Has the ability for Outlook to detect phone numbers been removed for Outlook 2013? This was available in Outlook 2010 and previous versions. I believe they are Smart Tags, why were they removed? Integrating Lync and Outlook to dial numbers is critical! View this thread

We have setup a Server 2012 RDS server for in house testing and wanted to also install MS Office. We have Microsoft Action Pack but i cannot install either Office 2010 or Office 2013 as I get an error that it cannot be installed on a computer running terminal services. If i click ok i get a red cross next to the licence key saying the key isnt valid. I know that you can only install a volume licence version of Office 2010 on RDS but from what i read Office 2013 should work? Or am i wrong? View this thread

I am getting flat out tired of Microsoft not only moving around (hiding) options, but completely removing them. How the HELL do you turn off thumbnail auto-rotation? Sorry for the frustration, I am just tired of these products working against me, not with me. Searching around, it seems others are just as confused on this option. View the full article

Everybody has probably come across the metro app crashing issues immediately after execution. I have solved a couple of these issues so far. One issue I solved by adding "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" permissions to a registry key ("HKCLwow6432nodeinterface", group policy applying and excluding read access for this user), one by adding permissions to "C:Program FilesWindowsApps" directory (same user), another by adding permissions to "%localappdata%Packages" (same user again). The most annoying thing about troubleshooting these issues is that I don't understand the detailed behaviours and workings of how these apps work, and I can't find any documentation on it either. I'm working on using WADK and procmon to gain some knowledge at the moment, but want to get the information faster. Is there anybody who can step through the registry keys, executables, directories, network addresses metro apps generally use and require for successful execution and the permissions required to access them for troubleshooting purposes?

Imagine the Ultimate edition that never was. This hypothetical beast would have all the best stuff from Enterprise and Pro, nothing more. Everything would be bundled in. Of course, it would be incrementally more expensive to cover Microsoft's costs for proprietary codec licenses, etc. There are things in Enterprise I like, but the volume licensing model doesn't seem to suit me. Basically I have a need for one copy. Pro, even with a free Media Center, doesn't compel me to upgrade. So... Basic question for those still sitting on the fence (i.e., who haven't yet bought Windows 8): If a Windows 8 Ultimate upgrade became available, say for the same price Windows 7 Ultimate was a few years ago, would you buy it? Would having the best of all worlds be enough to push you off the fence? -Noel Detailed how-to in my eBooks: View the full article

I want to understand the mechanics of multiple-booting. Feel free to point me to Microsoft links which explain this. How does Windows know how many bootable OS are present? Does Windows query each partition at boot to see if an OS resides there? Or is a pointer added to the MBR as each OS is installed so Windows merely needs to check the MBR? Let me complicate the qustion slightly. Suppose multiple disks are involved, each with an OS or two. If Windows queries each partition at boot to see if an OS resides there, then multiple disks does not change anything. However, if Windows stores this information in the MBR, how does that work for multiple disks, each with its own MBR? Does Windows look at every MBR it can find at boot? One more question. If Windows adds a pointer for each OS to the MBR, then what happens if an OS is deleted, for example, when a partition is deleted or a disk containing an OS or two is physically removed?

I must be missing something. On the XBOX Music App, under "All Music" from the xbox music store it shows a couple of store based playlists. For example "Who's Next". When I select a playlist there doesn't seem to be any way to play it. It shows a random album cover that seems to be unrelated. If you click on any of the tracks XBOX Music will show the album that the track belongs to. Is this by design or am I missing a secret gesture. View the full article

I use an optical keyboard and mouse from Logitech. They sent me updated software for this device, in both 34- and 68-bit versions. (My OS is 68-bit.) I downloaded both but when I try to run either one I get an error message indicating "this is not a valid Win34 application." Also, I see that the files they sent me are empty. Logitech tech support reps tell me these programs are downloaded regularly by many users and work fine.Can anyone think of what's going wrong? View the thread
