HP Digital Sender 9100c – Hard Disc error code 00000004 Hard disc has failed

If you receive this error on your HP Sender 9100c then your hard disk has either died or is on the way out , to resolve this issue you can either get the part already imaged with the HP OS on there : HP Part Number – C1316-69006 which can cost anywhere up to £200 or thanks to Bill ! You can now download the image files from here and load it onto a spare 40gig – 120 Gig IDE Hard Disk or one can be bought for around £60 In aid of his bandwidth , I have also hosted the images here : http://pariswells.com/upload/9100C_Image_1.rar and
http://pariswells.com/upload/9100C_Image_2.rar Image 1 will Extract to a 3 Gig .img File and Image 2 will extract to an 40 Gigabyte Image File. You will need to download WinRar for this Then download Self Image Here http://www.pariswells.com/upload/SelfImage-121.zip

Selfimage is pretty self-explanatory to use.
	1. Connect the HDD to an IDE port on your computer or through a USB to IDE Converter
	2. Start SelfImage.
	3. Under 'Input' select 'File' then point to the location of the image.
	4. Under 'Output' select 'Drive' then point to the drive letter of HDD.
	5. Click 'OK'. Thats about it. Once SelfImage is finished, remove the new HDD and put it in your 9100C. 

You may have to set the factory defaults on the DS on first boot. 

Shift+Alt+green key - Tools - "Factory defaults" - Ok

Make sure the hard disk has the right jumper setting on ( To Single/Master) otherwise it will display "Hard Disk Error FFFFFFF"

Outlook 2007 Resizing Images for Email Singatures

Recently I was trying to insert a new image in an email signature for a user , however when I inserted the image it reduced the width which changed the resolution of the signature to an unreadable format. This is due to the fact outlook tries to resize the image to the width of an A4 page. There is no where in outlook 2007 to change the size of the image. To change the image back to its original 2 1) Find the sinatures HTM File , this will be in C:\Documents and Settings\”Your Username”\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures 2) Open ( The name of the signature).htm with Microsoft Word 3) Right click on the image , click format , select Picture tab and choose Reset Picture 4) Save the file an this will change the signature back to its original size!

When right clicking on a spelling mistake in Outlook , it tries to change the signature

When creating an email in Microsoft Outlook you attempt to correct a misspelled word, however when you right click on the word, the signature menu opens instead of the spelling menu. This happens when you have a default signature at the bottom of your email , and is due to the fact outlook thinks your whole message is the signature due to : A) Deleted the first two blank lines in the email to the point where the first character in your email is the first character in your signature. or B) Hit Delete too much or used Backspace to the point where the first character of your signature is directly following the last character of your email. The best way round this is to not do the above or add “–” to the start of every signature!

Windows 7 Tape Drive Support

Windows 7 have removed Removable Storage Manager (RSM) service from Windows 7 Microsoft say “You can use RSM to manage online libraries (such as changers and jukeboxes) and track removable tapes and disks.” This means Windows NT Backup for Windows 7 and Server 2008 OS no longer included intergrated support for Tape Drives The way around this for Server 2008 is to install Nortons Backup Exec For Windows 7 , It seems the only tool I found that support this is http://www.uraniumbackup.com/index-en.aspx and http://www.backupassist.com/index.html but so far no free software

Outlook Express Spell Checker only in French

I had just upgrade a Users computer to Office 2007 , They wanted to use Microsoft Outlook for their work email and utilise Outlook Express for their peronsal email. However upon opening the spell checker it had been changed to the French dictionary. I also noticed that I was unable to change it back to the English dictionary.

Turns out this is noted fault from Microsoft! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Their solution is to download and install Windows Vista / Windows 7 New Version of Outlook Express = “Windows Live Mail”

I know how users get attached to their software , and the way it looks and feels! So luckily I found a solution so the user could still utilise Outlook Express Spell Checker

This is to Download and Install : http://www.snapfiles.com/downloads/dlspelloe.html ( Which is Spell Checker For OE 2.1 )

Just to note , this will only restore English ( United States ) Language
