AVG Installer Error Code 0xc0070643

This error is caused by the new version of AVG not being able to remove a previous version.

If you open C:\Program Files you will see an AVG folder.

When you try to manually remove this you will get an access denied error.

Either remove this using the AVG Removal tool or via the command line:

Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of a permission setting on your network

When you try to email share a calendar in Outlook 2013 you get the following error:

“Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of a permission setting on your network”

This can be caused by a formatting error in the To: box – instead of entering the email address try entering the name of the person or click the To… button.

WordPress Feed Invalid Char

When you open your WordPress sites RSS feed in the browser you get the following error:

“WordPress Feed Invalid Char”

The error will also show you the the line number of the error.

View the source of the feed and go to the line of the error. Find the corresponding post in your WordPress admin.

Copy the title and body into notepad (note this will remove all formatting).

You will be able to see the non UTF8 characters in notepad and be able to delete them. You can then copy and paste the problem text back into WordPress.

The offending characters won’t show in the WordPress admin hence having to copy into notepad.

Microsoft Office 2013 Will Only Open in Safe Mode

When you go to open Microsoft Office 2013 it keeps saying that the program failed to open. When you try to open the next time it will only open in safe mode, this works without a problem.

1. Check that you have no com addons enabled (go to options > advanced)

2. If this doesn’t work try updating your graphics drivers.

In our case we had a Toshiba Dynadock that was replicating the screen, updating the drivers for this fixed the problem.
