How to back up data when computer crashes and unable to boot

2010-02-16T23:32:00.001+05:30

Well,

This issue is like a death sentence for a healthy running PC. All of sudden without a reason(?) the computer fails to boot up and show a variety of messages. Our most valuable data will be in the harddisk and there could not be seen any way to TAKE UP THE BACKUP because computer fails to boot EVEN IN SAFEMODE.

We shall see later what could be done in this case, but before that there is some probability to avoid this kind of situations. Windows crashes means either basically for two reasons one is software and other is hardware.

When the drivers of the hardware corrupts/conflicts/failed to load etc., the system crashes out of this hardware drivers problem.

When you find some time do this 1 min setting

Mycomputer->(right click)Properties->Hardware->Hardware Profiles->Copy

Rest is self explanatory.

During the booting process you can select pre-saved hardware profile in case computer crashes.

Next time we shall see , what can be done if the computer crashes with out any restore point or hardware profile.

How to Back up your Gmail Contacts and Restore.

2010-01-31T10:39:00.000+05:30

There is a simple way of Backing up the Gmail Contacts. It is important because incase you forget your password of Gmail Account, Gmail asks for either alternate email ID which you are supposed to (optional) supply during Gmail ID registration or any frequent used email IDs. To our illluck some times these frequent used email IDs may not be recalled.

So simple thing is to Back Up. By the way, the saved backup copy can be updated and RESTORED back into Google Address Book with a single click. That's a good news.

The following is a simple pictorial view.

Click the link 'contacts' which appears on left.

Click the link 'Export' on your right side.

Select 'Everyone' below 'Who do you want to export?'
Select 'Google CSV format' under 'Which export format?'

Save your copy.

How to Kill Printer’s pending jobs instantly ?

2010-01-24T13:02:00.000+05:30

Most of the time we end up tiresome in killing the tasks of pending printer jobs. Unfortunately by cancelling the printing jobs it may several minutes or end up in restarting the Computer.

There is a small technique by which the pending printer jobs can be instantly killed and a fresh new print job can be issued.

First open Run command (click start and Run). Type in cmd and hit enter. Then type in the following command

net stop spooler

You see the following message

Again type the following path in the Run

C:\windows\system32\spool\printers

A window will open with some JUNK files appearing. Press Ctrl+A for selecting all of them and delete them. Again come to the DOS window and type the following command.

net start spooler

The Print spooler service now will start.

If you click the Printer symbol in the tray (bottom right near time on the desktop) you WILL HAVE NONE OF THE PENDING JOBS.

Now you can issue any new Printing Jobs.

See U soon with another TIP.

Errors in Windows

2009-05-06T07:57:00.000+05:30

Bad request 400

The request could not be understood by the server due to bad syntax. You should not repeat the request without modifications.

Unauthorized 401

The creators of a Web page may want only certain people have access to that page. You should only retry the request if you know that you have authorization.

PaymentRequired 402

This message gives a specification of charging schemes which are acceptable. You may retry the request with a suitable ChargeTo header.

Forbidden 403

The request is for something forbidden. Authorization will not help. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable. (The file needs to be set with "read permissions" for all users.)

Not found 404

The server has not found anything matching what you requested. Make sure that the Web address (URL) that you typed in exactly matches the address you were given. Check that the capitalization matches, spelling, and punctuation, like dots (.) and slashes (/), are correctly placed. Be sure you are using the forward slash (/) and not the backward slash (\).

405 Method Not Allowed

The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the request. The response must include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource.

406 Not Acceptable

The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.

407 Proxy Authentication

RequiredThis code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that you must first authenticate yourself with the proxy. The proxy must return a Proxy-Authenticate header field (section 14.33) containing a challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource. You may repeat the request with a suitable Proxy-Authorization header field (section 14.34). HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11.

408 Request Timeout

The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. You may repeat the request without modifications at any later time.

409 Conflict

The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request.

410 Gone

The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners want remote links to that resource be removed.

411 Length

The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content- Length. The client may repeat the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body in the request message.

412 Precondition Failed

The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server. This response code allows the client to place preconditions on the current resource metainformation (header field data) and thus prevent the requested method from being applied to a resource other than the one intended.

413 Request Entity Too Large

The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server may close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request.

414 Request-URI Too Long

The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret.

415 Unsupported Media Type

The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.

Internal Error 500

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. Your request could not be processed due to an internal server error.

Not implemented 501

The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource.

502 Bad Gateway

The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request.

503 Service Unavailable

The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, you should handle the response as it would for a 500 response.

504 Gateway Timeout

The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to complete the request.

505 HTTP Version Not Supported

The server does not support, or refuses to support, the HTTP protocol version that was used in the request message. The response should contain an entity describing why that version is not supported and what other protocols are supported by that server.

What is the difference between ‘Dual Core’ and ‘Core2duo’

2009-01-24T05:44:00.001+05:30

This is the most confusing question looming around and bewildering most of the people. Check out the basic difference between them.

1. Dual core is NOT a Processor. Its only processing technology.

2. Core2duo is THE processor. Pentium D, Core Duo, Core2Duo, Athlon X2 are other processors built with Dual Core technology.

