What a coincidence!

Outlook failed to start correctly last time. - and it goes on forever!!
I had this problem a about half a year ago where Outlook 2003 on terminal server would come up with a safe mode message for every user everytime they started it. At the time i solved the problem however a few weeks ago it came back and I couldn’t for the life of me remember how to fix it.
One of the uses of my blog is to document any bits of obscure IT related problems and their solutions so that if they happen to me again in the future i can just look up the solution without having to trawl google and waste time sifting through all the crap. Kinda like an IT helpdesk knowledgebase but for me.
So here goes:
When using Outlook 2003 on a Windows 2000 terminal server, you may receive the following error:
Outlook failed to start correctly last time. Starting Outlook in safe mode
will help you correct or isolate a startup problem in order to successfully
start the program. Some functionality may be disabled in this mode.Do you want to start Outlook in safe mode?
No matter what you click Outlook opens - Yay.
No! The next time you launch Outlook you get the prompt again. And so on….
To fix the problem you need to go into the registry on the server and do a search for ”Resiliency” there will be quite a few entries, what you need to do is delete every entry that referrs to Outlook it should be something along the lines of:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Terminal Server\Install\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Resiliency
and
HK_USERS\S-x-xxxx….\…..\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Resiliency
Once these keys have been deleted the message should go away.
A little bit more done - photos
Got the photo’s working now, still messing with the layout though..

Updates, well more like a backdate…
Okay so i got bored with my old orange and black theme that i had on the site so needed a quick change with an idea of making my own theme in the nearest future. Well as all best plans go, i got side tracked and have stayed with this current theme (Officelog) but this weekend is/should be/was the weekend where i get down and sort it all out.
Looking for inspiration i thought it would be good to try and look at my past designs. As i have had a few harddrive failures in the past, unfortunately i have not got them on disk so i fired up the old wayback engine (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.pljdesigns.co.uk) to see what i could find.
It came up with a few layouts but they were not quite right with missing images and skewed layouts but what it did do is show me the posts from the time the archive was made which got me thinking… my old site was running on a very simple blogging software which i used before i jumped to wordpress.
The question arose, “Do i still have the backend to that site?” As i haven’t moved servers and generally don’t mess with MySQL there was a good chance that the posts were there in some way or form. I fired up my control panel and logged onto myphpadmin and took a look. Lo and behold there was the original database - all two tables!!
What I have done is copy all of the posts from my old blog into this one, along with all the time stamps etc. unfortunately I have not done the comments as i got bored (and was supposed t be redesigning the site anyway)
I now have entries from 2004 -2005 which includes my very first post. It’s funny looking back and remembering the setting and reason around each post.
Enough side tracking….
