Do you know if there is a way in Outlook 2007 to have a default send FROM address for certain people. i.e. If I email Jane Doe I send from my gmail addy by default. If I email John Flannigan I send from my yahoo addy by default.

Here is one that so far has our IT stumped. Before they take the computer out of the office (rendering the user, well, useless), I wanted to throw this out to the community here.

One of the machines has a message that keeps popping up (see screen shot below). Clicking any of the three buttons or the close window button in the upper right corner does nothing - the window remains. If he reboots, it is still there.

I ran Task Manager and was able to force quite the application once. But after rebooting, this trick did not work a second time

I looked on the interwebs and did not see anything (other than a couple of other peeps asking about the same thing with no answer).

The computer is running Windows 7 Professional.

Any ideas?

Did you Google for "coodinator.exe"? What you got there is a Trojan and not the good kind you can use on a date that goes well. Download Malwarebytes (the free version) and let it have a go at the PC.

I just got through doing that (Malwarebytes). It found nothing - log below

However, as I was writing this, I realized that I did not reboot after it updated itself after installation. Not sure if this makes a difference, but I will run a Quick Scan after it reboots and still nothing is found, I will run a Full Scan.

Well, the after-boot Quick Scan didn't turn up anything. The Full Scan gave one item that I am not sure if it is connected or not (see screen shot below).

I am giving up for tonight and I will discuss further with our IT people tomorrow.

Our IT people ran multiple different virus and malware programs to no avail - they could FIND it, but couldn't get rid of it. They backup up and wiped the drive and are restoring.

Since it was the person I had to let go last week, it is not as big of a rush thankfully.

I''m having a mystery issue with a computer connected too our TV via HDMI.

Had another computer connected to the same TV input, same HDMI cable, same settings on the TV input. Worked perfectly.

With this new one, everything works fine, until I change inputs on the tv. Once I change inputs, then come back to the input with the computer, it just displays a flashing staticy screen. I have to either disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable or cycle power on the TV. Doesn't seem to make any difference whether the computer has timed out the display or not.

Any ideas? Samsung tv, graphics chip is Intel on-board G4/G5 express.

Worst case I can scavenge the display adapter from the old system, but I'd rather not for a variety of reasons.

As stupid as it sounds, I have seen several general suggestions to simply reverse the HDMI cable. It didn't help on my issues, but it was somthing I securred from two separate sources over the weekend.

Other than that, I got nothing.

Now that you mention it, I have seen other issues in the past disappear by doing just that. Definitely worth a try.
