Recently, one of my clients brought it to my attention that suddenly, Excel 2003 took several minutes to open spreadsheets stored on a network share. After a bit of fruitless searching, I finally ran across an article that noted that this was a new issue with no easy fix other than some changes to the registry.
It all started when Microsoft released a patch (KB2501584) that integrated Office File Validation (OFV) for older versions of office- basically it is an add-on to Office that enhances security before opening files. The unfortunate effect was that after installation, Excel would take 7-8 minutes to open a file that opened instantly just the day before.
In the last few days, Microsoft acknowledged that this was an issue, so they released a bulletin (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2570623 ) with a “Fix It For Me” link that will disable OFV. After running the Fix it, Voila! Excel returns to the normal behavior for networked spreadsheets.
Microsoft does provide two other “workarounds” other than disabling the patch- first, you could save the file locally and work on it on your own PC. Second, they encourage you to upgrade to a newer version of Office, which is not affected by this bug. However, in my opinion, as long as your antivirus is up to date, I see little harm in disabling OFV.
NEW YORK (AP) — Quick on the heels of Google’s launch of its latest social-networking venture, Facebook is rolling out video calls. It’s powered by Internet phone company Skype.
Facebook said Wednesday that it is also rolling out a group chat feature. Facebook users can now create instant group chats if they want to quickly message a small group of their friends.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook now has 750 million users. And they share 4 billion things such as photos, links and status updates on the site every day.
Google Inc. opened up Google Plus last week on an invite-only basis.

As the Evansville IceMen of the Central Hockey League commence preparations for the dawning of a brand new era with their move into Evansville’s exciting new downtown state-of-the-art arena for the 2011-12 pro hockey season, the local franchise has taken yet another forward, progressive step in their overall profile and presentation.
On Friday, the IceMen organization has announced the launching of an all-new web-site through a marketing partnership with On-Site Computer Solutions of Evansville. The IceMen all-new web-site will formally debut this coming Monday, June 6th. All IceMen fans will still be able to access the new “site” through the same domain name at www.evansvilleicemen.com.
Some of the many features of this IceMen fan-friendly new web-site will include a modern focus and approach centered on the IceMen new home of the new downtown Evansville arena. Fans will find that the new web-site will offer total and complete players’ statistical integration expressly to better understand what the viewers are looking at and how long they are looking at it.
In addition, the new web-site will include integrated social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter for even more fan interaction. A new “Fan Forum” will also be introduced to enhance the linking of the fans to the IceMen team and encourage discussion on the happenings of their Evansville pro hockey team. IceMen fans/viewers will enjoy an innovative and creative ad rotation system that changes the displayed advertising tiles every time the page is refreshed.
From the IceMen organization’s perspective, the new web-site also possesses some exemplary and extraordinary features.
There is a full content management system that allows the IceMen organization to effect changes to the web-site at any time whatsoever without the assistance of On-Site Computer Solutions.
Also, the new web-site has been constructed on a system that will allow for future growth of the web-site with the overall ability to add and increase many new features and aspects of the IceMen new web-site.
As an integral part of this new partnership, On-Site Solutions will also serve as the official Web-Master for the IceMen new web-site.
On-Site Computer Solutions operates under the auspices of Principal Web Solutions and is located at 600 N. Weinbach #940 in Evansville. “Internet Power for Real Business,” the company’s president is John LaFief while the creation and construction of the new web-site is authored by Alex Mourer.

For the past three years, the IceMen web-site was overseen on an independent contracting arrangement with Michael Shockley. The IceMen organization wishes to express many thanks to Michael for his time, talent, hard work and overall services for a job well done.
