Hi, sorry not to reply again yesterday - can only sit at that computer while having a break and my time had run out!
Due to the way the shifts have fallen I'm not in until Thursday :eheh: :D :crazy: :yobrother: :bravo: :yahoo: so I'll have a look at the operating system then, however I'm fairly sure there isn't the software (e.g. Paint) to do a print-screen. I could do an 'artist's impression'?

Paint comes with Windows itself :/ Failing that, print screen and paste into Word...

From memory they might have disabled it. They do have Word however the firewall / set-up may not allow me to upload a file - this sounds pessimistic, I'm just 'managing your expectations'.
Did I mention I'm not in until Thursday :eheh:

If I told you I'd have to kill you :ph34r:
No I work for the NHS, which is the UK's health provider and one of the biggest organisations in the world. They are ultra-cautious when it comes to IT, specifically networking stuff because of the risks of confidentiality and just plain hacking. We're not allowed to install any software or browse Facebook (and probably many other sites). Every time ?shock / flash? is upgraded it takes about 2 months for the PCs to be updated so iPlayer (British TV replay site) doesn't work, which is a pain when on nights.
So like I say the problems on that computer are likely just specific to that computer due to its unique circumstances.

Is that why it took months to get Conflickr infected machines cleaned up? ;)

Is that also why there was a modestly high profile piece at the time reporting that Windows 95 was still in use in certain places - even in 2009-10?

LOL no they're not that bad (although my uni were still using IE6 when I left in 2008).

Still, I'm suspicious about all of this...
Strangest thing just happened to me. I wrote the post above. Then click Submit. I got redirected to the page with a /new/#new anchor (just "/15/"), and half of the post was missing! I was saying, after this, something along the lines of:
"Maybe Microsoft issued a patch for IE8 that fixes the problem, and a stock XP/2003 doesn't have the fix?"
:edit: It worked, but JS seems to be broken. An issue with the 'subject' variable in the QuickModify object?!
