How Come i can't change the size of my application windows in Windows 10 with Parallels 12

I updated to Parallels 12. I ended up changing a lot of the visual displays trying to make things better. Then somewhere along the way, I couldn't change the size of the applications in Windows 10. I thought it had something to do with Parallels, but it doesn't.

To fix this issue, simply do the following:

  1. Go to the notifications window. The little icon near the date and time on the bottom right on the start bar.
  2. Open it up
  3. Check to see if you are in tablet mode.... I was.
  4. Unhighlight it and you're done.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method aaAmazonWS::set_the_plugin() line 88 (ANSWER/SOLVED)

Fatal error: Call to undefined method aaAmazonWS::set_the_plugin() line 88

I was installing WooZone's  WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates plugin. And I received the message above.

Essentially, I had already installed WooCommerce Light. Then, I tried to install the purchased version above. When I installed it, the message appeared.

Solution:

  1. go to WooCommerce Light
  2. Get your Amazon WS settings if you don't have them easily available
  3. Deactivate the Light version
  4. Activate the new version
This will allow you to continue..

No more

Connect Office365 with my desktop or windows explorer and the sign in button doesn't work

Connect Office365 with my desktop or windows explorer and the sign in button doesn't work. WTF? Really, I tried this several times.

Answer: CLICK ON THE ENTER KEY, and you will get through. I used the mouse and it didn't work.

Here's an article if it helps.

The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs

Had the following error message:

The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.  Inaccessible logs

I ended up adding this value to the registry. See the solution here:

Section or group name 'xyz.Properties.Settings' is already defined. This can not be defined multiple times.

Section or group name 'xyz.Properties.Settings' is already defined. This can not be defined multiple times. (C:\whatever.dll.config line [Line Number])

I ended up opening the config file and found a line was duplicated in Configuration | ConfigSections | SectionGroup

Removed it and all was good.

Using c# if debug

If you want to hide some of your code for production you can use the #if the statements. This allows you to do testing and not affect your production code. See the example below for more information.

#if Debug

//Code goes in this spot

#endif

Using system.collections.specialized.stringcollection in application settings

So, I'm in the application settings and want to put in a setting saved as type system.collections.specialized.strincollection. I started putting in a value and the message c#  cannot be converted to an instance of type system.collections.specialized.stringcollection pops up. What? So, started looking online as to how to enter the value.

Long story short, if you look to the end of the line, there is an "ellipses" button. Click on the button and it will allow you to enter the values and it will format everything for you.
