Anti-Y2K software causes other problems ELYRIA, Ohio  Thirty-one school districts that ducked a Y2K glitch by installing new computer software are facing different problems: slow computers and trouble preparing report cards.

Using the computer to add a study period for one student's schedule can take three minutes to five minutes, Mike Gillam, principal of the 2,100-student Elyria High School, said Thursday.

It's outrageous. Our counselors are running into the same problem when they try to change a kid's schedule, Mr. Gillam said.

Lloyd Wright, executive director of the Lake Erie Education Computer Association consortium, which installed the software, said he was confident that the problems would be resolved. He blamed the problems on the newness of the software and the short time frame for trying to install it.
