Windows / microsoft.explorer.notification in Windows 10
« on: October 25, 2017, 09:18:47 am »
With the latest Windows 10 version these seem to be popping up annoyingly as there is no explanation as to what they refer to.

You will find reference to them in the Registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications\Backup

To turn them off go into File Explorer then Options. Go into Folder Options and View.

Remove the tick from Show sync provider notifications and Apply.

Perhaps Microsoft will tell us what they are doing?

Windows / Windows RT - Your purchase couldn't be completed
« on: October 15, 2017, 09:46:14 am »
Annoying issue when trying to install a new app.

You may get an error 0x80072ee2. It will also say that your internet connection is slow.

Go into the Troubleshooter. Go into the Windows Update. Let it run. The chances are that it will find nothing. Take the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR option. This will fix database errors. Try again.

You may need to repeat this more than once.

Loadmaster / New feature - sync TPN gazetteer - 05/10/2017
« on: October 05, 2017, 10:51:56 am »
This now appears in Setup/Networks/TPN/TPN Settings/Gazetteer.

Loadmaster maintains a local copy of the TPN gazetteer so that it can still route freight in the event of a total communications failure.

This option synchronises the local gazetteer with the TPN master copy.

Note: during normal operations the depot is looked up dynamically every time and so will be 100% accurate.

Sameday Express / My computer cannot see the data but others can
« on: September 22, 2017, 10:18:03 am »
This is usually associated with Mapped Drives.

It means that the drive mapping on the computers are different and point to different places.

Go to the one that is working and make a note of the data directory which is displayed in the lower left of the screen. Now go into My Computer and find this directory.

Look at the size of the FIC files especially JOB.

On the non-working computer do the same. JOB.FIC will be a different size and probably very small (ie. empty).

Remap the drive or search for the correct directory.

Loadmaster / Not getting any data from TPN suddenly - 20/09/2017
« on: September 21, 2017, 05:08:21 pm »
TPN have changed the IP addresses of their servers.

Check that tpnconnect gets a login web page in your browser.

This is a DNS issue. Check your DNS server.

Get to a Command Prompt and type -

ipconfig /flushdns

There may be a few quirks while the site settles down.

Windows / Outlook problems - 18/09/2017
« on: September 18, 2017, 09:42:50 pm »
Microsoft have reported issues with Outlook. Mail gets stuck in Drafts instead of getting posted.

Apparently the problem has existed for a few days.

You may get an error message and the program stops. It may occur immediately after installing a new version of the program or you log onto Windows as a different user.

It's due to Windows security and means that the program was previously installed under a particular user and that's not you!

There are two solutions -

1.  Go into My Computer then Local Disk C: and the folder ProgramData (not Program Files) and you will find a directory called ZiPZAP Computers Limited.

(Note that ProgramData is a hidden folder and you may have to unhide it. In Windows 10 click on Local Disk C: then View and Options. The setting is on the View tab.)

Enter this directory and you will see a folder called TPNSOAP. Right-click on this and choose PROPERTIES.

Click on the SECURITY tab. Half way down you will see a button that says EDIT. Click this.

You will get a new screen with a list of users. Click on the ADD button.

Add a user called Everyone

Hit the CHECK button. It will be accepted. Click on Everyone in the table. Put a tick in Full Control at the bottom and hit the APPLY button.

Now OK and come out. You can now access the system as another user.

or you can -

2. De-install TPN SOAP. Browse to C:\ProgramData\ZiPZAP Computers Limited\ and delete the TPNSOAP folder you find here. You may need to authorise it as ADMINISTRATOR.

Re-install TPN SOAP

You will have to go into Setup and complete this again. There is an install guide on our web site in the same folder as the program.

Windows / Inaccessible boot device - Windows 10
« on: September 11, 2017, 09:25:11 am »
The computer boots to the blue screen of death with the message 'Inaccessible boot device'

Windows 10 uses multiple partitions and the C: drive you see is not really the boot partition. For some reason it's not loading the operating system.

It is a scary message. A reboot may just take you to the same thing. Do not follow the advice that you get from the internet and start reinstalling Windows. It's a poor solution.

Don't forget that if you reinstall then you will lose everything.

Reboot again and try hitting F8. See if you can get into a Command Prompt screen. If you can you may find you end up at an X: prompt with a few directories in it. You will find there is a C: drive but it's not your normal C: drive. If you look at D: then you may find all your files and folders here.

Run sfc /scannow on any drives that you find. It may say that it has found nothing.

Reboot again. Does the computer now magically reboot?

Worth a try.

This may be connected with pressing reset when the computer hangs for a very long time on startup when it's actually doing an update.
