Office 2013 not saving settings

I have 2012 rdsh and rdwa installed. My collection has office 2013 installed. It seems that every time a users starts an office application it thinks it is the first time I am running it ( Welcome to your new office wizard). I run through
the wizard and make the changes I need to make in the trust center. But when I log out and log back in I have to repeat the process.
I do have a remote desktop services profile set up. I am not sure if that may not be configured properly and that is causing the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a client with this same issue today and found a solution in that case, I found a number of registry keys were missing. Specifically I created the following keys manually:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General] "shownfirstrunoptin"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\PTWatson] "PTWOptIn"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common] "qmenable"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\FirstRun] "BootedRTM"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\FirstRun] "disablemovie"=dword:00000001
Some of these did exist but were the wrong setting, others such as the entire FirstRun key were missing entirely.
Creating these resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps anyone else having this issue :)

Word 2013 Not Saving Settings

Running Word (Office) 2013 with Windows 7 64-bit.
It will not save any of the changes we make within Word itself. I am aware of the Normal file and have tried wiping that away to force Word to regenerate a new one, and it still does the same thing.
Couple of examples: I can go into Word Options, enable the developer tab, disable the "Welcome" splash screen and turn on a ruler. It all works until I close Word, then all of the settings go right back to the way they were before. Every time the
PC restarts for Windows Update or any other reason, all created macros are lost and provided with an error that says "Normal.dotm is in use by another person".

"Normal.dotm is in use by another person".
Are you sharing normal.dot between users? If this is the case, then please note that this is not the way to use normal.dot. Normal.dot is an individual user file.
This could also be due to some add-in problem. I'd suggest you disable each Word add-in one at a time in order to determine which one is causing the warning message.
You can do this in: FILE>Options>Add-Ins, in the Manage list, click
COM Add-Ins, and then click Go. Uncheck one of the add-ins in the list and click
OK.

MSI GT70 not saving settings

Hello, I have a new GT70 2oc-008us and when I purchased the laptop I also bought a Samsung 840 120gb ssd and I installed and migrated the OS myself. Everything else works fine like games but I have this weird issue with non of the MSI installed programs saving their setting after a shutdown. For example, the killer network manager is not saving the setting in which it shows the dialog on close or auto updating which is kinda annoying and the sound blaster cinema is not saving settings like when I plug in my headphones it goes to 5.1 surround instead of headphones or when I play around with the equalizer or the surround sound option to optimize movie or gaming experience. This is quite annoying because I play a lot of games and watch a lot of movies and I do not like constantly changing my settings. So if you know of a solution to my problem could you please help me out?
Thank you

For the toolbar problem delete the com.apple.Safari plist from Home/Library/preferences. To have a link open in a new tab you must command-click on the link and have the appropriate box checked in Safari>Preferences>Tabs.

Office 2013 not syncing archives

Hi!
We used Office 2010 Pro Plus and Office 365 together. We have an archive mailbox and the user's default mailbox on Office 365. We can see the archive mails If we access the mailbox with Office 365 but Outlook 2010 couldn't sync the archive folders. We decided
to upgrade to Office 2013 but it still not appearing. All the updates are installed on the client.
Could anyone help me with this issue?

Hi,
The online archive mailbox feature requires a Microsoft Exchange Server Enterprise Client Access License (CAL) and specific Microsoft Outlook licenses. Please make sure your environment has meet the conditions. See:

Lion not saving settings, iTunes not working, iPhoto not repairing

having a ton of issues and not sure if it's upgrading to Lion, updating iTunes or something else causing the problem.
When I'm logged in as the main user getting a ton of problems including;
1) no matter which box I check or uncheck or which windows I close before shutting down, every time I log in as my usual user it opens about 20 windows including about 6 files in Excel which I've already closed, said I wanted to delete (they were recovered), etc. Other windows that open are firefox, settings, a video I started watching about a month ago, etc
2) applications are frequently crashing
3) nothing will synch with itunes. I plug in the iphone, ipad or touch and it recognizes that it's there and then proceeds to do the rotating rainbow thing for ever (I've tried leaving something plugged in overnight) or until I force quite
4) iphoto indicates that the library needs repairing - repairing does nothing, rebuilding does nothing, repairing permissions does nothing, removing and reinstalling does nothing.
5) most settings are not saved. things like changing the Login Items, 'Restore Windows when quitting...' option do not save but things like file sharing options does save.
what I've tried that didn't work;
1) reinstalling Lion
2) reinstalling itunes
3) reinstalling iphoto
4) reinstalling itunes with iphoto removed
5) tried quitting applications with option-command-Q (they still reopened when I re logged in)
5) also tried to manually delete the 'saved application states' but can't get to the folder (can find the library folder but it says the saved application states folder does not exist)
the only thing that works is setting up a new user and logging in there. Most of the problems seem to go away but all my files, itunes library, etc are under my other user.
so, anyone have any ideas? if not, is there an easy way to transfer all my files, itunes library (hopefully including playlists!), etc?
Thanks for any help!

