How to fix XBOX No Longer Recording - Error 2184328729

To fix XBOX No Longer Recording - Error 2184328729 on your PC:

This error means you do not have enough room to record any more videos. Delete old videos or move them to a different drive. If you delete videos, BE SURE TO EMPTY THE RECYLCE BIN TOO!

This worked for me, after I emptied the recycle bin... :)

Stop Excel from Flashing "CALCULATING" Continuously

If your Excel spreadsheet constantly flashes "CALCULATING" in the bottom status bar, it's possible calls are being made out to a third party. This happened to me when I realized calls to get stock quotes were pinging every 10 seconds or so. To remedy that I created a helper cell. When the value in that cell is "1", calls are made. If not "1" no calls are made.

Thus for example, my TDA Ameritrade call script to get a stock quote looks like this:

        =IF($A$1=1,RTD("tos.rtd",,"LAST",A2),"Not live")

When cell A1 = 1, quotes are updating
When cell A1 does not = 1, "Not live" is displayed

One final note: If you have multiple spreadsheets open, the spreadsheet that's flashing "CALCULATING" is not necessarily the one with the live script, so close them all and work on them one at the time.

Pair AirPods with PC - This works!

I always miss one step when trying to pair my AirPods with my PC, so I'm capturing these instructions here. If you don't see your AirPods listed when you are trying to pair them via Bluetooth with your PC, there's likely one step below you are missing. Try again! :)

Pair AirPods with PC

  1. On your PC, go to the settings for Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is on (Windows Key + S, type in "Bluetooth and other devices settings")
  2. Click the "+" button at the top to "Add Bluetooth or other device", then Click "Bluetooth Mice, keyboards, pens or audio and other kinds of Bluetooth devices"
  3. With your AirPods in the charging case, open the lid.
  4. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until you see the status light flash white.
  5. When your AirPods appear in the list of Bluetooth devices, select them.

AirPods should now be paired.

Disable Dangerous Lenovo Touchscreen

Disable Lenovo touchscreen

You must uninstall Lenovo touchscreen because it will start placing trades for you in your trading programs. No joke. Dangerous. The problem is that you have to keep uninstalling it because every time Windows updates it adds it back. Arghhh.

  1. Open Device Manager by pressing the Windows key + X.
  2. Under Human Interface Devices, look for HID-compliant touch screen
  3. Right click on this option and choose Uninstall.
Old notes:
Follow these steps
a. Winkey + Q.
b. Type Control Panel.
c. Go to Hardware and Sound.
d. Pen and touch (this will be gone if you uninstalled touch screen above, Remove it)
