Reporting Services – Error When Starting Report Server

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I got this error when starting the report server:


System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout) at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start).

To fix I opened up a command prompt and typed:

C:\> cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -i
Start installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).
.............................................
Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).

Apparently I had some issue with my ASPNET account

How to Fix – xcopy insufficient memory error

Friday, January 1st, 2010

The best fix I found is a superior program xxcopy which has as the same switches as xcopy but doesn’t hit this error. So you just download it, install it, and change your xcopy command to xxcopy and everything just works.

Fixing Laptop Touchpad Tap to Click not Working

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

One day my laptop stopped responding when I tapped the mousepad to click. Everything else still worked. I have a Dell Vostro 1000 but this fix might work for any laptop with the synaptics touchpad.

I went into the settings and disabled the checkbox that said “touch check”. Perhaps whatever that feature was was getting overzealous. But it works now without that.

Fixing RDO Error (Exchange) When Trying to Move an Email

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I’m using Python win32 stuff to automate some Exchange tasks. This is an issue I ran into.

Here’s my one-way email correspondence with the authors that lists the error and how I fixed it:

This turned out to be a permissions issue. Sorry for the bother.

Hi there,

I’m trying to use the RDOMail object’s Move method:

Move(DestFolder)
Moves message to a new folder.
DestFolder – The destination folder (RDOFolder object).
Returns the new message (RDOMail object) in the destination folder.

However I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ““, line 1, in ?
File “>”, line 2, in Move
com_error: (-2147352567, ‘Exception occurred.’, (0, ‘Redemption.RDOMail’, ‘Error in IMAPITable.FindRow(PR_SEARCH_KEY): MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND’, None, 0, -2147221233), None)

I’m simply calling e.Move(rdoFolder)

Where e is an email message and rdoFolder is an RDO folder of the folder I want to move the message to. Let me know if it would help to see my code.

Thanks in advance for the help.