Sounds like something malicious or malfunctioning in your user.
What you can do is use the Grouping or other tag feature to tag all your songs in certain playlists, this will apply to the song file itself.
For instance I have music grouped like this:
Popular 00's Medium Hits
Popular 90's Hard Hits
Classic Rock 80's Very Hard Hits
Blues 70's Medium Hits
So I can create Smart Playlists containing the keywords in the Grouping.
No you don't have to go through all that. Something to think about in the future when you switch machines or need to transfer to another user.
You can simply transfer your entire iTunes folder into the Music folder of the new user via the Users/Shared folder, open a copy of the
iTunes Music Library.xml
In TextEdit or another text program with "find and replace" ability.
Change all instances of your old user name with the new one, save and relaunch iTunes, it will load this file and have the correct pathname/user to locate your files so the playlists remain intact.
Once your up on the new user, delete the infected or corrupted one, as that what it seems to be occuring.

Bridge not saving settings.

I am using Bridge with CS4 and have the following minor but irritating problem.
Bridge does not save the current settings such as last folder used or screen view settings when the computer system is shut down.
These setting are saved during periods of opening and closing bridge while the computer remains powered up but are not saved (presumably to the registry) when the computer is powered down.
I am using Windows XP / service pack 3
I presume that there is an entry in the system registry that needs editing. I would appreciate if anyone with knowledge of a solution for this problem would assist me.
TIA
Roy Berger

Thank you for the information, it is most helpful.
Of course you are correct about me having bridge set to "autoload on
startup". It will look into closing Bridge before shutting down.
Appreciate the prompt reply,

ITunes not saving settings

Every time I start iTunes after a reboot, the "first-time" wizard pops up, and my settings are not saved. I have tried to unset the Application Data folder from Read-Only, and I have tried deleting both of the .prefs files. This seems to happen every time I install a new program or modify the registry in any way. How can I fix this problem?

Any help?

Windows 8 not saving settings

I have a problem with Windows 8 Pro.
Basically, it doesn't save profile settings, for example, created docs, desktop personalisation, log on window personalisation, etc.
So every time I log off or shut down the computer, all settings are reverted to default, like a fresh install.
Even the setting of Other Software's are also not saving, for example, when i change settings of media player's and restart my pc its reverted to default. Even the download history of Internet Download Manager is also reverted back when i shutdown.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I suspect you installed any third party software which restores the previous state. Please check that.
If the computer is in domain environment, please contact IT stuff if there is any group policy to perform the restore.

Battery not saving settings in Logic

Anyone else having trouble saving settings in Battery?
Here's an example of the problem:
1. Open Session1 in Logic (X or 9), open an instance of Battery, open a kit (e.g. 909 Detailed Kit), save, close.
2. Open Session2 in Logic (X or 9), open an instance of Battery, open a kit (e.g. Reggaetoni Kit), save, close.
3. Open Session1 again, Battery reverts to Reggaetoni kit (from the last open session, instead of the current session).
Am I missing something obvious? Could this be a Battery bug? I have searched the interwebs for some info on this, and I seem to be the only one with this issue.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Maybe you missed previous posts.
Omnisphere is not compatible with Logic's Preset Settings feature. (Both in L8 and L9). The last Omnisohere update fixed a few bugs but not all. For one thing, when you save a patch, Omnisphere will automatically turn on Stack mode, which could completely change the sound if it had Live mode on.
There was a response from some Spectrasonics guy here on the forum who promised a fix, but given the track record of Spectrasonics lately, I wouldn't get my hopes up to high:
* Atmosphere/Trilogy Wrapper disaster (aka unusable)
* Omnisphere compatibility issues with Logic
* Strange Delay of Trillion (death of the shipping person two weeks before the release date causes a 4 month delay???)
Too bad that they still produce the best sounding plugins on the market so it is hard to avoid them.

New console launcher - NOT SAVING SETTINGS (Vista x

wtf. new console launcher version is not saving my settings.... speaker settings.. volume etc.. everytime i? reboot its back at default.
I have:
reinstalled console launcher. did reg clean / driver sweep etc.
still doesnt work. anyone?

In audio console you have a tab "restore defaults" uncheck everthing from it, this may help you as helped me long time ago and I am unchecking it since then just to be sure and never have the problem again. You can also hack Auzentech drivers and Install theirs consoles it can resolve this issue but you must do this at your own as nobody can support you with info how to do this nor will I.Message Edited by Art385 on 08-06-2008 04:24 PM

Lync 2013 not saving conversations to Outlook 2013

I have several users running lync 2013 and outlook 2013. And randomly lync stops saving the conversation history to outlook. All office and windows updates are completed. Each user is on Windows 7 enterprise .
Here are a few things we have tired:
full office repair
Uninstall and reinstall of office 2013, with the removal tool as well.
made sure users had owner permissions to Conversation history folder in outlook.
The only permanent fix we have found is a erase and re-install of the whole system. Any one have any ideas?

