Error messages in Outlook

2011-11-08T14:36:00.000-08:00

When you have a problem using Outlook, you usually get an error message which looks like this:

The key information comes in the error message in the form of an error number. In the above example, the error number is 0x800CCC92.
If you get such an error message locate the error number below on this page and follow the guide to fix it.

Common error numbers

Error 0x800CCC91	Your Username was rejected
Error 0x800CCC92	Your Password was rejected
Error 0x800CCC7D	The server does not support a SSL connection
Error 0x800CCC0D	The host could not be found
Error 0x800CCC0E	The connection to the server has failed
Error 0x800CCC0F	Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection
Error 0x800CCC79	The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server
Error 0x8004210a	The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server
Error 0x800ccc19	A time-out occurred while communicating with the server

Error 0x800CCC91

This error message is caused by the fact that you have set an antivirus program to scan all emails automatically.
Changing the settings within Outlook will not solve the issue. You need to go to your antivirus program and change the settings there.
To learn how to do this in Norton Antivirus click here.

Error 0x800CCC92

Check your Outlook settings, making sure that your POP3 and SMTP usernames, passwords and servers are correct.
If you are still getting this error, it is possible that your password has somehow become corrupted. Try changing it in your account's control panel.
Also, make sure that your account and domain name are still active.

Error 0x800CCC7D

You get this error because your Outlook is set up to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which we don't use.
To fix this problem, open Outlook and follow this steps:

Errors 0x800CCC0D, 0x800CCC0E and 0x800CCC0F

The client connects to a port that is blocked or unavailable on the mail server. If you are attempting to send a message, the blocked port is 25 (SMTP), and if you are attempting to retrieve a message, the blocked port is 110 (POP3). Refer to the error message for the protocol and port numbers.

First check your Outlook settings, making sure that your POP3 and SMTP usernames, passwords and servers are correct. Also, make sure that your account and domain name are still active.
If the settings are correct and your account and domain name are active, one possibility is that you may not be connected to the Internet or the connection is bad. To test your connection follow the procedures below :

For incoming mail server (port 110)

110" and press Enter. You will then be connected to the email server
2. Type in "USER" followed by your email address (example: USER info@hostaggio.com) and then press Enter. You should get a "+OK"
3. Type in "PASS" followed by your password (example: PASS secretpass) and press Enter. If it is correct, you will get another "+OK"
4. If you can do this, you have connected to the mail server, so the problem lies somewhere with your Outlook
If you get "-ERR authorization failed" at step 4, it is possible that your password has somehow become corrupted. Try changing it in your account's control panel and try again.

For outgoing mail server (port 25)

25" and press Enter. You will then be connected to the email server
2. If you see "220 mail.somedomain.com ESMTP", you have connected to the mail server, so the problem lies somewhere with your Outlook
In the case you receive "connection refused" message or timeout, you need to contact your ISP with the request to open port 25 in their firewall (which they will probably not do). If they don't want to open the port you have to use their SMTP server for your outgoing mail connection. You can obtain their SMTP settings from either their tech support or possibly their web site.
The following service providers are currently known to block SMTP connections and require your use of their SMTP server: 1st.net, ATT WorldNet, Earthlink, Lineone.net, MSN, Mindspring, Sympatico, Bellsouth.

If you are running a firewall software, configure it to grant access to the Internet for the following file: Msimn.exe
If you have Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall read this and this information on Symantec's web site.

If you have the Norton Antivirus e-mail scanning feature enabled, read this information on Symantec's web site.

Error 0x800CCC79

The cause of this error is due to the fact that the SMTP server requires authentication.

Check your Outlook settings, making sure that your SMTP username, password, and server are correct.
Then follow this procedure to make sure you set up Outlook to use SMTP authentication :

Also, you may get this error because the server does not recognise the senders email address as being valid.
To check your email address follow this procedure :

Errors 0x8004210a and 0x800ccc19

This problem occurs when you have Norton Antivirus installed with "Scan incoming Email" and "Scan outgoing Email" turned on. Note that this may also be true when you use McAfee software products. To prevent this problem when you use Norton Antivirus and Outlook, follow the steps below to turn off e-mail scanning:

Outlook Command line

2011-10-28T14:20:00.000-07:00

When you’re having problems with Outlook you may be told to start Outlook using a specific command line switch.

