Office Items Crash After Windows 10 Upgrade

After first trying 5 other computers on the windows 10 upgrade and all going successfully, until 6th computer.
after upgrading the 6th computer to Windows 10, no Microsoft office programs want to work. Excel crashes imediatly after opening, outlook was the first crash. We tried to send an email and clicked the outlook icon, outlook opened for a breif moment. Maybe 2 seconds, then closed. No errors.

We then tried word and excel and got the same thing. We then tried to use the safe mode command “excel.exe /safe”. This did not and gave us a crash notice.

As of right now we find no solution to why outlook is crashing when we launch it or any office program.

Budget Build

my boss had a customer he needed to make happy so he gave me an exact budget to stay in. I had two stores to pick parts from. But get better office points if I can save time by going to just one for the computer parts.

as you can see I was up to the challenge.
The person already had their Monitors and keyboards and Speakers, Quickbooks, and Windows 7. My duty was to just build a tower that can withstand the daily office use of quickbooks, and other office tasks.
Me being the wiser know there will be some Youtube going on. I build this machine to stand against most office employees.
$750 was the challenge.
I build the ultimate work computer.
On someone else’s budget of course.

Getting Microsoft Office Keyboard to work on Windows 7 64 bit

Microsoft_Office_Keyboard
I have tried the AutoHotkey.exe program and did all of the set up stuff that everyone talks about and made a custom as was instructed by other users and even added the scroll and Zoom functions as stated by others

but, my AHK file does not magically show the H icon as I was told it would. Seemingly because tehre is nothing writing to the regestry on my computer and the AutoHotkey.exe files is just that. A stand alone program.
I later tried the Compiler on the AHK websites and even made my own little nifty executable with the hot key and scroll wheel commands already in it.
ahkcustom
Nope no good.
I even created the shortcut and added it to the start/startup folder to make the file automatically run at start up. Still a big fail.

Also found another version of the same commands with a bit added to it

Again, no help

It took heavy use of Google for me to get every button functioning except scroll wheel.

The latest drivers helped tremendously minus wheel support as mention, except, when I open the intellitype pro software the tab for keyboard settings is greyed out. Says “No Microsoft usb keyboard detected”.

I found a few files..(one labled ITypeDevices.xml), but they list the supported devices. I am wondering if there is an edit to that which I could make to force the software to identify the driver just well enough so I can add settings for the scroll wheel.

settings

Inside the XML file stated above, I located commands for each type of keyboard and link from that to a folder for a shortcut to a bmp file. So I assume that when the computer identifies the office keyboard, it will want to show you a little image. I am sure any image we put there will work just fine.

I am scared to make this edit because there really is no telling how many files are actually associated to this XML, that will need to be updated along with this ITypeDevices.xml file.

If anyone has anything to add to this please please respond, there are many people who need this answer

The Office Network

Well. The network here is fully, 100% in all ways….. Weird.
Our local I.T. guy has the company all stuffed into one blade with one single hard drive (on a blade that has optional 4 front load 3.5 hd). It’s not his fault. The company doesn’t buy new crap, and leaves him making it all work. Just sometimes, his issues could be avoided, if he would listen from time to time.

But some people have their own way to learn and do things, so they get into them and stick with them. God forbid they step out of their element.

So.  Everyday I have to go reboot some wet fecal matter we call a peachtree server (it’s an old Pentium III single core green machine,pata only), and hope it makes it through the day without someone needing my assistance.

The user accounts on the blade, Could be a whole lot easier to set up, if the weirdo would stop deleting the icons off the desktop and start menu “recent” area. but again, he figured out how to work the server in this weird half fast way (yeah I know how to say it but this is a vulgarity free site), so if I do anything on it, yeah… it screwed up the space time continuum.

Sad thing is, I am the relief I.T. guy when he is out of the office. I fix anything, and he has no idea how I did it, space time continuum issue again. Shoe lace untied? space time continuum issue again because I worked something. power goes out in another state? Space time continuum issue again.

