Windows blue screen fix

My Windows Phone 8 OS-Version: 8.10.12397.895 startet to throw error 86000106 when syncing with my companys Open-XChange groupware server.

Found similar issues described in a forum, but that did not help for me:

The fixes suggested to change sync interval from "based on usage" to "manual".

How-I-fixed-it:
I deleted the particular Exchange ActiveSync Account on my phone and added it again. The account syncs OK since this.

I wanted to connect my Windows 8 calendar, mail and contacts app to my companys OpenXChange-Server.
How i fixed it:
Like described in: http://software.open-xchange.com/OX6/doc/BusinessMobilityOXtender/OX6-OXtender-for-Business-Mobility-English.pdfi found out, that it works like this for Windows 8 as well!
Windows Phone 7 includes a pre-installed Exchange ActiveSync client, with which you can synchronize your emails, contacts and appointments between your mobile phone and the Groupware Server.
Note: This guide refers to a non-modified version of Windows Phone 7. The icons and names on your mobile phone may be different from this guide. In this case, refer to your mobile phone documentation or ask your cell phone provider.
How to configure your Windows Phone 7 mobile phone:
1. In the main menu, select the right arrow icon or scroll to the left to access the application list.
2. Select Settings. Choose email & accounts.
3. Select add an account. Select the Outlook account type.
4. Enter the E-Mail address you use for the Groupware Server. Enter the password you use for the Groupware Server. Note: The entries are case-sensitive. Select sign in. 5. Enter your access data (username and domain) for the Groupware Server. If your username contains the @ character, enter the characters preceding @ in the Username field, the characters following @ in the Domain field. Example: For the username mike@ox.io enter mike as user and ox.io as domain. If your username does not contain the @ character, enter the username in the Username field and defaultcontext in the Domain field. Select Sign in.
6. A notification message is shown. Select Advanced. On the next page select show all settings.
7. Enter the server name (hostname, FQDN) of the Groupware Server in the Server field. If your server uses encryption, enable Server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection.
8. Check the settings. Select sign in. Result: Your mobile phone is configured to use the Grouwpare Server. The initial synchronization automatically starts immediately. Depending on the data volume and the network connection, the first synchronization might take a while.

Over the last days, the battery of my Lumia 920 was empty much faster than i was used to. Usually it lasted y couple of days, but now its empty after 1 day.

I found the right hints here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpupdate/lumia-920-battery-issues/94655503-118c-4dfe-b433-08c23b8140c6

I fixed it by disabled a couple of background tasks. I also found out, that some of those Background tasks were added by recently installed apps.

Go to Settings->Apps->Background Tasks to see the list of apps that work in the background and choose the ones the disable.

Recently I changed the password of my WebDav-Account. After that, Outlook stopped to publish my calendar to the Server. I tried to re-publish the calendar, but Outlook did not prompt me for the username / Password and still told me "Login failed".

How-I-fixed-it:
I went to system control -> user accounts -> credential manager -> windows logon credentials
There i found the setting "MSOutlookGeneric - MyWebDavServer". Open the tab and use "edit" to Change the credentials or delete the entry to let Outook prompt you for the login credentials again.

In German / Deutsch:
In der Systemsteuerung findet sich unter Benutzerkonten -> Anmeldeinformationsverwaltung -> Windows-Anmeldeinformationen "MSOutlookGeneric - MeinWebDavServer". Den Tab ausklappen unter unter "Bearbeiten" das Passwort eingeben.

I was behind a Firewall that blocked outgoing mails. I got a mail stuck in my Windows 8 Metro Mail App outbox. The app did not allow me to delete it from the folder.

Today my firefox 33 did not start any more. In task manager the process was shown, but with memory = 0 and CPU = 0. But the HDD usage of my computer went up to 100% and it was fully blocked for everything else. Waiting for a couple of minutI es did not change anything, also rebooting did not help

How-I-fixed-it:
Since Internet Explorer since worked on the computer, i went to https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/ and installed the latest version of the firefox browser. After this, firefox worked fine again.

I just upgraded my HP Pavilion P7-1258 Desktop PC to Windows 8.1 and after that I didnt have any sound. 
When I tried to install the IDT High Definition Audio Drivers for Windows 8 from the HP website , I got an error about having the wrong operating system because its checking for Window 8.0 and not 8.1.

The trick to getting around this is to let SP59424.exe expand into the Temp folder (and then leave the installer running so that the temp files dont get deleted) and then run the actual install from there.

So go to %temp% and look for the newest folder in there.
Then inside that folder you will find a src folder and inside that should be a setup file, run this and you will be golden.




Here is information about the driver Im using:






 

Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

In order to change it back to Documents, here are the steps.
From the Desktop bring up the charms and click Change PC settings at the bottom.

 

Then choose Skydrive and File Storage and turn the “Save Documents to Skydrive by default” slider to off

 

 

 

 

According to Brother, ControlCenter 3 does not support Windows 8. But i like the scan multiple pages into a PDF function of it, so i wanted it back on Windows 8 as well.

How-i-fixed-it:

I downloaded the Windows 7 Version here:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/eu/de/de/dlf/download_index.html?reg=eu&c=de&lang=de&prod=dcp560cn_all&dlid=&flang=Deutsch&os=93&type2=-1

I decompresses itself into a local folder. Then I set the compatibily mode of the "Setup.exe" to "Windows 7" and installed the Software.

To make the scan to email function working with my Outlook 2010, i also downloaded and installed the Update Tool for ControlCenter3 from here:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/eu/de/de/dlf/dlf/000000/003100/dlf003176.html?reg=eu&c=de&lang=de&prod=dcp560cn_all&type2=2&os=93&flang=17&dlid=dlf003176

With the software installed, i was able to scan multiple plages into a single PDF without problems.
