It is common for Internet Service Providers to periodically block SMTP connections to third party hosts. The best way to correct this solution is to use a port other than port 25 that requires authentication.
Some users may experience issues while trying to print web pages using Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Rather than producing the web pages content in the print out, all that shows is the path to the temporary Internet file containing the content to be printed:
file://c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Temp\Low\xxxxxxx.htm
This appears to be a complication with Internet Explorer’s Protected Mode (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250462%28VS.85%29.aspx). Even though the user has full permissions to modify the files and folders in the Temp directory, the Protected Mode prevents the “Low” directory from being created. You can fix the problem by running the following commands at the command prompt (cmd.exe):
Restart Internet Explorer and you should now be able to print successfully.

In previous versions of Microsoft Office MLK kits, OEM computer builders were able to purchase installation discs. At the time this post was published, Microsoft did not have those discs available for Office 2010 and most computer manufacturers were not distributing computers with Office 2010 pre-installed.
If you are an OEM or an IT professional that routinely uses MLK licenses for your customers, you can use the key from your MLK card and download the software media by using the links on this page:

If you do not have a key card to upgrade to Office 2010 Professional, they can be purchased from vendors like Amazon.com for much cheaper than retail stores:
JungleDisk is a WebDAV file sharing service running on the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). It appears when users are using Office 2003 SP3 on a Vista Business SP1 based system, they may not be able to open Microsoft Word and Excel files. The users experience an error similar to:
Could not open ‘http://2667/somebucket/some file.doc’
The JungleDisk Support site (KBID#: 300065) indicates installing the Windows Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306) and rebooting will fix the problem. Unfortunately the reported fix does not appear to work for numerous users. Additionally, connecting to the JungleDisk “bucket” using the naive Windows WebDAV client does not allow saving due to the “read-only” bug.
We discovered the easiest way to work around the Vista/Office 2003 WebDAV limitations was to use a substitute drive. Once the JungleDisk client loads and you can access the JungleDisk network drives, the following command can be use to connect:
[sourcecode]subst NewDriveLetter: JungleDiskDriveLetter:\[/sourcecode]
For example, if the JungleDisk drive letter is “J:\”, you will run the following command to access the share:
[sourcecode]subst k: j:\[/sourcecode]
You should then be able to open files from and save files to the “k:” drive directly.
When your system reboots, you will need to run the subst command again. For our users, we have created a batch file that deletes the virtual drive (subst k: /d) then re-creates it (subst k: j:\). After the user’s system has completely loaded, they double-click on the batch files to create accessible virtual drives.
Incidentally, upgrading to Office 2007 on Vista or running Office 2003 from Windows XP does not appear to have any issues.
Most top search engines now offer “local listings” in their search results. The local listings act in a manner similar to an online Yellow Pages for people searching for a product or service in a particular area. To see the results of a search, go to a top search engine and type in your business type and the city your business is located. For example, a search of “cameras, Santa Monica, CA” on http://local.google.com produced the results here.
The great thing about a local listing, is they are free, people can review your business, and it will help connect you with people in your area. We would highly recommend having your business listed in the following search engines local listings since it is FREE:
Google Maps
Yahoo! Local
Microsoft Live Search Maps
Once your business has been accepted and listed, invite friends, colleagues, and clients to write positive reviews and testimonials about your business.
If you can’t open your Personal Folders file (.pst) or your Offline Folder file (.ost), or you suspect that your .pst or .ost data file is corrupted, you can use the Inbox Repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file. The Inbox Repair tool scans only the .pst or .ost file, not your mailbox on the server running Microsoft Exchange. The tool determines whether the file structure is intact. If it is not intact, the Inbox Repair tool resets your file structure and rebuilds the headers.
The Inbox Repair tool works on both the Microsoft Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders File (.pst) and the Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst) data files in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
Scanpst.exe is installed when you install Outlook. It is located at:
drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12.
OST files can be scanned using drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\Scanost.exe.
