Webpages viewed with Firefox may give you this error:
“The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.”

This seems to be a bug in Firefox. It may or may not be resolved in a fix in future.

Outlook 2007 and Vista problems

A friend recently asked me to help with a problem with importing a outlook 2003 pst file to his new PC with Vista and Outlook 2007.
He kept getting “File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file Outlook.pst.”

What you need to do is set full control file security rights to current user explicitly. Group membership (for example: local admins) is not enough.
If you do not do this outlook and scanpst.exe sees the file as read only (will not show as read only in file properties).

Outlook then prompted that the file was corrupt.
Used scanpst.exe (an util bundled with office) from office folder to try to repair file.

Scanpst.exe took about 30+ minutes to run, the file was then ok.

Hope this info is helpful, let me now :)

cannot set IE security zone sites via GPO

WARNING:

The solution to this problem requires you to edit the registry,
always make backup before implementing,
and if you do not know what you’re doing, don’t do it !

If you’re having problems setting IE security zone sites via GPO, this registry key may be the cause:
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains”

I’ve found that if anything is registered under this key, whatever you set in GPO will not be applied.

Solution: Delete the “Domains” key and all subkeys with the following vb script

On Error Resume Next

Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001

strComputer = “.”
strKeyPath = “Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains”

Set objRegistry = GetObject(“winmgmts:\\” & _
strComputer & “\root\default:StdRegProv”)

DeleteSubkeys HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeypath

Sub DeleteSubkeys(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath)
objRegistry.EnumKey HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, arrSubkeys

If IsArray(arrSubkeys) Then
For Each strSubkey In arrSubkeys
DeleteSubkeys HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath & “\” & strSubkey
Next
End If

objRegistry.DeleteKey HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath
End Sub

Thanks to The Microsoft Scripting Guys for example script

My favorite Christopher Morley quotes:

“My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.”

“A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.”

“In every man’s heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.”

“There is only one rule for being a good talker – learn to listen.”

“There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.”
