More disruptive recommendations to downgrade to colorscheme basic on lab PCs despite Themeswitcher?

  1. Is this maybe what happens when Themeswitcher crashes: While the desktop background still gets changed, the Colorscheme does not get set to Basic? How to avoid the crashing FileIOException? What fileIO may a colorscheme change require?

  4. Disruption is the least of the problem: The warning comes up when computers become dangerously slow. In the past, they have become disfunctional during these episodues and needed to be power-cycled. This has resulted in loss of assignment and assessment materials.

"Server busy" error from Windows 7 speech recognition?

  1. Problem: We see this error frequently, on various LRC PCs, when logging in. clip_image001
  2. Root cause: It looks like this is a speech recognition related error on the LRC PCs. Now that I am testing speech recognition on my office PC, I am seeing this error there also when starting speech recognition (together with a slowdown – not sure what is cause and effect there).

  4. Workaround: Not auto starting Windows 7 speech recognition, but having users launch it form the desktop when needed, should alleviate this problem.
  5. Resolution: Still investigating.
