Looks like your planned rollout just got cheaper. Can you say FREE? Thanks to some welcome and good news from the RIM giant.

Here’s a nice comparison chart that shows all the features: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/business/server/express/ComparisonChart_NA_012110.pdf

If you need some help with that deployment, give our office a call!

Cheers to collaboration,

Quickbooks won’t print or save PDF’s…

If this looks familiar to you:
quickbooks-print-problems

Then I’ve got answers. First of all, for reference, you can look here: http://community.intuit.com/wikis?cid=8aec7ad5eac7a65757c6b03ac465eca5bc57e3b3

The short answer, to fix it, for me… was to go to C:\Program Data\Intuit\Quickbooks YEAR\ and rename the file QBPRINT.QBP to QBPRINT.QBP.old. Make sure you do that while Quickbooks is closed. Now open it and hopefully you will be able to print again. Note that you will have lost all your Quickbooks printing preferences…

Happy Accounting.

The dependency service or group failed to start

Filed under: Operating Systems — ryebread @ 2:22 am

I had the same issue. It’s a corrupt TCP/IP Stack

To fix, you will need to run a command prompt as administrator

Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt (Right-Click and Run as Administrator)

At the command Prompt type : netsh winsock reset

Ignore all errors, restart your computer and networking should work

Ever heard of facebook? 60% of business say that it is their largest security risk (out of the popular social networking sites).