To do this:

Close Outlook.

At the Start menu, Run command (or open the Run command by pressing Windows Key () + R) type:

Outlook /switch

Then click OK to start Outlook. (There is a space between outlook and /.)

This screenshot shows how you enter it, using the /cleanreminders switch as an example.

Occasionally you’ll need to use the full path to Outlook, then the command line looks like this:

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe” /switch

Notes:

Before using a command line switch, you need to close Outlook and verify it’s closed in Task Manager’s Processes tab.

Paths that include spaces between words must be enclosed in quotation marks (“) and are case sensitive.

If you use Vista or Windows 7, you can type the command line in the Start Search field on the Start menu.

You’ll need the full path if you want to create desktop shortcuts using a switch, such as to open Outlook to a specific folder:

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe” /select outlook:calendar

Frequently used Switches:

This group of switches are the most commonly used switches. (A complete list of switches is in the next section.)

NTLDR is Missing

2011-05-16T11:49:00.000-07:00

NTLDR is Missing.

Issue:

NTLDR is Missing.

Related errors:

Below are the full error messages that may be seen when the computer is booting.

NTLDR is Missing
Press any key to restart

Boot: Couldn't find NTLDR
Please insert another disk

NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl Alt Del to Restart

Cause:

Computer is booting from a non-bootable source.
Computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS.
Corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file.
Misconfiguration with the boot.ini file.
Attempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME computer that is using FAT32.
New hard disk drive being added.
Corrupt boot sector / master boot record.
Seriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Loose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable.

Solutions:

Computer is booting from a non-bootable source

Many times this error is caused when the computer is attempting to boot from a non-bootable floppy disk or CD-ROM. First verify that no floppy diskette is in the computer, unless you are attempting to boot from a diskette.

If you are attempting to boot from a floppy diskette and are receiving this error message it is likely that the diskette does not have all the necessary files and/or is corrupt.

If you are attempting to install Windows XP or Windows 2000 and are receiving this error message as the computer is booting verify that your computer BIOS has the proper boot settings. For example, if you are attempting to run the install from the CD-ROM make sure the CD-ROM is the first boot device, and not the hard disk drive.

Second, when the computer is booting you should receive the below prompt.

Press any key to boot from the CD

Important: When you see this message press any key such as the Enter key immediately, otherwise it will try booting from the hard drive and likely get the NTLDR error again.

Note: If you are not receiving the above message and your BIOS boot options are set properly it's also possible that your CD-ROM drive may not be booting from the CD-ROM properly. Verify the jumpers are set properly on the CD-ROM drive. Additional information about checking the CD-ROM drive connections can be found on document CH000213.

Additional information: This error has also been known to occur when a memory stick is in a card reader and the computer is attempting to boot from it. If you have any type of card reader or flash reader make sure that no memory stick is inside the computer.

Computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS

Verify that your computer hard disk drive is properly setup in the BIOS / CMOS setup. Improper settings can cause this error. Additional information on how to enter the BIOS / CMOS setup can be found in document CH000192.

Corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file

Windows 2000 users
Windows XP users

Windows 2000 users

If your computer is using Microsoft Windows 2000 and you are encountering the NTLDR error. Create the below boot.ini file on the floppy diskette drive.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

Copy the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files from another computer using the same operating system. Both of these files are located in the root directory of the primary hard disk drive. For example, C:\NTLDR and C:\NTDETECT.COM should be the locations of these files on many computers.

Please keep in mind that these files are hidden system files, if you need additional help with viewing hidden files in Windows please see document CH000516.

