I've just read where Windows Phone doesn't use MMS by default, which I guess is more cool than SMS.  I looked it up and see that its about multimedia messaging, but I guess I don't get it.  I've read where group messaging with Windows Phone isn't enabled.  I don't get that at all.  I've got a group on my WP, and easily send SMS messages to everyone on it.  I've just tested taking a photo and sending that to everyone in that group.  Works fine.  What am I missing?

Today I start setting up a new web server for our small, non-profit.  Because none of us are sys admins, we're be doing basically what the previous person did, when he set it up on the old server years ago.  We have public facing website for our non-profit, what I like to call "brochureware".  It describes who we are, where we're located, etc.  The previous guy placed this all in wwwroot. Not a folder within wwwroot, just wwwroot.  I've always felt that was probably wrong, but I didn't know any better, and I certainly wasn't in charge of it back then.  Now that it falls on me, I don't know what I'm supposed to do, so I'd appreciate some help on this, please.

We're working on a Windows Web Server 2008 R2.

I never knew about that site, Harlequin.  Many is the time I needed to share an image, but it was way too difficult to get it out there.  Cool!

Weird. I just tried it with this page and the "Print to OneNote" printer (to save paper) and it works fine. I wonder if it relates to the page you're printing having a special stylesheet for printing?

Yeah, it maybe the page I was on.  I don't remember which page that was.

I'm using IE9.  I'm on a large page, but only want to print 5 lines.  I highlight those 5 lines, and then do a Control-P to bring up the print menu.  I click on the "Print Selection" option, and then click on the print button.

Next IE starts printing 51 pages?!?!?!?!?!

How do you get 51 pages out of 5 lines of selected text?

@Doctor Who: Did you try any of these suggestions? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/the-zune-software-doesnt-recognize-my-phone.aspx

I have tried 3 different USB ports, including a USB hub, which has its own power supply, separate from my PC's power supply.  I've tried USB ports on the front of my PC and the back of my PC.  I've tried 2 different USB cables.  I've tried 2 different PCs with the Zune software installed on each.  I've tried deleting all of my music and some of  my apps.

Take it back to HTC and ask them to correct the problem.

I've done so wich my Throphy, it was back within a week.

Or if you dont want to do that, back up your stuff, perform factory reset and try the update again.

How do I take it back to HTC? I purchased my Trophy through Costco.

Over a week ago I got a message on my HTC Trophy, that there was an update for my phone.  I've started trying back then to update my phone.  I'd plug it into my PC, up pops the Zune software and it starts the update.  It gets to step 7 of 10, 81% completed, when it just fails with an error C1010007.  I've been trying, with @WinPhoneSupport to get this resolved, but still haven't gotten it fixed.  I don't know what sort of condition my phone is in.  I've been able to use it, but now it's stuck in the download page, although its doing nothing at all.  (Waiting over an hour with no response, to me, qualifies as nothing at all.)  I'd love to know if anyone else on this forum has an HTC Trophy and are experiencing the same problems? I think this update is something from HTC.

No sign of that here, but I haven't used Outlook 2010, only WLM and Hotmail/GMail directly. Have you ever used anything else to access your mail/contacts? I'm wondering if something else possibly inserted some faulty birthday info at some point?

I can't think of any.  It's strange, though.  I've double checked some of my contacts information in Outlook 2010 and Windows Live Mail, and they're fine.  I don't know about Facebook, though.  Perhaps this info came through their contact information.  I'll take a few and check....

.... OK, I've just checked.  Of all of my contacts that I got a notice of as having a birthday on January 1, only 4 of them are friends of mine on Facebook.  All of them have specified their date of birth, and none of them are January 1.  So, it didn't come from Facebook, either.

It happened to me as well (on my phone only), so you're not alone here. Don't know the cause and don't care enough to try and figure it out, but if someone knows why I'd love to keep it from happening again.

Glad to hear that I'm not imaging things.
