Outlook 2010 Scroll Not Working with Logitech MX Revolution

For the past few days, using the scrolling mouse wheel did not work with Outlook 2010. After completing some basic verifications, I checked to see if an update was available for my Logitech MX Revolution. Hello.

After downloading and installing the update, both the SetPoint software and the driver for the mouse were updated.

All is now good in "scrolling land!"

Outlook 2010 Keep Source Formatting Lost

Issue: "Keep Source Formatting" paste option lost in Outlook 2010. Also, when replying to an e-mail message originally sent as HTML, the reply defaults to "Plain Text" only.

Solution: Uninstall the "Skype Click to Call" program.

Last week I installed Skype on my Windows 7 box (32-Bit). Little did I realize that installing Skype with "Skype Click to Call" would break Outlook 2010. I had been struggling with finding a solution. Thankfully, some wise MVPs shared the solution which I found at the link below.

Thank goodness and thank you to
Ulodesk who shared the solution!

Skype: Publicly Displayed Birth Date


Issue: Skype profile displays my birth date publicly.


In the application and on the web, there is no way to change it from public to private. But there is a workaround.


Solution: The answer is provided here by elainem77 on the Skype community forum: http://community.skype.com/t5/General-Discussion/Birthday/m-p/261092


Basically, there is a blank at the very top of the date picker for each field. In either the application or on the web control panel, above 1900 is a blank space, select that, repeating for the day and month.
