Hi All,
Company policy is to lock everything down to a degree where it's next to impossible to do anything. So to use some tools we use on a regular basis (which were written in Delphi using stone tablets, back in the day!) we need to Admins on the PC's, which is at odds with IT security! So I am trying to run (I have managed to install it!) one of the Applications on a Windows 8 Laptop... I know I managed to get it running at one stage but how????

I believe Win8 also had compatability mode for older programs. Right-click on the executable and go into properties, or something, and chose compatibility mode and set to Win XP or earlier??? (or something like that - I don't remember Win8's exact steps).
|

|

Tried that, I think I did that the first time I installed it (and it worked!) 
|
|

|

You probably did, but just in case, did you try running the (installed?) program as Administrator after the installation? (And running the installation as administrator?)

Try installing it in your users' documents folder. Unless it mucks with the registry, that may work.

That'd be my guess. It's probably a permissions thing, so install it anywhere except the Program Files directories (or the Windows directory, of course).

I may be confusing it with an UAC-issue, so it may not work. Guess we'll hear it in a bit.

And that would be a no! But I 'don't need the app on that Laptop' famous last words...

Spawn tickets to ICT each time something can not be done. Their policy, their responsibility. Your due diligence ends at the very moment you open a ticket, if deliveries are missed it can't be your fault.
After a handful of missed deliveries things will change.

Well that's happened and no it's got tighter as we are less secure...

True dat.
And if the perception is that you're trying to work around their policies, then the tables will be turned against you.
And if there's nothing else you can do while things get fixed, track the time you're spending waiting for someone else to do their jobs. Email summaries.

Pretty much all you said. Been there...

Please post where you work so that others can avoid being hired on. Eventually someone will go postal.

The Heavy - Put It On The Line[^]
Last weekend, I had a gaming weekend with some friends.
Three TV's and three Playstations and Borderlands 3 for the three of us!
The intro movie featured some cool music, just like Borderlands 2, again by The Heavy.
So that's a great intro of the game weekend and a cool outro of the work week by making it SOTW 
I can really recommend the games as well, if you're into hilarious shooters with rather dark humor

Nice! Here's something back at you. I can't believe I didn't catch this greatness before this week! Banana-Na-Na. Never heard of Technohead before, and their 'I Wanna Be A Hippy' is also off the charts!

If you know anything about pinewood derby races...
I've got a laptop that is connected to a video projector. I have an adapter that converts the laptop's HDMI signal to the projector's VGA signal. The laptop is collecting data from the race track and displaying it on the laptop's monitor, which is then mirrored on the video projector. All that works fine.
What I also want to do is put a video camera (e.g., GoPro) in place to show the cars as they come across the finish line. How can I get the output of the video camera to the laptop (so that it can also be shown on the video projector)?
Thanks.

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) would likely fit nicely. It's aimed at streaming, but it supports (multiple)camera overlays over a main screen. I've used it and it worked well.

Didn't know about the pinewood derby races.
kinda cool.
Don't know about the technical stuff you're asking; sorry.
I'd rather be phishing!