Sure would be nice if the high ups here would understand what I want to complain about. but again… It’s a job.

Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450

Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450
The best keyboard I have ever used. The hot keys, the scroll wheel the volume button with the mute button, the copy the paste, web browser button and email,excel,word . This keyboard is the only keyboard I have ever bought myself more than once. Simply because the Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450 is must have for me, no matter where I am or what computer I am on. I have one at work, I have a Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450 at home. The Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450 at home is used for gaming and web design and the Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450 at work is for autodesk. Nothing like that scroll wheel on the left when you are using autodesk because zooming in and out all day will get tiresome if you are just using one finger. Now I can use both hands. The right hand is for fine tuning.

Microsoft Office Keyboard


If you can locate one at a fair price, I highly recommend you purchasing this keyboard. Even with this keyboard being more than 7 years old and off the shelves for 4, this keyboard far surpasses the replacement keyboard that Microsoft shoveled at us.(not everyone likes wireless keyboards).
One of the hidden gems about the Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450, is the application button. You can punch through all open running processes to switch processes in seconds without using other hand. Application buttons include a forward and a back button. Calculator, have you ever looked for the calculator on your computer? is that not the most annoying Search and Destroy mission you have ever been on? When you are in a hurry, it just does not click in your head where the calculator is.

Look this keyboard up on Amazon. Or ebay or Craig’s list or buy.com. The Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450 is a must have keyboard.

Windows 7 Work Environment Install day 4

Strange event of coming out of hibernate. Happens approximately every thirty minutes

The issue with peach tree and esc Was not caused with Microsoft, It was clarified as an issue between the two versions.

Well after plenty of hassle, all printers and scanners are functioning. All networking is functioning.

About the same amount of issues if we had gone with opensource. Ubuntu,open office and Peachtree Linux

Day one windows seven at the office.      Day two windows seven at the workplace.

More will come

High Priority List Display

Where I work, I get handed jobs and drawings to edit. Constantly. I am working on a way of showing people what is top on my priority list. If anyone knows of maybe a flash executable or something, so as people come to my desk asking when I will get their job done. Could you let me know??? I really need this. What I have isn’t coming together that well. It would be kinda cool if it would save to a specified txt file each job I do, as It makes it to the page in line, till I click “done” so the next can take the number one slot. would be nice if it logged all that. Kinda help me keep track of the jobs I am doing.

Thanks.

Working On “Her” Computer

Well it seems the lady has come into a few cooties.

She has an xps m1210 laptop.

Since neither of us know just how long the stuff has been on her machine or where or how they all got there, I believe it would be in her best interest if we just back up everything that is important and whip out the reinstall discs. Easy? lol. Newp. No chance. Seems back when she got the computer she lived elsewhere with someone else and obtaining the drivers discs and o/s and all teh bundled software discs had to include a spy. Her little sister had to sneak the border and play friendlies… Now she snuck out with the baggy thing that all the discs are in which of course no one there claims to have seen. We have done some searches and find that one disc on the bag, is not for this laptop that we are about to work on. Ok. Now we have all the discs.

The hard part is deciding what to do after we install everything and well, does the sister go back and act like nothing happened? ( I mean this is a close as family issue, I am not in the family so I have to step back) I am thinking of burning the discs as a back up and bundling some jacked up progs with it.. but will they hate me for it?

well whatever

Ok So now the back up is not going so well. I have been to virustotal ,virscan.org and jotti’s a million times and man, I keep finding malware in everything she wants to backup. I am half tempted to just format and cross my fingers and lie like a dog. I am getting sick of each time they find stuff in the files I end up having to delete them anyway because they are beyond repair. Meanwhile I have a million more files to scan…one by one….. It’s hardly worth it. Then again she is fricken hot and I know what I am doing.
Well I also looked around and saw that ubuntu installs pretty good on this particular model. If I can assure her that open office is just as good as microsoft office/works then I got it made! I wouldn’t have to delete anything!
Tell you what, I will do something with this pretty machine and post it here later ;)

to be continued…….
