Josh's Updates: Outlook 2010 Crashes on Startup

My Outlook 2010 kept crashing on start-up.    According to the event logs, was due to faulting module mso.dll with Event ID 1000.   Here's the steps I took to resolve it on win 7 Home Premium.

1. ran scanpst.exe in C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office 14/ folder - found some errors in the pst file so I repaired it.   Outlook still didn't load.
2. Found that I had many Outlook related Windows Updates to run and install.   Did that.  No dice.
3. What worked: 
   
1. Closed Outlook
2. Cut and pasted the mso.dll file over to the Desktop folder as a temp holding spot
3. Started Outlook and it reran the Microsoft Office Single image installer.
4. Let it complete
5. Started outlook and it finally gave me a handy error that the Exchange plugin kept failing - would I like to disable it?   HELL YES
6. Voila!!! Outlook started up

Josh's Updates: PHP include_path not working on Windows

I had added some directories to my include_path in php.ini and was still getting failed to open stream or file or directory not found.   It turns out that include_path should NOT have spaces in between the ; separator and the directory.

For example

Wrong:

include_path=".;D:wampbinphpphp5.2.5pear; D:wampbinphpphp5.2.5includes;

Right:

include_path=".;D:wampbinphpphp5.2.5pear;D:wampbinphpphp5.2.5includes;

Hope this helps someone

Josh's Updates: Apache Slow on Windows Local network

So I was having issues where I was accessing my Window 7 tower that has apache webserver installed.    When accessing localhost on the box it was nice and fast.   It should be for an i7 processor and 6GB of ram.    BUT if I accessed the machine from my laptop within my home network, it was taking a LONG time for apache to return anything.   Here is what I did to troubleshoot:

1. Pinged my tower from the laptop and response time was 3ms so network speed wasnt the problem.
2. Created a static html file and pulling it up was still slow so I knew it wasnt PHP or MySQL performance.   had to be DNS, router, or something with Apache.
3. The first change I made on the server, was to say goodbye to DHCP.   Gave the server a static IP address.
4. Disabled the IPv6 protocol on the server's network adapter.
5. Disabled DMZ on the Linksys wireless router since I didnt need it.

VOILA!   Superfast web server response time now.    Hope this helps someone
