There's Always Something!

Last week, we upgraded all the office PCs to Windows 7 and Office 2010. Most were running XP and Office 2003. To say things went really well would be an understatement. My experience of mass upgrades is that there are usually a whole host of things that crawl out of the woodwork when you do them, however well you plan.

A couple of nasty little problems cropped up: a PC that attached to the network, but steadfastly refused to see the internet (Apples fault); and a very large mailbox that wouldn't download to a PC (fixed by running it in online mode). But otherwise I was really happy.

UNTIL: Monday morning one PC can't get into the finance system. We installed the finance software on two others, and they worked like a dream. This one refuses point blank. Actually its the user account because it all works when signed in as administrator. No one seems to be able to tell me why!
