Usual oatmeal breakfast. Student Computing Working Group meeting. Staff meeting. Helped Joel resolve a problem in Outlook 2007: whenever he tried to print a message, an error message appeared: "No printers are installed. To install a printer, point to Settings on the Windows Start Menu, click Printers and then double-click Add Printer. Follow the instructions in the wizard." The problem possibly appeared because we recently did a System Restore and sometimes everything doesn't get put back in the right place. I resolved this problem by logging in as local and then domain admin and deleting his default printer and a network printer he often prints to. Restarted the computer, logged in as domain admin, reinstalled both printers. Also troubleshot continuing problems with PharmAdMIT 2008, which seems to break (cannot print letters) when Automatic Updates is turned on, even with their registry fix. I sent a message to Luke at Academic Management in the ongoing thread about the problem. More ServInt setup. Lunch: leftovers in the work room. Dinner at home with Patrick: tacos and refried beans. Installed VMware Fusion 1.1.3 at home on the iMac, then upgraded VMware Tools from within Windows XP.
