I got this error while searching from the address bar.

How to get around this problem without typing the characters?

I opened a tab and went to the Google main page. Started typing in my search term. No problem because I have instant search turned on. As soon as I click on the search button I get the message again. Just don’t hit search or enter.

I just got this error when I was trying build a project.

error CS1668 : Warning as error : Invalid search path ‘c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\PlatformSDK\lib’ specified in ‘LIB environment variable’ — ‘The system cannot find the path specified. ‘

I remember seeing this error before and fixed it by faking the directories. This time I know why it happened. I just uninstalled the Silverlight 2.0 SDK. I don’t need it anymore. I have no idea why the Silverlight 2.0 SDK would delete this folder and contents. If it did, why didn’t it remove it from the LIB environment variable? Reboot didn’t help. I could fix it by updating the LIB variable or just create the directory structure.

I am getting this error from my Windows Phone 7 (Samsung Focus). Just for that reason I updated the freaking phone to no-do to no avail. The router is just fine. My laptops new and old running Windows XP and Windows 7 connects fine. iPhone and iPad also connects without any problem. Just this one.

Since I don’t know what the phone is trying to do and what the error means, I really cannot troubleshoot either. None of the answers I found online did work.

Update: I kept getting this error at free WiFi hot spots in airports while traveling.

I doubt that is where Laura lives.

On Windows 7, if I check and uncheck turn on clear type, I see an immediate difference in how Outlook display the fonts. When I go to Visual Studio 2010, I don’t see a difference. This makes me think that Visual Studio 2010 is doing something differently from Outlook 2010 with regard to clear type.

Just to make sure that it is not the font that is causing this, I used Segoe UI in Visual Studio 2010.
