Recently after upgrading my Compaq 6715p Laptop to Windows 7 from Windows XP, everytime my laptop came out of Standby or Hibernation it locked up, and the only way to unlock it was to hard reset the laptop with its power button. My Laptop has a X1200 Radeon Mobile Graphics Card. After trying to upgrade to the latest driver version , I found I couldn’t find the drivers for the X1200 on the ATI’s Site
After some research I found that you can download and install the x1050 and the x1300 Drivers for this card. Upon installing these it fixed the issue

Recently I had an issue joining a computer. After installing LogMeIn on the computer , it started fine but showed the error
“LogMeIn – Enabled but Offline”
After going into Options and Connections and Events in LogMeIn I was greated by the error
“Failed to connect to web gateway: The data is invalid. (13)
77.242.193.141:80/websvr – SSL Cert Error ……………..
Connecting to the web gateway control.app104.logmein.com:80…”
Resolution
The time and date was wrong and this means that LogMeIn client could not authentication via SSL with the LogMeIn Server. I changed the Data and time and this resolved the issues

The default Data paths have changed at Sage 2008 and 2009 . These are now set depending on the OS.
NB – In pre Sage 2008 versions the Company file was in the Sage Program Folder. The actual data would be in a subfolder of the Program Folder i.e. C:\Program Files\Sage 2007\Accounts
Windows Vista and Windows 7 – Data is in ->
C:\ProgramData\Sage\Accounts\2008
Windows XP – Data is in ->
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sage\Accounts\2008\
Sage uses a COMPANY file with no file extensions to reference data paths for your sage folders
E.G.
S:\COMPANY.001
To Reset Sage and to get it start the open company wizard , close sage and delete this COMPANY file

When a Small Business User logs into Remote Web Workplace on a Small Business Server 2008, when trying to login to one of the computers he might be greated with
“No computers are available” in Remote Web Wokplace for SBS 2008
This is down the the fact the user does not have any computers setup for him/her on the server. To setup some computers.
Login to the server , open the Windows SBS Console , Open the Users and Groups tab. Open up the user in question
Go to the computer Tab , then tick the box “Can Remotely access this computer” on the computers you wish to make available to the user. Setting the user as Local Administrator on these computers through this screen will automatically tick the “Can Remotely access this computer” box and grey it out.

It seems if you do not have a title value for hyperlink with Lightbox , Internet Explorer displays a null value for the default description
Lightbox has released an update and the changelog fixes this error
However if you are using a third party tool, where you cannot modify the main lightbox files , you can resolve this issue by setting the title flag yourself in the hyperlink to nothing e.g.
<a href=’picture.gif’ rel=’lightbox’ title=”"><img src=”thumbpic.gif” border=”0″></a><br><a class=’linkHiRes’ href=’pricingpage.gif’></a>

When setting up a single user blackberry, I would recommend using the Blackberry Internet Services rather than say Blackberry Desktop Redirector as Internet Services has guaranteed uptime and easier to administer.
Sometimes after you setup your blackberry on Internet Services after registering your phone on the Vodafone Network by insert your sim card and powering the device on , email still does not load on the blackberry.
This is usally down to your service provider not enabling your account for Blackberry or GPRS. To test this make sure your GPRS symbol is in capitals instead of Lowercase. Lowercase gprs and edge means that the phone can see the gprs or edge network , but cannot authenticate to it ( Usually due to your provider blocking it)
Another way to tell if your phone has a data connection is to it type *#105# from your Blackberry handset then press the call button. This should return something like this
CS: 447785013100 VF-Usk
Registered 04-Oct-2008 19:01:40
PS: 447785012610 SGSNMS1
Registered 06-Oct-2008 18:39:25
CS Stands for Circuit Switched ( What your telephone calls use )
PS Stand for Packet Switched ( What your internet uses )
Make sure your phone has a value for both of these
WIRELESS CONNECTION STATUS INDICATORS:
EDGE: You can use the phone, send/receive email, PIN, SMS text & MMS msgs & use the browser with a high speed data connection.
GPRS: You can use the phone, send/receive email, PIN, SMS text & MMS msgs & use the browser.
edge, gprs, GSM: You can use the phone and send receive SMS text msgs.
SOS: You can only make emergency calls
OFF: You Blackberry Curve’s radio is turned off.
X: You are not in a wireless coverage area.

- Close and reopen BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
- In the Intellisync application, reconfigure synchronization settings as needed using the Configure PIM or Configure Synch button.

Hopefully most sage operators would have performed this over the weekend , but here is how to change the Sage VAT Rate in the UK for the new rate of 15% from the 1st December for a couple of years!
Sage Version 8
Click on : Settings then go to Tax Codes
Click on T1 – Edit
Rate – change to 15.0 – ok
The VAT code should now be 15%
Sage Version 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 (2008), 15 (2009)
Click on : Settings then go to Configuration
Tax Codes – Click on T1 – Edit
Rate – change to 15.0
Ok – Apply – Save – type in 15% – Save
From 1st December 08 should be at 15% as well as any purchase invoices dated from the 1st, however any purchase invoices received up to 30th November will be at 17.5% so you will have to make sure that the “Net” and the “VAT” amounts on Sage are correct as Sage will be calculating it at 15% and not 17.5%.