So when you go for a processor, ask for a Coreduo or Core2duo NOT for a Dualcore processor. However Core2Duo is the advanced one than CoreDuo with 4MB Cache where as Coreduo has 2MB Cache.

The small story of Ctrl+Alt+Del

2009-01-17T06:21:00.001+05:30

When all of a sudden the computer stops responding or in otherwords say gets hanged , the last resort we adapt is pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and selecting the associate non-responding program to end it immediately.

In 1980, David Bradle was sitting infront of his computer and all of a sudden he faced this horrifying situation. Computer stopped responding. The only way to get it responding is to restart or switchof the power butten. He thought of coming with a small code so as to end the program with out shutting down the computer.The time taken for writing this code is 1 and half minute. Then afterwards Microsoft started using this code in its OS.

Ctrl+Alt+Del has become all time Super Hit command.

Cheers to David

8 hacks to make Firefox Ridiculously fast

2008-12-30T22:55:00.000+05:30

Double your browser's speed in just five minutes

Firefox has been outperforming IE in every department for years, and version 3 is speedier than ever. But tweak the right settings and you could make it faster still, more than doubling your speed in some situations, all for about five minutes work and for the cost of precisely nothing at all. Here's what you need to do.

1. Enable pipelining

Browsers are normally very polite, sending a request to a server then waiting for a response before continuing. Pipelining is a more aggressive technique that lets them send multiple requests before any responses are received, often reducing page download times. To enable it, type about:config in the address bar, double-click network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining so their values are set to true, then double-click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set this to 8. Keep in mind that some servers don't support pipelining, though, and if you regularly visit a lot of these then the tweak can actually reduce performance. Set network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining to false again if you have any problems.

2. Render quickly

Large, complex web pages can take a while to download. Firefox doesn't want to keep you waiting, so by default will display what it's received so far every 0.12 seconds (the "content notify interval"). While this helps the browser feel snappy, frequent redraws increase the total page load time, so a longer content notify interval will improve performance. Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) somewhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.notify.interval as your preference name, click OK, enter 500000 (that's five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand) and click OK again. Right-click again in the window and select New > Boolean. This time create a value called content.notify.ontimer and set it to True to finish the job.

3. Faster loading

If you haven't moved your mouse or touched the keyboard for 0.75 seconds (the content switch threshold) then Firefox enters a low frequency interrupt mode, which means its interface becomes less responsive but your page loads more quickly. Reducing the content switch threshold can improve performance, then, and it only takes a moment. Type about:config and press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Integer. Type content .switch.threshold, click OK, enter 250000 (a quarter of a second) and click OK to finish.

4. No interruptions

You can take the last step even further by telling Firefox to ignore user interface events altogether until the current page has been downloaded. This is a little drastic as Firefox could remain unresponsive for quite some time, but try this and see how it works for you. Type about:config, press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Boolean. Type content.interrupt.parsing, click OK, set the value to False and click OK.

5. Block Flash

Intrusive Flash animations are everywhere, popping up over the content you actually want to read and slowing down your browsing. Fortunately there's a very easy solution. Install the Flashblock extension (flashblock.mozdev.org) and it'll block all Flash applets from loading, so web pages will display much more quickly. And if you discover some Flash content that isn't entirely useless, just click its placeholder to download and view the applet as normal.

6. Increase the cache size

As you browse the web so Firefox stores site images and scripts in a local memory cache, where they can be speedily retrieved if you revisit the same page. If you have plenty of RAM (2 GB of more), leave Firefox running all the time and regularly return to pages then you can improve performance by increasing this cache size. Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click anywhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type browser.cache.memory.capacity, click OK, enter 65536 and click OK, then restart your browser to get the new, larger cache.

7. Enable TraceMonkey

TraceMonkey is a new Firefox feature that converts slow Javascript into super-speedy x86 code, and so lets it run some functions anything up to 20 times faster than the current version. It's still buggy so isn't available in the regular Firefox download yet, but if you're willing to risk the odd crash or two then there's an easy way to try it out. Install the latest nightly build (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/), launch it, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Type JIT in the filter box, then double-click javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content to change their values to true, and that's it - you're running the fastest Firefox Javascript engine ever.

8. Compress data

If you've a slow internet connection then it may feel like you'll never get Firefox to perform properly, but that's not necessarily true. Install toonel.net (toonel.net) and this clever Java applet will re-route your web traffic through its own server, compressing it at the same time, so there's much less to download. And it can even compress JPEGs by allowing you to reduce their quality. This all helps to cut your data transfer, useful if you're on a limited 1 GB-per-month account, and can at best double your browsing performance.

How to increase download speeds in firefox

Firefox is configured by default for dial-up speeds. If you have high speed internet access such as DSL or cable, you can change a few settings in Firefox and increase your download speeds. If you change the number of connections that Firefox uses to download, you will see a dramatic increas in your bandwidth. The larger the file you are downloading, the greater the speed will be, because more connections can be made to the server.

