This happens when Windows Mail is using a different contacts list to the Windows Contacts – such as a newsgroup.

1. Open Windows Mail
2. Click Contacts (left hand side)
3. Click Import
4. Click From Windows Address Book

Windows Mail will then import all your contacts into the address book restart Windows Mail and you should now be able to display and compose messages to your contacts.

I have found this issue occurs commonly when upgrading from Outlook 2007 to 2010.

1. Open Outlook 2010
2. Click File (top left)
3. Click Account Settings
4. Click Account Settings
5. Click Change Folder
6. Click the “+” on the left of the folder name to reveal hidden subfolders.
7. Click Inbox
8. Click Ok
9. Close all open dialog and restart Outlook.

This issue commonly occurs in Microsoft Outlook when Outlook has reached its file size limit. To fix this you need to allow Outlook to use a larger sized table.

1. Launch Microsoft Outlook
2. Right click the folder list (on the left hand side) and left click Properties.
3. Click Advanced
4. Check “Allow upgrade to large tables”.
5. Click Ok
6. Click Ok
7. Restart Outlook

Note: You can also force emails to be deleted thereby clearing the Outlook table by selecting emails and select SHIFT-DEL at the same time.

In this guide I am using a media player called: VLC (VideoLAN) to do the conversion – it can be downloaded free “here”.

1. Once installed – open VLC media player
2. Put the DVD you want to rip the audio into your computer
3. Click Media (up-the-top)
4. Click Convert/Save
5. Click Disc (up-the-top)
6. Make sure the DVD is selected
7. Press Convert/Save (down-the-bottom)
8. Change the destination file field to the location where you would like the audio saved to.
9. In the profile drop down box select Audio –MP3
10. Click Start

Note: Make sure you have the right stream selected in step 6 – or you might just record the Menu sound – for example: VOB_1 compared to Vob_0.
