david Where is ScanPST.exe on Windows Vista & Windows XP Office - Subscribe
I received a call from our Houston office today (here at work), letting me know that they were having an issue with one of the terminals. Seems as though Microsoft Office Outlook was displaying and error upon populating the .pst file.

Well obviously you would use the ScanPST.exe but heck, Where is ScanPST on Windows Vista & Windows XP Office? Well here are the locations for you. Hopefully this will save you some time.

Location of Windows Vista ScanPST.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12

Location of Windows XP ScanPST.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMapi\1033\Scanpst.exe

Be sure to allow the viewing of hidden files and folders on your machine. If you do not there is a chance that you will not be able to locate the ScanPST.exe file that you need to run.

How to Allow Hidden Files and Folders
Start > Control Panel > Files and Folders or Folder Options > View > Under Hidden Files and Folders > Bubble in Show Hidden Files and Folders > Apply > Ok

Good luck!

david Puro San Antonio Jun 28th, 2009 8:24:17 pm - Subscribe
Puro San Antonio is or could be or may be is a twitter, blog, news, or some other social media account that has sprung up in San Antonio.

Puro meaning pure, and San Antonio meaning San Antonio Texas. Puro San Antonio is all about San Antonio Texas, and from what I have noticed on such sites as twitter many users state many typical San Antonio events and situations that happen around in the city. Such as:

  • The person in front of me at HEB had: Diapers, Beer and a pregnancy test. #purosanantonio
  • random carnival in my n'hood.... that's #purosanantonio
  • When you see someone on their Iphone, while waiting at the bus stop, that's #purosanantonio.
  • I just had a barbacoa taco with Big Red, now that's Puro San Antonio!!!<--- YES!!

    This is some very funny and very stereotypical blerps. Good humor for those who have lived, or were born in the city.

    For more of this follow on Twitter Puro San Antonio.

    david Download Hava Player Portable App Jun 28th, 2009 2:12:39 pm - Subscribe
    Just wondering if anyone knows where to find an existing download of the Hava Player Portable App.

    Download Hava Player Portable App

    Don't get me wrong, the Hava Player is a great install, but what I am looking for is the portable app / thinstall so that I can put it on my usb 2.0 stick. I believe the installation of the application (non portable is around 80 megs) Which for a player, it is kind of a lot. If we can get that player down to 12 megs, with the ease on no installation of files to a computer now that would be awesome.

    For those of you do not know what the Hava Player is come take a look at MyHava.com. This enables you to stream your TV to any computer in your home or anywhere with a connection to the internet. So to have a portable app for this...well that would just be awesome.

    Perhaps I will make a the app, but with the way my schedule looks...I really do not have the time to sit down, do a clean install of my system, and thinstall the Hava Player. If anyone can help in this venture that would be great.

    Please assist! Links are welcomed.

    david How to Fix Remote Desktop No Error Message Problem Jun 8th, 2009 10:07:26 pm - Subscribe
    Entry explains How to Fix Remote Desktop No Error Message Problem. For all of you that are having problems with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Connection, I may have a(n) answer for you. The issue occurs when you try and access the PC with Remote Desktop. Well it doesn't give you an error, but simply wait's for a couple of seconds, then appears to time out. It took me a couple of hours to find what the error was, but luckily I got it fixed.

    Well first off I will list everything that I did try, to make sure that the program was working and not corrupted in anyway.

    What I verified during my troubleshooting

    1. [See your router] Made sure my ports were forwarded.
    2. Start > Right Click My Computer > Properties > Remote. Check marked Allow Remote Assistance invitations to be sent from this computer
    3. Start > Right Click My Computer > Properties > Remote. Check marked Allow users to connect remotely to this computer
    4. Start > Run > CMD. Able to telnet with commands 'telnet myipaddress port
    5. Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions Tab > Edit. Checked my firewall and gave it Remote Desktop permissions to work outside of it.


    How I fixed the Remote Desktop No Error Message Problem
    I realized that I wanted to try the vertical options that my 21' LCD monitor had. That is when I knew that's when I started having problems. I figured that Remote Desktop was unable to tell my PC that it was flipped vertically, and not horizontally. So rather than settling with a horizontal monitor and conforming to my problem, I decided to update the drivers.

    When I updated my Nvidia GeForce 7800 to the latest drivers and rebooted. Boom! I was able to connect remotely from another PC. So there you go, of you guys are having issues try updating your video drivers. This issue has something to do with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop not recognizing monitor changes, and not knowing how to deal with it. There for the system gives you no error, because it's clueless.

    Still have questions? Post below and I will see if I can give you some help with this issue.

    My question to you guys is If CD's Suck Why Trust Hard Drives? I know the answer, but I wanted to hear what you guys have to say about it.

    So how about it, do you back up on CD's, DVD's, or on Hard Drives (HD's). The answer should all be the same. But lets see if we can help everyone understand the difference.

    david How to Backup Files and Access them Remotely Apr 30th, 2009 8:22:21 pm - Subscribe
    How to Backup Files and Access them Remotely

    For the past month I have been backing up my files remotely. I am storing all music, software, and photos on a remote server.

    The idea is to store and back up all of my .jpg, jpeg, .gif, .png, .doc, .docx, .db, .sql, .htm, .html, .php, .asp, .xml, .bin, .ink, .3g2, .torrent, .bmp, .psd, .psp, .pspimage, .fla, .swf, .ai, . .zip, .rar, .iso, .img, .exe, .bat, .cmd, .avi, .xvid, .divx, .cfg, .svg, .rom, .log, .dll, files so that I can access them at a later date.

