Learner Voice Update - Reimaging of Computers in R016

In January Graphics students identified the following in their learner voice:

'Faster Computers'

Our response in January: Due to budget constraints unfortunately we have what we have. However I will check all computers and make sure they are running at a reasonable speed as well as general checks like the USB ports working etc. I will update you on the progress of this.

 

Update:

On Tuesday 18th March all computers in R106 were reimaged, this means they have been wiped and software has been freshly installed.  Please be aware that on the new image photoshop does not appear in TRC applications as before as this slowed the machines down.  It should now appear on the desktop or within programs from the start menu.

 

The computers with the broken USB ports do have working USBs at the back, so we will be receiving some USB extensions shortly.

Thank you to computer services for auctioning this so quickly and If you have any further problems with computers in R016 could you please let me know via email and include the barcode number which is on the base unit of the machine.

Thanks!
