Well, for whatever reason AOR crashed when I tried to run the licensed version. Fortunately the kind souls at DataNumen let me upload my archive to their FTP server and did the repair for me.

When I asked why AOR wasn’t working here, I got the standard “must be your machine” answer:

Sorry but we don’t know the reason, as we cannot repeat the problem on our computers at all. We have used Advanced Outlook Repair to repair your file without any problems!

I guess the problem may be caused by incompabilities, but our computer installed with Vista and 2007 can also run correctly. So the problem may be related to other software or system confirgurations.

So with some good support here the results are what I was after.. though buyer beware.

I’m back in Tokyo after another week-plus in India where my X60s Thinkpad spent most of its time barfing up blue screen memory errors.

I’d seen this occasionally back in Boston and had been concerned that a bad memory chip was at fault. Nope. It’s the heat.

Here in Tokyo its almost as hot as India and I’ve got the same problem, unless I plug in this neat little portable notebook cooler I picked up. (Its really just a cheesy Chinese knockoff of the Jetart Xcool brand, but its compact and gets the job done. Let’s hope its not painted with lead…)
