Deltek Vision Error - Method Not Found

If you've received this error, you need to delete your Vision Apps folder. Below are instructions on how to do so.

First, close Vision and Internet Explorer. Then, Navigate to your C: Drive, then click on your user Directory. Once you are in your User Directory Click the AppData folder.

If you Cannot See the AppData Folder, click Organize/Folder Options/View. Tick the "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" check box. Click OK.

Once inside the AppData folder, you will see a folder called "Local". Inside that folder is a folder called "Apps". Delete the folder inside "Apps", called "2.0". After this, restart Vision. If done properly, you should not receive this error anymore.

Missing Junk Mail Folder

First, if your Junk Mail folder is missing, close Outlook. From the Start Menu Run bar, run the following 

“Outlook /resetfolders”.  When Outlook reopens, check to see if the Folder has re-appeared. If not, 

continue.

1, Download MFCMAPI using the following link:

http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/

2, Launch MFCMAPI tool on the user’s client. 

3, Go to Session -> Logon and Display Store Table

4, Select the outlook profile of the user and double-click “Mailbox - your user name”

5, Expand "Root Container"

6, Expand "Top of Information Store" 

Note: if the user has configured the outlook profile to use cached mode, we need to expand 

“IPM_subtree” under root container

7, Is Junk Mail Folder there?

If it is not look through the other folders. Once you can find it follow the below instructions to move it 

back to the correct Folder tree.

Process to recovery will be as following.

1. Access MFCMAPI Tool.

2. Expand the IPM_SubTree

3. Expand the Journaling folder

4. Highlight the Junk Email folder

5. Click on actions and select Copy.

6. Highlight the IPM-Subtree

7. Click on action and select Paste

8. Select the box for folder move and ok the change.

9. This will move the Junk Email folder back to the correct location.

Dialog Screens or Windows Appear Off-Screen

Sometimes (mostly after resolution or display changes) dialog boxes or windows will appear off screen. The solution to this is relatively simple.

First hit Alt and the Space bar at the same time (Alt+Space).

Then hit the M key (M).

Then tap any of your directional keys a few times.

After this, move your mouse cursor to the center of your screen. Your missing window should follow it. If this does not work, continue using the directional keys to "blindly" move it back to visibility.

Good luck.

Removing K9 Web Protection

If you've found yourself on a machine running K9 Web Protection that no one has a password to, there is a way to remove it.

Create a text file and copy the below batch script into it.

Script to Copy/Paste Below:

@echo off

set keys=^
 "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Blue Coat Systems"^
 "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\k9filter.exe"^
 "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Blue Coat K9 Web Protection"^
 "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\bckd"^
 "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\bckwfs"

REM remove registry keys
for %%G in (%keys%) do reg delete "%%~G" /f >nul

set folders=^
 "%programfiles%\Blue Coat K9 Web Protection"^
 "%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Blue Coat K9 Web Protection"

REM remove folders
for %%G in (%folders%) do rd /s /q "%%~G"

set files=^
 "%windir%\System32\drivers\bckd.sys"

REM remove files
for %%G in (%files%) do del "%%~G"

pause
exit /b

Make sure, after saving the text file, that you rename it so it has a ".cmd" extension.

Reboot and run Windows in Safe Mode.

Find your .cmd file, right-click it, and run it as an administrator.

Deleting Google Blogger Blog

If you're looking to delete a Blogger blog from Google, start with the blog in question's settings page.

Then, go to Settings/Other.

Then click "Delete

You'll be confronted by a "Are You Sure?" window.

After you do this, you have about 30 days before it's gone forever. I'd recommend donwloading the blog into text format before you do anything.
