Recently, when loading Word 2007 and Excel 2007 I was getting a dialogue box that told me that the two programs were suffering from an “unifunctions” Visual Basic error. Clicking OK got rid of the box, but it was a bit of a PITA to always have to clear the dialogue box everytime the program loaded.
I’ve figured out the solution to the problem. I had the Nitro PDF program installed on the computer, which I’ve since uninstalled. When the program unisntalled, it failed to delete two office templates that autoloaded when Word and Excel booted-up. Delete these files and you’re off to the races.
The Word file is NitroPDF.dot and is located in the Word startup directory (In Vista, it can be found here: C:\Users\Your User Name\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\). The Excel file is NitroPDF.XLT and is located in the Excel startup directory (just look for the Excel directory in the Microsoft directory listed above).

I was having a problem with Firefox 3 where all my cookies were being deleted each and everytime I re-launched the program. Luckily after some Google-fu, I found some other people having similar problems to my own. The solution? Deleteing the Torbutton extension. Seems to have solved my problems.

I’ve been the good boy that WordPress wants me to be and I’ve just upgraded to 2.6. It wasn’t without its moments, though. All the upgrade process went just fine, but when I went to log in to my dashboard–the backend of the blog–I was met with a message that said that my password was wrong. I tried re-setting the password twice with no avail. Luckily, I found this post that described the same problem I was having (with the exception that this person was using Safari rather than Firefox in my case). The suggested solution worked for me: clear my browser cookies & cache. So, I tossed my cookies, cleared my cache, closed down Firefox, re-launched the browser and, voilà , I was able to log-in with my newly-reset password.
