Tough couple of days at work

Wow. Ive had to deal with a few German PCs at my work as well so I know the pain of having to find Windows settings in another language and working on a German keyboard.

This machine doesn't happen to be connected to an industrial ct scanner or something like that?

I can’t say the name. But things I was dealing with were:

After the software load that took 8 hours, the system inverts the caps lock function on the keyboard. Nothing tells you this. And when you type in logins, it blanks the characters so you don’t know it. Just keep getting “invalid password!”

When I figured that out and got past the” three-strikes and you’re locked out”feature ( which is also new, and not informed about in the manual) ...

... it converts the keyboard character mapping to a German-language character set! Which also hoses up your password attempts. Figured that one out.

Finally get logged in ...

... and everything is in German. Are you freaking kidding me??? I’m fluent enough in Windows to eventually find my way to regional settings and languages, and set it for English ...

.... and security watchdog decided it is being hacked because this is all taking too long and it locks itself out and this time it’s not fooling around, I was back to square one: reload software!

This time I went fast enough because now I knew what to expect, got it all configured and happy ...

... only now it won’t let anyone use it who is registered on another system, because it assumes it is being hacked because obviously, no Doctor would ever work in more than one surgery room, and locks itself out, hello, square one, AGAIN!

It’s all been stuff like that.
