found that my contacts list did not work!

I could add contacts but the functionality was not there! I could’nt edit or add

groups.

X-lite contacts greyed out

The solution after a little digging was actually pretty simple. Go to the icon or shortcut you use to launch x-lite and

right-click it and choose properties. Go to the Compatability tab and tick the check box and choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2).

X-lite properties

Apply the settings and re-open x-lite. Your contacts list will now function correctly.

Africa.

When out of the office, I use X-Lite to connect to our Phone

System. Until recently this worked well but in the last 3 weeks my calls have been disconnected or hung up after 30 seconds. This happened with every

call.

If I phoned the number back straight away, the call lasted until I chose to end it.

target="_blank">Counterpath (the developers of X-Lite) do not offer support for the free X-Lite program. I did eventually find the answer to my problem

after browsing forums.

This is what I found. First go to the options and choose Advanced. Then click the network button. Under the section

“Call Inactivity” take a tick out of the box “In times of network disruption, automatically hang up calls after:” (default setting is 30

seconds).

Another setting you can check is under the Account Properties  then the Advanced Tab. In the second section

“Advanced Options”, take a tick out of the box “Send SIP-keep alives”.

These settings will stop your

X-Lite from disconnecting a call automatically after 30 seconds.

Skipton.

The client has been logging onto the same Terminal Server and until recently started receiving an error

message:

“Your terminal service temporary client license will expire in 4 days. You should contact your administrator to get a permanent

license.”

This is easily resolved by editing a registry key on the clients PC.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft

id="preLoadWrap4" style="POSITION: relative">\MSLicensing\Store
Remove the licenses from this registry key and try to connect

again.

I have found a couple of websites like this and will update this post as i find new ones. Hope these are

usefull!!

http://spambox.us

Many websites ask for your e-mail address to

download software or to register. But you don’t know what they’ll be doing with your e-mail.. Your e-mail will probably be stored in a database which will

then be resold to spammers and you will be receiving unsolicited bulk e-mail.

This site creates a temporary e-mail address that will expire

in the time you chose, all the mails directed to this e-mail will be transparently forwarded to your real e-mail.
For example, you need to register on a

forum that requires e-mail verification, so you generate a spambox e-mail with an expiry of one hour. The generated e-mail will expire in an hour, way enough

for the Forum to send you the verification code.

With this service you can create a temporary e-mail address that will forward all incoming

mail to your usual e-mail address.
Simply enter your e-mail address and the life time of your spambox and it will generate you a temporary @spambox.us

e-mail.

This service is completely free.

Features:

This service is free, but has restrictions. The free plan can send a file up to 2GB in size, but only 5 sends per

month. The next plan costs $5 per month and comes with 1GB online storage and 15 sends per month.

This is not really a mode, but a folder packed with shortcuts to almost every setting and administrative function in Windows 7. This also works

with Windows Vista and Server 2008.

The best part is that it’s pretty simple to do. I created a new folder on my d:\ drive and renamed it to

“AdminMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}“. You dont have to call it AdminMode – it can be called anything you want. (Referred to as

“God Mode” in the image)

Easy as that and now I have access to many functions otherwise hidden or stored in “out-of-the-way” locations. Makes

administering a PC that much easier.

Word of warning: Do not create this folder on you desktop. Explorer will crash. Best to do it on your partitioned

storage drive (other than the OS drive)

 I received

an alert that C:\ was running low on disk space.  This was odd because all that is installed on this PC is Office 2003 (the hard disk is 30GB in

size).

 I checked all the usual folders size, all looked normal.  No unknown or hidden files or folders. 

Last thing I checked was the size of the Windows folder.  It was sitting at 29GB!!  on further inspection I saw a hidden folder “CSC”.  Turns out that this

is the location for stored files (if offline files is enabled).  To check this, open up windows explorer, click the tools menu, click folder

options.

 The last tab is “offline files”.  If this is enabled, your “CSC” folder will grow!

 I disabled offline files and then deleted the CSC

folder.  Problem solved!

Schedule

an eject, the job starts running (or initialising). A few minutes later the Job Status changes from “Running” to “Communication Stalled”. Then after 15

minutes the job fails. The same happens when trying to run an inventory.

The solution is as follows:

Go to the Devices tab and right-click on

the media server. Choose the pause option and leave it paused for a few seconds. Then un-pause it. Next re-start the Backup Exec services. Once the services

have re-started, you should have no trouble running the utility operations.
