Fixing Excel 2007 crash

Been upgrading since my last post so have some new solutions for some unsolved system problems.
Simpthoms:
First is Excel... after new system installation , installed Office 2007 enterprise and found that everything work fine but excel. When I stat it and open file or double click Excel file (no matter what kind of) Excel start...open files.. and crash closing app.
Very strange because I had the same installation on same system (Vista 64 SP2) and it works without problems. So I start digging.
Trick with DDE check mark doesn't work - well it stop crashing but more often file not found problem appears. I saw several solutions on MS forums but most of them regarding Excel 2003 and mess up with previous installations - not my case anyway!
Analyzing situation I clear understood that the only problem can be are third-party add-ins that somehow incorrectly initializing by excel. So , I have only 2 of them - Adobe Acrobat PDF add-in, and Asus (Widcomm) Bluetooth send add-in.

Solution:
Removing registry entries not a good idea since Office 2007 have advanced settings to manage add-ins. Just disable in Excel settings Bluetooth add-in startup and my case solved! (Also you can try to disable other if it doesn't help). Hope it was helpful!

Intel I218V and Intel I211-AT driver solution for Windows Server 2012 R2

Image
 Its appears to be a common problem with this network adapters and server versions of Windows. This post solves problem with Server 2012R2, but it can be used for other versions of Windows Server i.e 2008, 2008R2, 2012 and 2016. There are now official drivers for Intel I211-AT and Intel I218V. But there are drivers for same adapters with different letter indexes. Idea is simple - Intel separates chips for desktop and server versions, forcing  to setup more expensive versions of this chips for servers. I`m not sure if there any serious difference, but  Asus  use desktop versions for their motherboards since they targets for desktop segment. So its incorrect to blame Asus for not supporting Server versions of Windows on support page. At the same time many users would like to install Windows  server  OS on their Asus motherboards. Funny situation - Gigabyte uses cheap Realtek network adapters on their motherboards and have no problems. But Intel adapters are more powerful.

How to choose printer for everyday use ? Information for customers who going to buy printer but hard to choose the right one.

At first I thought it will be comprehensive guide in buying printer for home users, but soon I found out that it is a very complex article. So I will try to write only summary to  provide you with basic ideas how to select printers so this post will be  universal and easily  understandable.    In this post I am gonna write only about ink jet printers. It is common type of printers people buying for home use because of price , ability to print in color and ability to print photos. If you not going to do color printing I guess you will buy laser jet printer without any doubts.    I got my first ink jet printer in early 90s - it was Soviet black and white printer MC6313 - it has very compact size even by modern standards. Huge difference in quality and noise to matrix printers that was popular at that period of time.    Soon first color ink jet  printer arrives - Epson Stylus Color, then was Color II and after that time - color printing at home goes cheaper and cheaper and becomes m

CoolerMaster Cosmos II and Corsair H115i Pro installation and tips.

Image
Searching for the better way to install this liquid cooling system, Corsair H115i Pro,  in my Cosmos II case, I found the most efficient and quiet way. At first sight, there should be no obstacles with this since this case has an option to install 140 mm fans on top of this.  Since  H115i Pro is closed loop system, so the only way is to install the radiator beneath the top side of the case and put fans outside on top. First of all, I suggest to cut out holes on the top side for better airflow of 140 mm fans, By the way, Cooler Master in their Neptune case they made a grill instead of fan holes - so you can use 140 mm full power! So I cut out to extend the fan holes for larger fans. This makes fans work more efficient and as a result lower fans speed. I kept screw holes for 120 mm fans in case if I someday will change cooling system.    You could not install fans on radiator inside since additional power connectors on most motherboards ( at least on Asus boards)
