Pogo game asking to install java every time - Windows 8

1. Remove all Java versions

2. Reset IE settings

3. Install Java Version 6.38 here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp

   - There are some compatibility issue with pogo games and IE10

4. Install/Use Google Chrome or Firefox
   - From experience Chome and Java 6.38 on Windows 8 will play any pogo games

5. You might need to install "J2SE Development Kit
   - at least this version or higher

Outlook 2007 error message: "the messaging interface has returned an unknown error. if the problem persists, restart outlook."

When outlook 2007 was opened this message would appear: "the messaging interface has returned an unknown error. if the problem persists, restart outlook."


Issue was resolved by:

1. Control Panel > programs and features

2. Select MS Office version that has outlook installed on your PC

3. Select change 

4. Select repair

5. Reboot PC


If that doesn't fix it, try using scanpst.exe located at:



<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12
or
<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
or
<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office(x86)\Office14
