Re: classmate setup windows problem and labview question

After reimaging the Classmate...
(Did you apply the fix to the reimaging stick before using it? description/fix)
  • It does not have LabVIEW installed. You must do that yourself if you want it.
  • It does not automatically login to the Driver account. You can also choose to set that yourself.
  • The extra account can be deleted
  • The Driver Station Update does need to be run
  • Utilities is only useful if you also put LabVIEW (or one of the other programming environments)on the Classmate
Offhand I'd recommend installing everything on the Classmate, even if you don't plan to use it for development. That way it can at least act as an emergency backup at competition for your regular programming laptop.

When you boot up the first few times, have the Classmate hooked to the Internet and set the IP to use DHCP. Remember, running the Driver Station software at any time will reset your Classmate IP to the private FRC network.
That'll allow Windows to download all current updates. It usually finishes update installations on the next reboot.
Our Classmate is still applying Windows updates every time we shut it down...
