Loop back adaptor for Windows 7

The key step I was missing was how to find the Hardware Wizard:
  1. Click the Start menu.
  2. Search for “cmd".
  3. Right-click on “cmd” and select “Run as Administrator”
  4. Enter “hdwwiz.exe”
From that point on it's the same approach as under Vista, i.e.:
  1. In the "Welcome to the Add Hardware Wizard", click Next.
  2. Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)" and click Next.
  3. Scroll down and select "Network adapters" and click Next.
  4. Select under Manufacturer "Microsoft" and then under Network Adapter "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" and click Next.
I've tested this and it's working for me (connecting the host to a VPC using the loopback adapter).

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

Start->run..then type the following -> "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane"

Should solve your problem.


The way to fix this is to do a system restore.
Below is a link to those instructions.

While the "broken profile" part of this post belongs in the Vista forum.
I'm going to suggest that you pop over to the Office forum for the Outlook part. That is more appropriate for them to handle.
Hope this helped!

You want the settings or the data?  If its your old data you're after, attach your old .PST file to the new profile you created:

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

If the data file won't open in the new profile, it may be damaged:

USB current overload easy fix ASUS P5L -MX Solved

I've recently had the displeasure of turning my computer on and it gave the error : USB current overload, computer will shut off after _ seconds.  I fixed it by removing the front USB connector on the mother board the pin straight and BAM problem was solved ( Be sure to shut down pc and unplug power source from pc before you dig inside to fix  ). So before you try anything too technical to fix this issue check to make sure all the pins are straight and not bent or touching the metal sides of the usb port. Hope this helps because this was a really hard problem to solve at first and ended up being something very simple to fix.

If still the error is their
put a jumper on USBPW5678

Download User List as CSV in google apps

  It looks like, for whatever reason, the .CSV link disappears when you create more than 30 users in your domain.  However, you should still be able to download the file by logging into the Control Panel and then manually entering the URL:

https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/yourdomain.com/DownloadUserData/UserData-yourdomain.com-20090527.csv    (replace both yourdomain.comentries with your actual domain name and replace 20090527 with today's actual date).
