Today, I’ve encountered the following error when trying to open default.aspx page in SharePoint Designer 2007.
soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. —> A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Web Part Page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered as safe on this site. You may not be able to open this page in an HTML editor that is compatible with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer. To fix this page, contact the site administrator to have the Web Part or Web Form Control configured as safe. You can also remove the Web Part or Web Form Control from the page by using the Web Parts Maintenance Page. If you have the necessary permissions, you can use this page to disable Web Parts temporarily or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.

Today Microsoft Released Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008
Some of the changes include:
- SQL Server 2008 SP1 has made it easier and more efficient to deploy and manage service packs. By adding the ability to Slipstream, SQL Server 2008 and SP1 can be installed simultaneously. This decreases the total time for an installation, including a fewer number of reboots.
- Service Pack Uninstall allows administrators to uninstall the service pack separately from the database release.
- Report Builder 2.0 Click-Once deployment. Up till now, Report Builder 2.0 was only available as a separate install on the client machines. Now .NET’s Click-Once technology is used so that users can run Report Builder without having to install it first through a setup file locally.
- In addition to the a roll-up of previous cumulative updates, SP1 includes quick fix engineering updates and minor fixes in response to requests reported through the SQL Server community. There are no new feature updates in this service pack.

Extrinsically many things seem to be absolutely simple and clear, any problem seems to be trifling and any task – easily solvable. However, whenever one decides to do some work himself then he inevitably faces the whole range of hidden agendas and miscellaneous problems. Let’s say we need to search for something in the Internet. Seems like there’s nothing easier than that! Anyone can open a web browser and navigate to www.google.com and enjoy all the benefits of the search engine, however, often it happens so that not everybody manage to always find exactly what they’re looking for! This happens because any tool must be mastered and in some cases the most simple tool turns out to be much more powerful than everybody might think it is. Even Google!

Original article is posted here. In this page I’ve added links to REG files.
The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG (Registry) file. Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the default settings for the file extension indicated.
NOTE: If your EXE file associations are corrupted, it can be difficult to open REGEDIT, or to even import REG files. To work around this, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager. Once there, click File, then hold down the CTRL key and click New Task (Run). This will open a Command Prompt window. Enter REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.
Thanks to Nigel Andrews for this tip.
