I noticed TomTome HOME software had a “Backup my device” option which is meant to just take a complete snapshot of your device to allow for a full restore at a later date. Continue reading “TomTom HOME gives error trying to backup your device [FIX]”
Active Desktop Recovery error desktop.htt object doesn’t support this action
I had a recent issue with one of my work servers, a DELL NAS PowerVault 745N running Windows Server 2003 Appliance Edition. It wasn’t a serious issue, just the wallpaper background of the windows desktop was showing the following error:
Active Desktop Recovery error desktop.htt object doesn’t support this action
There was an option to click to restore your active desktop, but this was unable to restore the active desktop but eventually I found a solution that involved tweaking the registry a little:
1.Go to Run, type regedit and hit enter
2.Go here HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerDesktopSafeModeComponents
3.Select the value DeskHtmlVersion
4.Select the Decimal radial button
5.Change the value of 272 to 0
6.Most of the time it might take a few seconds for your background to appear, if not you might need to restart your computer.
Outlook reminders not working (fix)
Luckily there was a nice easy fix:
- Quit Outlook
- Click Start->Run
- Type “outlook /cleanreminders” without the quotes and hit OK.
- Outlook will then launch after cleaning any corrupt appointments.
- Quit Outlook again.
- Click Start->Run
- Type “outlook /cleanfreebusy” without the quotes and hit OK.
- Outlook will then launch after cleaning any corrupt free/busy slots.
- That’s it.
4 of my employees had this problem with Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003. The above fix worked first time for all of them.
