Error Message: 8447: Internet Server Error

SYMPTOMS

When you run ASP pages using a Microsoft Remote Data Service (RDS) connection to a database, the following error message may appear in the browser:

        8447: Internet Server Error

The same error message appears if you run the Adctest.asp sample file.

 

CAUSE

This error message may be caused by one of the following:

•	The virtual directory for RDS in the Default Web Site has been removed. -OR-
•	RDS was not installed properly.

 

WORKAROUND

If the physical files for RDS still exist and only the virtual directory for RDS was accidentally removed, use the following steps to restore the RDS virtual directory:

1.	Re-create the virtual directory named MSADC in the Default Web Site using the wizard. Map this virtual directory to <drive letter>:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Msadc. Enable Read and Execute (including Script) permissions.
2.	Right-click the virtual directory that you just created, and the select Properties. On the Virtual Directory tab, select Application Settings, and then click the Remove to delete any name in the Name box and point the application starting point to the Default Web Site. The Create button will now be available.
3.	Stop and start the Default Web Site.
4.	In Windows NT Explorer, check the physical file and folder permissions for Program Files\Common Files\System\Msadc. The minimum permissions should be Everyone: READ.
5.	Test ASP with RDS. You can use the Adctest.asp sample file included with the IIS in the <drive letter>:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Msadc\Samples directory.

If RDS is not installed correctly or the physical files in the Program Files\Common Files\System\Msadc directory are corrupted, RDS can be installed independently. For information on RDS, please see the following Web page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnoledb/html/usingthecustomizationhandlerfeatureinrds21.asp (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnoledb/html/usingthecustomizationhandlerfeatureinrds21.asp)

The version included with the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP) is Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 1.5 with RDS version 1.5. Because RDS is part of MDAC, it is recommended that you upgrade MDAC if RDS needs to be reinstalled.

Internet Explorer Favorites are missing/empty

If u familiar with registry maybe u can try this.. i just found from internet..

Internet Explorer Favorites are missing/empty

When you click the Favorites menu in Internet Explorer, all of your favorite URLs may be missing. This might happen if the Favorites Shell Folder is set incorrectly. Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

For Windows XP

[HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

Set the Favorites path to %USERPROFILE%\Favorites

The above should be a REG_EXPAND_SZ value, not REG_SZ

The Favorites Shell Folders path reverts back ?

Sometimes, the Shell Folders path for Favorites may revert to the previous setting. To prevent that, read below:

Checkpoints:

• If you've only altered the "Shell Folders" value, it usually reverts back (in accordance to the User Shell Folders value). You need to alter the Favorites path in User Shell Folders key.

• If you're using an environmental variable such as "%Userprofile%", you need to create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value type, rather than REG_SZ. Also, note that REG_EXPAND_SZ type can accept either formats.

• Disable any browser / favorites management software provided by your ISP and reset the Shell Folders as above. If it does not help, see if the *.URL files exists in the hard drive by doing a file search. They may be present in a different folder. Example..

How to Recall an E-mail in Microsoft Outlook

Instructions

• STEP 1: Go to the Sent Items folder in Outlook and open the message you want to recall.
• STEP 2: Click on Recall This Message in the Tools menu.
• STEP 3: If your message hasn't already been opened by the recipient, either delete the message or replace it with a new message.
• STEP 4: If there are multiple recipients, you can request notification of whether the recall succeeded or failed for each one (at least you'll know whom to apologize to). Even if you successfully recall a message, the recipient may still know that you sent a message and then recalled it. So if you didn't replace it with a corrected message, you'll need to get your story straight as to why you recalled it.

Overall Tips & Warnings

• Never send "loaded" e-mail messages immediately after you write them. Save them in a draft folder, then review them one more time before sending. Some e-mail programs also let you queue messages so that they're sent after a slight delay.
