Donald thinks it should scan to the computer as well as print from the computer wirelessly.

[Laura]

Hmmm. Ok then. Will have to go have another think in that case!

[Laura]

Oh, yes, and Thanks!!!!

[LAT]

I know mine should too but I usually find it is easier to move my laptop and connect it to the printer when scanning.

[Laura]

Does anyone know why my webcam image is upside down, and how I turn it the correct way up? It's part of the laptop, I can't find any way to click on it to change it's settings in any menu that I know of. Help!

[Bunnylump]

I don't know myself but there is these are replies on the internet for the same problem...

The image in your Webcam Uploader window might be inverted because of your camera setting.

To change the setting:

Click Messenger and select "My Webcam."
In the window that opens, click the "File" menu, select "Preferences," and choose "Webcam".

Click the "Camera Settings" button.
There is usually a checkbox for "Invert Image" or "Mirror Vertical." Un-check this box if one exists.

and

1. See if your ASUS webcam software has an option to flip/adjust camera frames (e.g. options => video Capture Filter > flip the image)

2. Download and reinstall with latest windows 7-compatible driver

[Laura]

Right. I'm trying the downloading new driver thingy. I do find it interesting that your search found stuff about Asus, cos that's what this is! Obviously not just me that has had a problem with it!!!

[Laura]

It can't download anything new - I'm on the newest there is. There is literally NOTHING clickable. I can get a screen on skype that will let me adjust brightness etc. but the next page (which has pan, tilt and roll options) is all in grey and nothing will click.

[Bunnylump]

That's really annoying, isn't it? Sorry, I can't help. I hate to say it, but what we need is one of those men...

[clvrlad]

you allways say that

which laptop is it?

did it work ok before?

[Laura]

It's an Asus A52F. It worked fine. Then it got a virus and had to be restored to factory settings. Now I'm upside down on Skype!

[Bunnylump]

you allways say that

Well, you men must have SOME uses...

[clvrlad]

It's an Asus A52F. It worked fine. Then it got a virus and had to be restored to factory settings. Now I'm upside down on Skype!

is it juist skype your upside down on?

[Laura]

I've never used it for anything else, and can't find it on my computer menu to get it to work independently!

[clvrlad]

looking at their website its a common problem with asus laptops

you said you've got the most recent driver?
how did you find it? they have several the "right" on is identified using your hardware PID number

try uninstalling it and installing the previous one instead

[Redfraggle]

Can any of you tell me if a T.Dip.It would get me a teacher number? Im seriously considering changing my job and I was talking to someone the other day who told me it does - but she was only 90% sure. I already have the Dip.It qualification which has a teaching element.

[gill216]

Can't answer your question but I have a teacher here right now who said you might mean PGCE if you want to teach.

[Redfraggle]

Yeah this is an alternative to a PGCE - Im sitting here googling but can't find anything. Im going to ring about PGCE on Monday through the OU.

[Bunnylump]

Sorry, I've never heard of that. Most of the teachers here either do a PGCE or one of those graduate teaching programmes where you train on the job at a school for a year plus do assignments at the same time.

K did PGCE, and I will warn you, it's REALLY tough. Everyone I know who has done that route found it really exhausting and challenging.

[Bunnylump]

Can anyone tell me what the music is in the BBC advert for A History of Art in Three Colours? I really like it and can't identify it.
