0×800C012E, 5 – Outlook Express Could Not Be Started
Failed Google Searches

- Outlook express could not be started login / startup
I spent way too much time trying to find the answer for this little problem. Basically, if a user connects to a machine connected to a Windows domain but is not an administrator of that machine, you get this error message. It doesn’t really hurt anything, but just a PitA.
Howto Fix Outlook Express Error: 0×800C012E, 5
After finding out that the problem is related to Windows Search, I decided to just uninstall it. Game over. I can tell you that I tried a bunch of configurations to try and keep Windows Search while removing the error, but it’s just not worth it. You really shouldn’t waste your time trying to get it to work, I even deselected all folders for indexing and the error was still there.
Solution: Uninstall Windows Search
I have said F@#k Internet Explorer and now I am saying F@#k Windows Search
My assumption is that Outlook Express was installed on the system (as is comes this way normally) and then Windows Search was installed before uninstalling OE. I have plenty of XP systems working with Windows Search installed and Outlook Express not installed. Although, I always remove all the programs I don’t want first, before getting updates.
Hope this helps :~D
Ubuntu 9.10 Error: Initrd is too big
Simple Solution
Unplug any external hard drives you may have and restart!
Hoping
I hope Google takes care of this and makes this post number one. After installing Ubuntu 9.10 and working for a day with no problems I restarted (not the first time) and received the error;
Initrd is too big
That’s it, nothing else. So of course I went to Google on another machine to search for a solution that error. There are way too many of these errors for different versions of Linux so I trimmed the search by adding “Ubuntu 9.10” at the end of the search. Keeping the quotes that way tells G that this term carries the most weight.
Still nothing! I was down to the third and forth pages, and now this was taking too much time. Luckily I came across an old post, when Karmic Koala was still in beta, that was related to an external USB hard drive problem. I thought to myself, no way, but I tried anyway.
Unplug the external hard drive, restarted perfect!
I am not sure why, but now I have to unplug my hard drive to restart my computer. I can deal with that, but it’s weird that this just started and it didn’t happen yesterday.
Note: I have tested for hardware problems and there were none.
If anyone knows has a better solution, please let me know.
Visio Online by Gliffy
Goodbye Visio
I am not an administrator of a big network anymore so I just don’t have the need for using Visio that often. In fact, I don’t even want it on my computer. If you are a subscriber of my blog, then you would know that I am trying to get back to basics with my blog and in reality, with my computer too.
I was recently working on a network audit job where I needed to explain the topology to the client. The way I would normally do this is with Visio, but I have not installed Visio on my machine and do not want to; So I decided to ask the answer machine, Google.
Hello Gliffy
I did a Google search for “visio online” and the first result, Gliffy. Look no further Google has the answer again for me. I guess I should just start using the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.
Within 15 minutes I had a network diagram that was very easy for anyone to understand. I didn’t have to install any software plus it was FREE…
Who needs software anymore?
I am moving forward with trying to move all my activities to the cloud so I can use my 3G wireless and be connected on the beach in Costa Rica!
