I recently had to copy a VirtualBox HD image and didn’t use the build-in support which resulted in problems with UUID’s not matching or being duplicates of each other. To solve this I used the following command to generate and reassign a new UUID to my disk copies.
VBoxManager.exe internalcommands sethduuid image.vdi
for newer versions:
VBoxManage.exe internalcommands sethduuid image.vdi
I recently had the problem with a HTC Desire where a Google account was added but only mail and contacts could be selected for synchronization, there was not abvious way to fix it and none of the clear your google account didnt work for me. The alternative to clearing the Google account was to do a factory defaults on the phone which wasn’t an option.
So the solution was to create and add a second Google account. As soon as it was added the first account fixed it self – the calender suddenly appeared. Then I could just delete and remove the second newly created account from the phone again.

If you cannot even start Messenger without getting the “Stopped working” message box try to reset the settings in regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
Delete the value of the keys:
This should make messenger reset the values and start up normally.
Microsoft suggests to do this as well:
Delete key UTL type REG_SZ with your email in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\<Hash Number>
After sign in remember to change your display image.
