Problem:
Using version 14.0.4536.1000 of Outlook 2010 and I cannot seem to be able to call Contacts using the ‘Call’ button anymore.
The TAPI2 driver is still installed and working properly.
When I select a phone number on a contact and click the Call button, nothing happens – I.e. I do not get the ‘New Call’ dialog of Outlook 2007 that allowed you to see the number being called and start/end the call.
Solution:
There are three steps:
- Add the following key to the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Call Integration
- Add a dword-value: TAPIOVERRIDE and set it to 1
- Restart Outlook.
In addition you can customize the ribbon to have the Call-button directly on first sight.
Just right click the start(contacts) ribbon and say Customize the ribbon. Add a new group to the Start(contacts) ribbon rename it (i used TAPI) and add the Call-Command to that group. A possible position for the new group is after the Delete group. Worked fine for me

When you trying to set the IP address on a network adapter
The IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter Name of adapter. Name of adapter is hidden from the network and Dial-up Connections folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a legacy adapter that is not working. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and they become active, only one of them will use this address.
This may result in incorrect system configuration. Do you want to enter a different IP address for this adapter in the list of IP addresses in the advanced dialog box?
To resolve this problem, uninstall the ghosted network adapter from the registry using one of the following methods:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
- Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1, and then press ENTER.
- Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER.
- Click View, and then click Show Hidden Devices.
- Expand the Network Adapters tree.
- Right-click the dimmed network adapter, and then click Uninstall.

Windows offers the ability to save passwords for web sites and network resources. This can be very convenient as opposed to remembering and entering the username and password each time you need access. If like I have just had you need to remove one of them then this snippet of information will help you.

By default, Windows 7 keeps the Windows Live Messenger icon on the Taskbar instead of moving to the system tray. If you want it off of your Taskbar so that it behaves like it did before, you can easily place it on the system tray, giving you more room on your Taskbar for other applications and files.
1. Close Windows Live Messenger.
2. Open Computer and navigate to: C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
or For those that have 64-bit the path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger"
3. Right-click on msnmsgr.exe and select Properties.
4. Select the Compatibility tab.
5. Go to the Compatibility mode section and check the Run this program in compatibility mode for checkbox.
6. Use the dropdown and select Windows Vista.
7. Click OK.
Now when your chat client is active, but not in use, you will find it in the system tray