    The only reason why I am backing up is to store what means the most to me. I have organized my files, functions, themes, and profiles, in such a way that I will never have to worry about hardware.

    If I have a drivers disk that I will need, I make it into a .ISO and simply back it up to my 1TB external drive, which then syncs to my remotely hosted account.

    It is said that your data is only safe if you back it up three times. Once in your home, secondly at an office, and third remotely at a server that is other than where you live.

    Many people are afraid of the remote server personal accessing there files, and I do understand that. My recommendation is to encrypt your files. I won't go into encrypting files here, but if you do a google search perhaps you will find what you need. From there you will have the ability to upload your encrypted files and have them hosted.

    Some remote file hosting websites that I recommend are safe and private. Here is a list for you to try out.

    Explains how to convert a Adobe Illustrator file .EPS or .AI to Photoshop .PSD. This is pretty self explanatory but I figured that it could be easily overlooked.

    How to Convert Adobe Illustrator .EPS .AI to Photoshop .PSD
  • Open Illustrator
  • Open your Illustrator file .EPS or .AI
  • In Illustrator go to file
  • Export
  • Under Save Type As
  • Choose Photoshop .PSD
  • Now click save

    Your done. Recently I have been working on Adobe Illustrator and to me, this is more of a 'note to self', so that I wouldn't forget. Personally I'm an Adobe Photoshop guy.

    My talk with a fellow zombie fan. Here we are talking about the game Left for Dead, for more information on the game go to the website in the link below.

    Creative210: hi its David aka Creative210 from the other night. Thanks for the games there.

    ExGentleman: sure, man. my name is david too

    Creative210: hah, awesome. Thanks for your techs on the maps...no way on beating that map on expert with out your help.
    Creative210: Cheers*

    ExGentleman: yeah, they're all tough on expert. just remember to stick to corners when you think you're gonna be surrounded soon. and try sticking to walls when you're walking

    Creative210 best fuqing idea ever. yea. I usually wonder in the middle for access out of tight situations. but agreed, when there is a hoard coming at you its best to corner and check your angels. I wait for my members to reload, then I blast the shoty.

    ExGentleman: even when you're running into a room/area to clear it out, find the nearest corner, blast your way to it and then camp there to clear the rest. better than just running in blind and you take a lot less damage, if any

    Creative210: Another great idea, whats funny is I personally think 'real life', and I can tell you this I would never camp, but in L4D it's a must...for every 70% you shoot out...the other 30% belongs to camping and exploring.

    ExGentleman: weird, i've thought about it too. my first reaction would be to camp, but the game offers the ability to know the horde is gonna stop coming at some point.
    ExGentleman: in "real life" i'd just fucking run

    Creative210: agreed, what do you think about the sound actions? Good for gamers, bad for real life action? Agreed? Can you imagine a horde coming for you with out warning? I think it would be awesome.

    ExGentleman: It absolutely would make the game harder. It would be cool for Valve to offer a "super expert" mode at some point in a patch that takes out the music cues.

    1-4-1 Zero music all enviromental sounds...perhaps even wildlife giving warnings, birds, deer, surviror screams, etc...they make it too easy for the non zombie mainstream fanatic.

    ExGentleman: how do you do that? can it be reveresed easily?

    ExGentleman: reversed

    Creative210: Nopes, it would be a davidpolanco hack...(my last name is David Polanco) perhaps I can work with a team on this. I have experience in Half Life 2 SKD...that would be awesome if they released an SDK for L4D I would work hard on it.

    ExGentleman: i think they are

    Creative210: I created a map on my condo using HL2 SDK

    ExGentleman: next patch/release from what i've heard. in the spring

    Creative210: Epic. I will polish my skills in HL2 to perpare. I'm a big fan of zombie horror movies. It's nice to give back.

    ExGentleman: same here. seen all the shitty ones. and the good ones. keep me up to date on your progress after the sdk is released

    Creative210: I will Ex. thanks for the help, msg me anytime...my wife and I are expecting so sure things are going to be a little tuffer but I can always make time. If it were possible you would be the only one to shoot me in the head in this really happened. LOL. Your lucky. hah.

    ExGentleman: congrats, man. we'll play again soon

    Creative210: My pleasure, expert only.

    ExGentleman: of course

    My song to Nikki. A song short song...Slick Shoes So Much More.



    Lyrics for the non softcore punk literate.

    quote:
    I see my future in your eyes
    but I never thought I'd know
    what it was to feel this way
    but you've taken that away
    there was no one else like you
    when I first saw your smile
    I never thought it'd be you
    to change my life this way

    but now I'm yours
    and I feel so much more
    I want to be there
    the rest of your life
    but I just can't see
    how I deserve you

    I could not have picked a better
    person to be you

    funny when I had the chance to speak to you
    I fell right to the floor in a wave of insecurities
    I never know why you came to me
    someone people talked about but few would talk to

    and now I'm yours
    and I feel so much more
    I want to be there
    the rest of your life
    but I just can't see
    how I deserve you

    I don't know what to do sometimes
    I just want to be all I can for you now
    I'll be there when you need to be held
    I'll be there when you're tired

    I could not want more than what I have in you what I have in you


    I love you.
