Unable to Access any Console through the VMware Infrastructure Client

If you are getting a blank (white) screen anytime that you click on console in your VMware infrastructure client, you are not alone. The solution is to remove any VMware product that you have installed on that PC and re-install them starting with the VI Client 2.5.

Margin auto does not seem to work in IE

Solution:

Verify that you have the right DOCTYPE. 

This is what a DOCTYPE  looks like
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Well it you do not specify a DOCTYPE, IE automatically uses quirks mode and quirks mode apparently does not support auto-magin centering.

How Do I Access the Email Headers in Outlook 2010?

In past versions, once just had to just right click on an email in outlook and click on Internet Options and Voila. Apparently that is too easy and that is why Microsoft decide to move it somewhere else. Here is how to access it now:

1. You have to actually open the email

2. You have to go to "File" menu bar


3. You have to Click on "Properties"

What was wrong with the “right click” Verstion?
