Recently, I was asked if I had an idea of how to resolve this problem; the most common and easiest solution to fixing this problem is to add the site to the Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer; while this is the easiest way to fix the problem, some of the users might not like the fact that they will have to do this the first time they access the site.
The second method to fix this problem is more involved and requires the modification of the master page, the steps for achieving this are listed in great detail in the following article:

“How do you update the templates contained in the Document Libraries of the ‘Case Management’ Site Template?”
It is a great and common question, the quick technical answer is:
“Update the document in which the Content Type of the Document Library is derived from”
Instead of keeping the answer technical thought a quick Hands on Lab would easily illustrate and answer much easily, with that in mind what you will need to complete this quick lab is:
Requirements
·A site based on the “CaseManagement.stp”
·Office 2007 as the default Office Suite
·Around fifteen minutes to complete this lab
·For the purposes of this lab we will use:
oDocument Library: Case Documents
oDocument: Expense Report.xls
oContent Type: Expense Report
Steps
1.Ensure enough permissions to modify the Case Documents Document Library, administrator permissions should work fine
2.Navigate to the Case Management Site
3.Navigate to the Case Documents Document Library in which you wish to change the template
4.Click on the Expense Report WorkSheet
5.Select the Edit Radio Button
6.Click the OK Button
7.Modify the Expense Report Worksheet to match your needs
8.Save it to the Desktop or a location of your choice
9.Click the Settings Link of the Document Library
10.Click the Document Library Settings Link from the list of choices of the DropDown
11.Under the Content Types section click the Expense Report Content Type
12.Click the Advanced settings link under the Settings section
13.Select the Upload a new document template Radio Button
14.Click the Browse… Button
15.Locate the recently modified Expense Report Worksheet
16.Click the OK Button
17.Navigate to the Case Documents Library
18.Click the New Link
19.Click the Expense Report Link from the choices in the DropDown
20.Click the OK Button
21.The updated template is now displayed
22.Congratulate yourself, you did a great job!
Conclusion After you complete the lab, you might be wondering:
“Do I have to repeat these steps for all the templates I wish to update?”
The answer is:
“Yes”
You might also end up wondering why so much complexity has been added to a simple process, the reason for this is because it does add tremendous flexibility when sharing this same template across your entire Site Collection.
Imagine that this template will be used all across the entire Site Collection which encompasses 50 Sites and dozens of Document Libraries, making a modification to a centric Site Content Type does simplify the entire process of maintenance. Mostly, because you make the modification and it will replicate across the entire Site Collection. One thing to keep in mind is that it will modify all those new documents based on the recently updated template only, in other words it is not a retroactive process; previously created documents will not updated the change.

You have probably heard all the buzz and excitement about Windows 7 RTM being released last week. Was feeling a bit adventurous and thought I would go ahead and install it on a couple of machines that I do rely upon heavily.
The results were quite impressive:
The upgrade from Vista 64 Ultimate bit towards Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit went as smooth as it could no problem that I could find at all!
An upgrade from Windows 7 RC was not possible, but a clean install did proceed smoothly
All in all, the elapsed time was around 2 and 3 hours
Since the upgrade I have been working flawlessly, all applications upgraded without having to be re-installed or activated again.
In case you are wondering the upgrade path this article has great details about it: Windows 7 Upgrade Path
Este pasado fin de semana recibi la noticia de la disponibilidad de Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview. Ciertamente, esto me inclino a empezar a descargarlo e instalarlo. Procedi a remover Office 2007 para prevenir cualquier error de instalacion. A pesar de esto, no pude instalarlo directamente; intente hacer un upgrade y tampoco funciono.
Despues de varias horas de intentar hacer la instalacion, recurri a re-instalar Office 2007.
A pesar de estos problemas, estoy esperando la resolucion a este problema para poder hacer pruebas.
Received the news that Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview this past weekend. This was certainly a cause for some excitement, proceeded to remove Office 2007 to prevent any installation failures. Unfortunately, the installation did not succeed; since a clean install did not work attempted an upgrade which also failed.
After a few hours of trying to make it work, recurred to move back to Office 2007.
In spite of these problems, still looking forward to installing and working with it as soon as this problem is fixed.

Varios usuarios de PC han estado utilizando Windows 7 cómo su Sistema Operativo Principal; de hecho muchos han hecho el saldo de Windows Vista hacia Windows 7 Beta o RC. Esto dicho, pensé que listaría algunos problemas que encontré durante el upgrade a Windows 7:
32 Bit
64 Bit
La mayoría del software funcionó sin problema despues del upgrade, algunos fueron removidos porque era pre-requisito para el upgrade
Las licencias de software que fué comprado requirieron re-ingreso
Webcam fué reconocido y funciona perfectamente
Webcam no fué reconocido a pesar de que había sido instalada antes del upgrade
Webcam requirió instalación antes del upgrade
Upgrade sin dificultad de Windows 7 Beta a Windows RC
Aún no ha sido puesto a prueba
A pesar de Windows 7 estar aún en Beta y ahora en RC; casi listo para RTM. Estos problemas son relativamente mínimos comparados a previas versions de Windows.
Pensé que esta lista sería útil cómo referencia si están a punto de migrar a Windows 7.
Many PC users have been enjoying Windows 7 as their main Operating System; in fact most people have made the leap from Windows Vista into Windows 7 Beta or RC. That said, thought I would share a few hiccups that have encountered during the upgrade to Windows 7:
Windows 7 - 32 Bit
Windows 7 - 64 Bit
Most software has been upgraded without a problem, some were requested to be removed
The keys for Purchased software the keys had to re-entered
Webcam was recognized and fully functional
Webcam was not recognized even if installed prior to upgrade
Webcam had to be installed prior to upgrade
Seamless upgrade from Beta 7 to RC
Have not tested yet
Even though Windows 7 is still in Beta and now in RC; almost about for RTM release. These problems are relatively minimal compared to prior versions of Windows.
Thought this might come in handy for a reference if you are about to do the leap into Windows 7.
Como la mayoria de tecnologistas, he estado usando Windows 7 como mi sistema operativo principal. Si, si, esto es un gran riesgo. Pero honestamente, ha funcionado bastante bien hasta el momento.
Con esto dicho, este posting me llamo la atencion; si es cierto, es tiempo de empezar a alistarnos para el RTM en menos de un mes.
