on my own Vista installation, but I haven't tried with a department<br>

The Vista image is appalling and our staff are jacking up, blaming the<br>
technology and rather than its implementation. A shame really because I've<br>
come to like Vista - MS have finally "discovered" a sensible folder<br>
architecture. Oh, wait, Unix has been doing the
/users/<name>/<folders><br>
thingy for about 30+ years; Mac since 1984; OS/2 since 1989 and Linux since<br>
1993! Windows - back to the future!<br>

Had the same problem with vista. You need to change permissions of the<br>
markbook folders so that users have modify rights ...... Thank you who<br>
ever set up the Vista image in the department.<br>

Really sorry if this has been discussed previously but this problem just<br>
appeared for us. Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with<br>
getting markbook to update on Vista machines? Vista users are getting a<br>
"Path Access" error.<br>
Any advice would be much appreciated,<br>
