Error : Windows can not connect to the printer

You can request the hotfix if you really want to, or even wait for Windows 7 SP1, but the “workaround” is so simple that there’s no point in trying the other options:

  1. Go to the C:\Windows\system32\ directory and find the file “mscms.dll
  2. Copy that file to:
    • C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\ if you are using 64-bit Windows 7
    • C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\ if you are using 32-bit Windows 7

That’s it.

Now try to connect to the remote printer again. This time, it will work! :)

OLE error with RSS Feeds in Outlook 2007

Error : Task 'RSS Feeds' reported error (0xBDD40155) : 'Outlook cannot download the RSS content from http://neverblog.net/feed/ because of a problem connecting to the server. An OLE registration error occurred. The program is not correctly installed. Run Setup again for the program.'

Googling this error resulted in a bunch of useless information, and one particularly useless Microsoft Office Knowledge Base article which indicates that the problem is a ‘known error’ with Outlook 2007. Microsoft claims the error is “a known limitation with a very small set of RSS Feeds when you have Internet Explorer 6 installed on your machine. Upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 to continue syncing these feeds.”

Ok, so that’s a really informative answer. Microsoft understands there’s a problem, but they don’t seem to care that much, except to take it as a wonderful opportunity to force more people to upgrade to their terrible new browser (it’s got TABS!!! Yay!!!). I just finished installing IE7, and now I’m getting the following message when I re-open Outlook 2007.

One Box will be come and press Yes or ok.

It still doesn’t work with the RSS feeds, though. Windows is telling me I need to reboot, so I’m going to try that. This seems like a DLL registration error or the like, and it’s not the first time Microsoft has had problems integrating things into Outlook. After the reboot, the RSS feeds do work, but at what cost!!!

So I guess the moral of the story is, if you get the OLE error, bite the bullet and install IE7. Or, if you don’t need the RSS functionality, you can just remove that folder.

0xBDD40155, cannot sync RSS feed, internet explorer 7, microsoft outlook 2007, OLE, ole error outlook 2007, outlook 2007, RSS, rss feed, rss feed error in outlook, windows vista, windows xp

Why does computer blue screen?

1. New Hardware - while the hardware can sometimes be bad, the real culprit is typically outdated, or just buggy, drivers. If you've just installed new hardware then it's likely to be related to the problem. Make sure you're running the latest drivers for that device that you can, and check with the manufacturer's support site for specific information. Conversely, if you've just updated drivers, that would also be something to be suspicious of.

2. New Software - it's rare these days, but occasionally software can cause this as well. If you've just installed new software then I'd be very tempted to uninstall it and see if the problem goes away. I'd also make sure that your Windows is as up-to-date as possible by visiting Windows Update.

3. Viruses and Malware - Since they're written specifically to cause damage, this is occasionally the result. Make sure your virus and spyware scanning software is up to date with the latest databases and scan regularly.

4. Old or Broken Hardware - If you're positive nothing's changed and you've been using your system like always and these problems just started happening without any real cause, then you do need to consider that you're experiencing a hardware malfunction. One of the most common is a stuck or broken power supply fan which is now allowing your computer to overheat. However, everything from memory to your add-on cards to the motherboard itself could all cause issues here. It may be time for some hardware diagnostic work.

Tips to recover scratched CD's

1. Spread a cloth on a flat surface and place the CD on it.
2. Then, hold the disc with one hand, use the other to wipe the polish into the affected area with a soft cloth.
3. Wait for it to dry and buff using short, brisk strokes along the scratch, not across it.
4. A cloth sold to wipe spectacles or camera lenses will work super m8's.
5. When you can no longersee the scratch,, wash the disc with water and let it dry before playing. Intersting isn't it?

The network location cannot be reached.


  1. Run Registry Editor (regedit.exe), and check the following registry key:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]
  2. Verify that the "TransportBindName" and "SMBDeviceEnabled" values exists. If either of them do not exist, create them.
    If either one is incorrect, change the data. The values should be like this:

    Name: TransportBindName
    Type: REGSZ
    Value: \Device\
  3. Under the same registry key, if you find the "SMBDeviceEnabled" value exists and is 0, it means Direct Hosting is disabled. Change the value to 1 to turn it on.

    Name: SMBDeviceEnabled
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 1
  4. Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer.
