Unable to convert normal meeting into a live meeting conference outlook 2007

Live meeting conference suddenly converted back into normal meeting. And when you try to convert the normal meeting back to live meeting in outlook 2007 you encounter this error: "An error occurred while executing this command. If this error persists, please contact your Live Meeting administrator"

Consider the following scenario:

You have a computer that is running Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP3 together with an earlier version of Microsoft Office Live Meeting Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook.

You open the Outlook 2003 calendar, and then schedule a meeting.

You open the scheduled meeting.

You use the Live Meeting toolbar to convert the meeting to a Live Meeting.

In this scenario, the meeting is not converted to a Live Meeting. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

An error occurred while executing this command. If this error persists, please contact your Live Meeting administrator.

This problem occurs because there are some registry keys for the earlier version of the Office Live Meeting Conferencing Add-in for Office Outlook that are not updated. The registry keys are not updated when you convert a regular meeting to a Live Meeting in outlook 2003.

To resolve this problem, install the following update:

How to switch fn / Function key in MAC OS X to normal function keys

How to switch fn / Function key in MAC OS X to normal function keys

If your Mac's keyboard has icons printed on some of the keys on the top row of the keyboard, those keys can be used to perform the special features shown in each icon, or they can be used as standard function keys (F1 - F12). The action performed by standard function keys will vary depending on the application you are currently using, or depending on the keyboard shortcuts listed in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.

By default, pressing one of these keys will perform the special feature indicated by the icon printed on the key. For example, pressing the keys with speaker icons will adjust the volume or mute the system volume. If you would like to use one of these keys as a standard function key on a portable Mac, you can hold the Fn key while pressing the function key. For example, if you press Fn-F10 (with a speaker icon), it will perform the function assigned to the F10 key instead of toggling mute on or off.


If you prefer the top row of keys to behave as standard function keys (instead of performing the special feature indicated by the icon), without needing to hold down the Fn key:

1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. From the View menu choose Keyboard (or Keyboard & Mouse in Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier).
3. Click Keyboard, if necessary.
4. Enable "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."

With this option enabled, the top row of keys will act as standard function keys (F1 - F12) and not perform special functions such as volume control. To use the features shown on the icon printed on one of these keys while this option is enabled, press Fn. For example, if the above option is enabled, press Fn-F10 to toggle mute on or off.

HP Laptop Boot Up Problem hang and freeze - black screen

Laptop always hang after you boot up your computer, no BIOS, just a black screen. sometimes you can see the light blinking and then after that it's just freeze with no sounds from the BIOS.

probably it's the Monitor / Graphic card issue (you will hear some sound as well), check the hard disk light if it's not working then probably is not monitor or graphic card issue.


To solve the second one the HP laptop cannot enter BIOS, Freeze with black screen when you boot up your laptop, do the following:

1. Take out the laptop's battery
2. Take off the Power Supply from your adapter as well
3. Press the power button for 30 seconds.

Put everything back and it will work like a charm.

If it doesnt work maybe you can try to call the HP service centre to get your motherboard replaced.

hp 8440p docking station problems Black Screen After Boot Up Windows XP

this is the old solution: 

HP Docking Station Elite 8440p Black Screen After Boot Up Windows XP

This is the latest solution

The latest HP 8440P bios F0.B has been released and fixes a number of issues with the 8440P laptop. I’ve tested this on my new laptop with great success.

The fixes include:

•    No more black screen when starting the machine on a docking station (you don’t have to disable the serial port anymore in the bios)
•    Extremely noisy fan when you bring the machine back from sleep / hibernation
•    VT problem (when you enable VT it's not possible to do a warm reboot)

The update should be performed from a USB stick not from within windows:

Windows XP SP 3 performing cleanup service pack 3 taking a long time

Windows XP SP 3 performing cleanup service pack 3 taking a long time or freeze ... or the "performing cleanup" hang ...

I tried it and it's work (if you can just wait .... maybe 3-4 hours who knows but personally I think it's safer that way)

If you are a risk taker or simply cannot wait the performing cleanup at the final stage of the SP 3 upgrade installation ...

or if you are like me waited for 2 hours and fed up ... then you have 2 options

1. Stop the services (you can just go to task manager and stop the update.exe) or just hit the restart button, when it  ask to end the program just do it.

2. Just press the power button for 10 seconds to shut it down

I did the first one and everything looks fine now.

How to check if my windows xp sp3 upgraded successfully?
go to my computer right click on it choose properties you should see SP 3 over there...

then congrats ...
