This morning something weird happen to my Outlook 2007 and I’ve never encounter this before where I got stuck on this error message below

I can’t recall of doing any windows updates on the Microsoft Office suite and this just happen just overnight. I’ve check on the pst file to make sure that it does not oversize and do some system maintenance to make sure the system drive space is enough space but it does not make any good.

Manage to get some help from my favorite search engine and you just need to start the outlook with the following command

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe /resetnavpane

or you can change the shortcut properties to start with the command line every time you launch it.

Just upgraded my Nokia XM 5800 firmware yesterday as the previous version 3.1 was extremely unstable causing a lot of inconvenience when using the phone. The most problematic that I encounter is when answering any call, I just can’t hear anything from the caller said. At that time you will notice that any number you press on the virtual keypad was muted as well, so the only was to resolve this is change the profile from general to meeting then changing it back and it back to normal.

I was thinking to reset my phone and see if the problem will go away but I’m stuck on trying to reset it back to factory default where it asking for the lock code and i can’t recall nor know what is the lock code. So i try my luck on the internet and just found out that newer firmware version 40.0.005 was released. I would not aspect it free from any other bug but better than keeping this old firmware so i just give it a try. The update was just easy, you just need to have an internet access and browse to the device updates to get the update. You can refer to my previous write up here on how to upgrade the firmware.

The most noticeable thing after upgrading the firmware was the performance and responsive of the UI is much more smoother and faster plus there is few of the enhancement included like below:-

• New: Kinetic Scrolling across most of the menus.
• New: Contacts Bar where you can add upto 4 contacts.
• New: Ovi Contacts.
• New: Widgetized Shortcuts homescreen similiar to Nokia 5530.
• Download! app has now been removed. Anyways it had become redundant after the release of Ovi Store client.
• QWERTY Keyboard Automatically Rotates on the text input screens.
• Under Applications, “App Update” has now been changed to “SW Update” similiar to Nokia N97 and N97 Mini.
• Better Responsive UI.

Upgrade your phone today and wait no more….

Last sat I went to my friend place as I was getting external Flash for my E-300 CAM and we exchange some of the photography knowledge. He showing me some of his photo in his Macbook Pro and he ask me why can’t copy anything to his portable hard disk? I was wondering should be file system issue, so I ask him to show me and when the drive mounted it was only stated read-only.

Not sure if it really not support to do read-write on Mac as I was not a Mac user, but I manage to find the solution for him and thanks to Google that really useful search engine nowadays. The software that I found is NTFS-3G release by Tuxera and the installation was easy and fast.

TFS-3G is a stable read/write NTFS driver for Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, QNX, Haiku, and other operating systems. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 file systems.

I was looking ways to share 2 pc’s with a single keyboard & mouse, but not mean using the KVM switch that sharing the keyboard, mouse and monitor where still having 2 monitors. I need this because from time to time, we need to do workshop where I need to show something on the demo pc and slide on the notebook.

Currently what I do is, I VNC to the demo pc to control the keyboard & mouse movement.

Recently Nokia released the firmware version 30.0.011 on 29-06-09 and I just update my phone this morning. Not much changes that I notice on the interface or features added, below is the screenshot of the updated firmware version.

But I notice that the touch screen sensitivity does improve a lot and also the speed of application launching is much faster now. There are news that v31 will be going to launch quite soon with more features and enhancement and I would recommend to upgrade to this firmware release as i feel this release have much more improvement then previous version especially on performance and stability.
