John, >>> Someone you don't know hands you a disk and you rebooted on it? <<< Yeeeesss…..I…..Did! You see I TRUSTED the Instructor (Phillip Miller) and I TRUSTED the company (Autodesk) that hired him to present this material. Since I payed $200. for the privlage you'd think they could of at least had an up to date Virus Scanner on-board before they started handing these Lab disks around…. I don't know whether to laugh or cry….I mean I still can't connect that machine to my network, load any new software updates or even back the damn thing up. I'm still waiting for "Someone" at Autodesk to get back to me regarding the "proper" Anti-Virus software that will clean this damn thing. I've tried the latest Mcaffee with a virus list dated 1-/14/94 and it won't see it…..yet I know it's there because I used the disk that we passed on to the person that had the software that spotted it. That same person also promptly dissapeared after class before any of us could get to him regarding the software he was using. He mentioned the name once during class but I never caught it as we went on with the "lesson" and as far as I know no body was able to write it down so were screwed until we can find something that can clean this or get the student list from Autodesk in Chicago to get back to this guy that has that program and purchase it so we can resolve this. I've talked to Rick West in Itasca and so far.. a week later…NOTHING! I've called him twice on this and he's still unable to get this resolved so he's trying to get to Phil to see if he's found anything. Frankly I'm beginning to wonder how many other Dealer Classes are going to have this problem. John, A while ago you mentioned that we might be able to obtain a certain item from you, is this still possible? Murph'
