I received a comment on a previous post about the same letter with the name of “Lexington Duke.” (See other posts here.) Please comment if you received one and help me fill in missing information. Scan it and send it to me if you can. It tells you that you have qualified for an award […]
My Outlook 2000 would not stay open today! I would open it, but it would immediately disappear and close. Each time I open it, it keeps closing. I found the reason, which is iTunes 10, and the solution which did work for me: iTunes will sync with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, or Microsoft […]
I received a comment on a previous post about the same letter with the name of “Strickland Penn.” (See other posts here.) Please comment if you received one. It tells you that you have qualified for an award of 2 roundtrip airline tickets. It says to call 1-866-951-5595. It looks like it was actually signed […]
I was working with a client that couldn’t install iTunes 10 today on Vista Home Premium SP2. It would pop up a message early in the install process saying, “Windows installer has set policies to prevent installation.” I visited this blog, which had good advice, but none of it worked. However, in the comments of […]

I have a customer that called because his Dell Optiplex 745 with Windows XP SP3 computer would automatically reboot after the Windows splash screen, but before the Windows login screen appeared. The […]
I received an HP TouchSmart IQ500 to fix, but I could not figure out how to open the stand! The slider was on the unlocked padlock, but it wouldn’t move. I searched online and read about forcing the switch, (which it popped off) but it just didn’t loosen it up. I would try to open […]
[UPDATE 9/19/10: I have included more information in a post about another letter here.] (See other posts here.) Today I received a letter from Hamilton Gates telling me that I have qualified for an award of 2 roundtrip airline tickets. It says to call 866-391-0391. It looks like it was actually signed by Brittany Dale, […]
I had a client that had Adobe Reader 9 installed (by the company automatically) and he suddenly lost the ability to print more than the first page of a PDF file. Other programs printed fine. It is probably related to the copier’s printer driver being PostScript. I read of some users updating drivers to fix […]
[UPDATE 9/19/10: I have included more information in a post about another letter here.] (See other posts here.) Today I received a letter from Madden Hall telling me that I have qualified for an award of 2 roundtrip airline tickets. It says to call 866-390-9070. It looks like it was actually signed by Jacqueline Ball, […]
