneath the desk and the power switch is on the top which just makes things worse! (Specs in signature)

Just got these Desk Arms for all 3 of my Monitors, I actually bought them due to a review here on Neowin in the Members area.

Those arms are nice, any images of the fitment to the desk? as I have a 20year old lipped top Oak desk, and pondering if they would fit?

This is the original review I found here, it may give you an idea. Basically it attaches to the desk like a vice would, the vice will adjust to fit a desk that is the thickness of .63" to 2.6" so that's quite a broad fitting my desk is about .80" thick and it fits quite well and is very sturdy even with the 30" Monitor fitted which is almost the full capacity of the arms weight and it is still ridged and strong.

Highly recommended takes less then a minute to get the arm put together and attached to the desk then another minute or 2 to get the monitor on it, standard 80x80 and 100x100 Vesa Mounting holes

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
    • It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