Once these files have been copied to a floppy diskette reboot the computer and copy the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files to the root directory of the primary hard disk drive. Below is an example of what commonly should be performed from the A:\> drive.

copy ntldr c:
copy ntdetect.com c:

After the above two files have been copied, remove the floppy diskette and reboot the computer.

Windows XP users

Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is "e." This letter may be different on your computer.

copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.

Misconfiguration with the boot.ini file

Edit the boot.ini on the root directory of the hard disk drive and verify that it is pointing to the correct location of your Windows operating system and that the partitions are properly defined. Additional information about the boot.ini can be found on document CH000492.

Attempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME computer that is using FAT32

If you are getting this error message while you are attempting to upgrade to Windows 2000 or Windows XP from Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME running FAT32 please try the below recommendations.

Boot the computer with a Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME bootable diskette.
At the A:\> prompt type:

sys c:
After pressing enter you should receive the "System Transferred" message. Once this has been completed remove the floppy diskette and reboot the computer.

New hard disk drive being added

If you are attempting to add a new hard disk drive to the computer make sure that drive is a blank drive. Adding a new hard disk drive to a computer that already has Windows installed on it may cause the NTLDR error to occur.

If you are unsure if the new drive is blank or not try booting from a bootable diskette and format the new hard disk drive.

Corrupt boot sector / master boot record

It's possible your computer's hard disk drive may have a corrupt boot sector and/or master boot record. These can be repaired through the Microsoft Windows Recovery console by running the fixboot and fixmbr commands.

Additional information and help in getting into the Microsoft Windows Recovery console can be found on document CH000627.

Seriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP

If you have tried each of the above recommendations that apply to your situation and you continue to experience this issue it is possible you may have a seriously corrupted version of Microsoft Windows. Therefore we would recommend you reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

If you are encountering this issue during your setup you may wish to completely erase your computer hard disk drive and all of its existing data and then install Microsoft Windows 2000 / Windows XP. Additional information about erasing the computer and starting over can be found on document CH000186.

Loose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable

This issue has been known to be caused by a loose or fault IDE/EIDE cable. If the above recommendation does not resolve your issue and your computer hard disk drive is using an IDE or EIDE interface. Verify the computer hard disk drive cable is firmly connected by disconnected and reconnecting the cable.

If the issue continues it is also a possibility that the computer has a faulty cable, try replacing the hard disk drive cable with another cable and/or a new cable.

Change Power Button Action In Windows 7 Start Menu

You must have seen that in new Windows 7 edition, the option to shut down the system is given at the bottom but if we want to switch the user, log off the windows then we will have to click the arrow sign in front of it and then we can access those options. Today i will tell you some of the methods through which you can easily change that option in the bottom of the start menu.

Many of the users do not prefer to shutdown their system, as they either hibernate their system or they put their system in sleep mode. Theses users have loads of work on their system so they prefer not waste time on booting the system again, shutting down the system becomes very rare for them and it is inconvenient for them to see that Shutdown option in the bottom of the start menu instead of Sleep or Hibernate or Log Off option.

Just follow the steps mentioned below and then you will be easily able to change that option from Shut down to any other desirable option.

Click on the Start option to open the Start menu. It will appear as shown below, wherein you will be able to see the shout down option at the bottom.
Now right click on that option, a single options named as properties will appear (as shown below in the snapshot).
Now click that properties option, an application window named as Start Menu and Taskbar properties will appear which be analogous to the one shown below. You will see that this window will be containing three tabs which are toolbar, taskbar and Start Menu.
Under the Start Menu tab you can see an option named as Power Button action and in front of it the initial status will be Shutdown which can be changed by selecting any of the desirable option available in the scroll down menu (as shown in the snapshot below).
Select any of the option and then click OK, which will confirm the change and when next time you will open the start menu, the change will be similar to the one shown below in the snapshot (as i selected the hibernate option).

I hope that the above mentioned steps will help you to solve the problem mentioned in the first paragraph. Go for and try it and if you have a better solution then please put it down in the comments as it will be a pleasure of ours to share it.
