Probleme Windows Update / Windows Live

In caz ca nu reusiti sa mai faceti update-uri la Windows XP si primiti o eroare de genul : Windows update error 0x8024D007, sau nu reusiti sa instalati aplicatii Windows Live, pentru a rezolva problema trebuie sa inregistrati urmatoarele dll-uri (Start -> Run , paste la fiecare linie)

regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuweb.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wups2.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wups.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll

Eliminati Compress Old Files din Disk Cleanup

Stim cu totii ca Disk Cleanup-ul este o functie utila cu ajutorul careia putem castiga ceva spatiu pe disc si chiar putem mari un pic viteza sistemului, scapand de toate acele fisiere temporare ce s-au acumulat de-a lungul timpului.
Exista totusi o problema : dureaza prea mult ! Si de ce dureaza asa mult ? Pentru ca Windows-ul calculeaza cam cat spatiu am castiga daca ar comprima fisierele mai vechi ( default e sa comprime fisierele ce nu au fost accesate de mai mult de 50 de zile). Totusi spatiul castigat prin comprimare este adesea infim si nu se merita efortul.
Daca vreti sa scapati de optiunea Compress Old Filesdin Disk Cleanup, iata ce trebuie sa faceti :

# 1. Deschideti Start - Run si introduceti comanda regedit
# 2. Navigati in directoarea : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Volume Caches
# 3. Apoi deschideti fisierul Volume Caches si selectati "Compress Old Files"
# 4. Stergeti tot ceea ce se afla inauntru
# 5. Restartati calculatorul
# 6. Rulati Disk Cleanup si nu o sa mai vedeti optiunea compress old files.

Adaugati o aplicatie la startup din registri

Daca vreti ca o aplicatie sa ruleze cand porneste sistemul de operarea, deschideti Editorul de Registri (START -> RUN -> REGEDIT) apoi navigati in urmatorul folder :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsof\tWindows\CurrentVersion\Run

si adaugati o nuova valoare string (Edit -> New -> String Value), dati-i ce nume doriti si ca valoare, locatia executabilului aplicatie (de exemplu : C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe)
Restartati calculatorul si veti vedea ca aplicatia va rula dupa ce se incarca sistemul de operare.

Probleme instalare Add-on-uri Firefox

In caz ca aveti probleme la instalarea de Add-on-uri in Firefox, si primiti o eroare de genul :

Firefox could not install the file at...
because unexpected installation error
Review the error console log for more details.

Atunci tot ceea ce trebuie sa faceti e sa stergeti aceste 3 fisiere: extensions.ini, extensions.cache si extensions.rdf din profilul Firefox

Locatie Profil Firefox :
Windows XP : C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Windows Vista : C:\users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Sincronizeaza bookmark-urile intre mai multe calculatoare


FoxmarksFoxmarks este un add-on pentru Firefox ce va perminte sa va sincronizati bookmark-urile de pe mai multe calculatoare.


Este foarte util daca lucrati pe mai multe calculatoare si vreti sa aveti la indemana link-urile voastre preferate

Pentru a instala add-on-ul mergeti dati click aici si apoi apasati pe Add to Firefox. Add-on-ul va trebui instalat pe fiecare calculator ce vreti sa-l sincronizati. Apoi trebuie sa va creati un cont si eventual sa alegeti care bookmark-uri vreti sa le sincronizati, in caz ca nu le vreti pe toate.


Apoi Foxmarks se va ocupa de totul. Va incarca bookmark-urile voastrre in cont (accesibil si la adresa my.foxmarks.com ) si le va sincroniza cu toate browsere-le in care aveti instalat Foxmarks si introdus contul di parola voastra. Destul de simplu si eficace !


Pentru o descriere mai vizuala a ceea ce face Foxmarks accesati aceasta pagina , iar pentru instructiuni de utilizare accesati aceasta pagina .

Adaugati "speech bubbles" in poze


Superlame este o alta aplicatie web care face un singur lucru : adauga balonase cu text, dar il face bine. Pentru a modifica o poza trebuie doar sa o incarcati pe site, apoi adaugati balonasul, scrieti textul si alegeti modul de formatare, doar atat ! O alta chestie faina e ca puteti adauga balonasele in afara pozei si aplicatia va mari automat poza astfel incat sa se vada ceea ce ati adaugat. Singura problema e ca superlame isi adauga logo-ul in coltul din dreapta jos, in rest mi se pare o unealta usor de folosit si foarte utila.

Arhive.org

Internet Archive este un “container” pentru intreg internetul, este un fel de muzeu al internetului.
Inarmat cu mai mult de 2 Petabytes capacitate de stocare, arhive.org scaneaza internetul incepand din 1996, si din doua in doua luni descarca cele mai recente versiuni ale site-urilor pe serverele proprii. In momentul de fata au mai mult de 85 de miliarde de pagini stocate.
logo Este foarte interesant de urmarit cum arata google in 1999 sau yahoo in ‘96 sau microsoft.
In afara de site-uri mai au o colectie impresionanta de concerte, audio-books si cantece vechi, inregistrate de pe discuri de vinyl.

Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts



Ceva shortcut-uri de care probabil nu stiati si care va vor face viata un pic mai usoara.

1: Automatically complete .org and .net addresses


Yes, we know that if we type ‘google’ in the address bar and press Ctrl+Enter it directly goes to www.google.com . But what about .org and .net addresses? . In Firefox, Shift+Enter takes you to .net and Ctrl+Shift+Enter takes you to .org addresses automatically . So if you wanna go to Problogger , just type the word in firefox address bar and press Shift+Enter .

2: Alt + D


You can use this to navigate directly to the browser address bar of firefox. Very useful.

3: Ctrl+T and Ctrl+Shift+T


Ctrl+T helps you to open a new tab and Ctrl+Shift+T reopens the last closed tab.
This comes quite handy in case you accidently close a tab. Another way to do this would be go to History -> Recently closed tabs.

4: Alt+Enter


This can be an extremely useful shortcut. It automatically opens a website in another tab when you highlight it in the autocomplete list. For example you want to go to Facebook and you start typing www.face…, in the address bar and it starts showing the list below. You just need to use the down arrow key to highlight the selection (facebook.com in this case ) and press Alt+Enter so that it opens in a new tab.

5: Use of Delete Key


The Delete key can be pretty useful because it helps you delete specific addresses in browser history or autocomplete forms. For example in the diagram below, when I type ‘a’ in google search I get 3 entries . If I want to delete the 2nd entry from autocomplete history , I’ll just point to it and press Delete key . Simple,isn’t it .

use of delete key




6: Ctrl+Tab


Ctrl+tab helps you to navigate between different firefox tabs quite easily.



7: Ctrl+[1,2….9]


Ctrl+tab can help you navigate alternate tabs but if you are a heavy tab user like me and want to go to a specific tab then just use Ctrl+corresponding tab number. Ex:To go to the 3rd tab use Ctrl+3 .



8: Spacebar and Shift+Spacebar OR PageDown and PageUp


Spacebar or PageDown key scrolls down the webpage you’re on and Shift+Spacebar or PageUp scrolls up the webpage you’re on .



9: The Middle Mouse Button


This is not a keyboard shortcut but it is an excellent shortcut . Just point to a link anywhere on a webpage and press the middle mouse(scroll) button . It opens the page in a new tab .