Hi,
Have you tried creating a new mail profile in Control Panel?

Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible with Windows 8.1??

I have a customer that I recently installed Office 2013 onto their brand new Asus Q550. The entire setup went very well but after 2 hours of use with Outlook, the service just stopped. Curiously I went to Word, same thing! Anyone else having this problem
on their 8.1 device? If so.. Whats the fix???

Hello,
I have been with Microsoft tech support and connected remotely with our machine. After 2 hours of trying, she finally gave up and asked me if I am already an Assured
member? This way they can help me thoroughly with my problem. I have to pay an amout, so they can help me fix it? I just told her that I will just have to fix it myself.
These computers are brand new and we bought 5 licenses of Office 2013. It only happened when I updated from Windows 8 to 8.1. It was working fine with Windows 8, but
when I updated the machines to 8.1 it stopped all our MS Office 2013 to work.
After a thorough research I was able to fix the problem with all our machines. This
problem has been seen to be caused by certain versions of the third-party DisplayLink User Mode Driver (dlumd32.dll), specifically versions of the dlumd32.dll file lower than 8.7.x.
You need to download and install the latest Display Link Software at http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php

Outlook 2013 not saving Office 365 Credentials in Roaming Profiles

Hi,
We have migrated one of our Exchange Mailboxes to our Office 365 Environment, we have had all the relevant DNS entries put in place, so when the user logs on and opens Outlook 2013, the Wizard picks up there Office 365 Mailbox and configures, it
asks you for User Credentials, and you type them in and select remember and then Outlook open fine with all the emails presented,
THE PROBLEM: After this user logs off and logs back on to either the same computer or another computer, and they open Outlook, you are yet again asked for your Credentials again, it remembers the username and not the password, once you enter the
password and click remember password it opens Outlook fine
Looking in Credential Manager, I can see that after selecting Remember Credentials, it is putting an entry in Generic Credentials, however when you log off and on again these disappear, I have added Manual Entries in Credential Manager and these
are saving!
I have noticed that in %USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials when you open Outlook and select remember password, it is adding a system file in here, so I decided to try copy the file to %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials, when I log
off this is writing back to the server, and when I log back on it is downloading, HOWEVER when I open Outlook, it still asks for the password! And when I type it in and select remember, it adds the system file back in %USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials,
and ignores the Roaming one,
So currently I am using a Logoff and Logon Script to copy these Files too and from the relative folders and this works, however it is not ideal
The Script:
LOGOFF
'Test
xcopy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials\ /H /Y
rmdir I:\MSCRM /S /Q
xcopy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MSCRM I:\MSCRM /H /Y /I /E
LOGON
xcopy %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials\ /H /Y
xcopy I:\MSCRM %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MSCRM /H /Y /I /E
MY QUESTION:
So I guess my question is how can you get Outlook to look at the %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials instead of the Local one?
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook always ask for password even through you have selected remember password after migrate mailbox to Office 365.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I want to double confirm some points, please help to collect answers for following questions:
1. Is there still any Exchange server On-premise?
2. All user or any special account experience this issue?
By default for On-Premise environment, the Outlook client finds AutoDiscover also by using SCP first, if it can’t success. It will turn to use DNS.
Please try to remove SCP by ADSI Edit then try again, I find an thread about remove SCP and a similar thread about your question, for your reference:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3559c142-2c42-4749-9476-422ab7449853/autodiscover-url-migration?forum=exchangesvrdeploylegacy

Besides, this issue may be related to Office 365. Please contact Office 365 Team so that you can get more professional suggestions, please refer to:

Fios Optimizer not saving settings

I noticed my internet speeds slowed down a bit last few days so I decided to run the optimizer and see if it said my settings were already optimized. I ran it as it said my pc was not optimzed, was successful, shut down the pc, booted it back up and ran it again to see if it said my setttings were already optimzed. It said my settings were not. I again ran it a 2nd time and its still saying my pc is not optimzed. What could the issue be?
I did a speed test and saw no difference. When I was fully succesful awhile back with it things were better. For some reason its no longer saving the settings.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If it works properly for you the fios optimizer works great imo.
http://my.verizon.com/micro/speedoptimizer/fios/default.aspx
Open IE as an administrator and go to the above url. Run it, shut down the pc, and boot it back up. Then go check your speeds at somewhere like speedtest.net and see if its faster. When it works for me I do get higher speeds and to what I am paying for.
There are other optimizers out there such as TCP Optimizer, but I honestly have no idea how to use it since you have to do things manually.
