Posted on: October 29th, 2008 Recover the corrupted .pst file for Microsoft Outlook

I am using PC (Windows) at work, and also use Microsoft Outlook for the email client. One day, I couldn’t open my outlook and it said that the data file is corrupted ( windows can’t handle me ). After I checked the .pst file (the data file that actually stored/hold all emails, it usually named outlook.pst), the file reached more than 1 GB for the size. No wonder it’s that big, because I have been using outlook for my work email for the last 2 years (almost).

To recover it, i simply using SCANPST.EXE. the file is located under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12. very easy to find and to use. Just double click the .exe file and follow through the instructions. If you have a big .pst file size like I did, the scan will be take a while. when you scan your .pst file, make sure that outlook is closed (do not open it).

Posted on: October 29th, 2008 Your network settings have been changed by another application.

Probably you have experienced this on your MAC after you did an update and open the Network preferences. This annoying looping message is caused by the Security Update that Apple has released (Security Update 2008-006). Maybe Apple will fix this bug on the next Security Update. Hopefully.

But, no worries, to tackle this for temporary solution without have to fix it from the core, what you have to do is just click and hold the enter/return key on the keyboard and then move the cursor/mouse and try to click the lock icon on the bottom left corner. if it’s unlock, try to lock it, if it’s lock try to unlock it. It will asking you the admin password if you have set the admin password before. Then the annoying looping message should disappear, and you will be able to update your Network Preferences again.
