How do I go about doing this? Since I obviously can't run SAI on my school without administrator permissions, I looked a bit more and found apparently the cause of the issue is that SAI runs a scan at start up to determine if existing versions have been installed.

Preventing this scan will cause it to exit (I think due to failed checksum), so I was wondering about two alternatives:
1. redirect the scan to another one of my drives, rather than the computer's internal drive, or
2. modify the scan and force it to return a 'neutral' checksum that says everything is all right, no previous versions were installed, etc.

Does anyone know of any other methods I can allow it to run without having to do the scan? Alternatively, how do I go about changing the way in which SAI's automatic scan function works?

    Tell me more, what are these video out bells and whistles of which you speak and how do they work? What rand would you recommend? Average price?

    Video out. You know, like VGA and HDMI ports so you can plug in an external monitor. Netbooks generally have very tiny, low-resolution screens after all.

    As for recommendations, I can't really say. Back when I bought mine a long time ago, the Asus eee pc was the top dog, don't know if the market has changed since then. Price range is generally between 150 and 500 US dollars depending on model, but only you know what features you would need, so I have no idea if the super-cheap versions are good enough.

    Still, I guarantee my "buy a computer you don't mind taking to school" plan is the one with the highest chances of success.
