Microsoft Office Outlook Connector 12.1 Beta 2 Crashes Thai Language Input in Outlook 2007

It's been more than a year since I last blogged. I've been busy with work and also don't know what to blog. Here comes my new findings:

Microsoft Office Outlook Connector 12.1 Beta 2 + Outlook 2007 + Thai Language Input = CRASH

This has also been proven here.

I downloaded the Outlook Connector the other night for improved supports to Windows Live Hotmail -- only to find that whenever I start typing e-mails in Thai, i.e., hit the "language switch" key Outlook simply crashes!

I googled for "outlook 2007 crash language switch" this morning and find someone having the same Outlook Connector insta.led and the same problem as mine. So, Outlook Connector is most likely the cause of trouble.

I uninstalled Outlook Connector this morning and, yes, typing in Thai doesn't crash Outlook 2007 anymore!

Over six months later, and this problem is still there.

Switch to Thai language, and Outlook dies.

It's not only Thai, it's French as well. I am pretty surprised that I would be able to find people with the same problem.

Same here. It seems like Outlook Connector causes Outlook to crash when switching keyboard input languages using shortcut like grave accent. I've heard that using Alt+Shift to switch language will not make Outlook crash. Personally, I manually click at the language bar to change language. The workaround works, but it just sucks when you accidentally use grave accent out of habit.

Thank you, Knight. Outlook 2007 crashes again today and I'm following your advice!

Tips: Mac OS X: Full ANSI Color Support in Terminal.app

I'm trying to switch my Java development platform from Windows XP to Mac OS X Tiger. Wondering how to colorize the Terminal screen, I spent some time googling. From the discussions at the end of this page: macosxhints.com - Add full ANSI color support to Terminal.app Here's a summary of how to enable it: With bash shell as default, simply add export TERM=xterm-color [I prefer this for Linux compatibility] or export TERM=dtterm in the ~/.profile (single-user) or /etc/profile (system-wide) Color terminal is enabled. Use ' ls -G ' (the -G enables color output) to test. Add alias ls='ls -G' in the profile file for convenience. Keywords: mac-os-x , unix , terminal , shell , tips

iTunes: Error 261 while Burning Data CDs/DVDs

Apple Discussions: 261 error while burning MP3 CD. I usually put an aphostrophe (') in the name of playlists and was having error 261 burning CD/DVD data discs since iTunes 5.1. Upgrading to iTunes 6.0 for Windows doesn't help. I was burning a music DVD this morning and had Error 261 again. So I went to Apple iTunes Discussions site and look for a thread on this. Viola! There are many people having the same problem as mine. The thread ends at a point where someone removing ampersands, the '&' symbols, from their playlists and could avoid this error. I tried removing aphostrophes from the name of my playlist because aphostrophe falls into the kind of non-alphabet characters that needs escaping in some programming languages. It works!!