1. Change Firefox connection setting by typing "about:config" in the address bar of Firefox.

2. In the "Filter:" bar, type "persistent"

3. You should now see two preference names with their values:

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxyuser set interger 4 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server user set interger 2

4. Double click on each of the preference names. A window will pop-up allowing you to change the values for each. If you have cable or DSL use a number between 20 and 30!.

Click OK.

5.Restart Firefox and you will be able to download more files simultaneously and each file a lot faster.

Common DLL Errors and Fixes in Windows Vista

2008-12-30T06:57:00.001+05:30

DLL or Dynamic Link Library files are used by Windows operating systems and applications installed on them to store functions and codes that can be called on whenever required. There are hundreds of DLL files on a Windows system and several conditions that may result in DLL errors. Some of the common causes of DLL errors are:

Missing, corrupt, or damaged DLL.
Overwriting or deletion of one or more DLLs during program install or uninstall.
Faulty or corrupt applications.
Malware infections.
Erroneous or invalid entries in the registry.

To understand DLL errors better, let’s have a look at some common DLL errors and the methods you can use to fix them.

Msvcr71.dll Error

The Msvcr71.dll file belongs to the Microsoft Visual C Runtime library 7.1 engine that is required by Microsoft C++.NET-based Windows applications, such as Microsoft Windows Office versions 2002 and 2003 and Microsoft Visual Studio.NET versions 2002, 2003 & 2005. These applications require the Msvcr71.dll file to carry out operations such as including the functionality for drop-down menus, toolbar buttons, and scroll bars, and to control mouse operations.

Msvcr71.dll errors usually occur when the DLL file is damaged, deleted, or overwritten due to installation or removal of an application. The file may also get affected if there is a problem with an application that uses it. Additionally, registry problems and virus infections may also generate Msvcr71.dll errors on the system.

When the error occurs, error messages similar to the one displayed below may appear on your desktop.

“The application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Reinstalling this application may fix this problem.”

“Program_File failed because MSVCR71.dll was not found.“

Msvcp71.dll Error

The Msvcp71.Dll is another Microsoft C Runtime library file which is required by several Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications to perform various operations. Errors related to the Msvcp71.dll file may occur if this file is corrupt, damaged or missing from the system due to incorrect program install/uninstall, virus infections, and registry problems. When the Msvcp71.dll error occurs, you may encounter error messages similar to the following:

“This application has failed to start because Msvcp71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”

“Msvcp71.dll is a bad windows image. Please check against your installation diskette.”

Shell32.dll Error

The Shell32.dll is a Windows library file that contains the functions required by Windows Shell API. This DLL file helps with operations such as opening files and Web pages on your PC. Most commonly, Shell32.dll errors occur while launching the Internet Explorer Web browser or while creating or accessing a folder in Windows Explorer. These errors usually occur due to problems in the registry.

When a Shell32 error occurs you may receive an error message, similar to the one given below:

“This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.”

Details:

“Program_File caused an invalid page fault in SHELL32.DLL”

The error message will close by prompting:

“There was an internal error and one of the windows you were using will be closed.”

Msoe.dll Error

The Msoe.dll is an essential file required by the Microsoft Outlook Express application. The Msoe.dll error usually occurs due to a missing Address Book (.WAB) file, or due to the existence of two versions of Outlook Express on the PC. When the error occurs, an error message similar to the one given below maybe displayed on your screen.

“Outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be loaded"

Most of the time, this error can be resolved by reinstalling the Address Book Windows component or by completely removing Outlook Express from the system and then installing the Outlook Express version you want on your system.

Simple Tips to Prevent and Fix DLL Errors

To fix the msvcr71.dll error and other DLL errors and prevent them from occurring on the system, you can follow some of the tips while working on your PC.

Be careful while installing and uninstalling applications and do not overwrite or delete shared DLLs that maybe required by other programs on your system.
Avoid installing unsolicited, freeware applications that are likely to contain malicious and harmful codes.
Keep your operating system, software programs, and device drivers up-to-date with the latest service packs, patches, and security releases.
Perform regular registry scan and repair with the help of a reliable and efficient registry cleaner tool to ensure that registry problems do not cause errors on the system.
Keep your antivirus and antispyware tools updated with the latest virus definition and schedule periodic full system scans to ensure that your system stays free from malicious information.

How to Format 40 GB or 80 GB Pen Drive

2008-12-24T07:28:00.001+05:30

Recently My Friend has brought a pendrive for me of 80GB capacity, Kingston Make. Firstly I doubted whether it is genuine or fake Chinese pen drive. On checking Kingston official Website, it was learnt that there is no pen drive in the market with the capacity of 40 GB or 80 GB. Because Kingston Says that it offers its flash drive product range is 1GB-2GB-4GB-8GB-16GB-32GB-64 GB. So at last the conclusion is 40 GB and 80 GB are fake.

On first attempt it shown very well and enabled read and write. On removing and again inserting , now the actual story begins. It behaves WIERDLY. The file/folder names are shown in Greek-and-Latin alphabets, My goodness who knows they are written in Chinese,Taiwan,or any other such language, and you will be shocked to see that you will be left with no data in your 40/80GB Pen drive. If u again carryout the process of write and read it shows again the correctly the newly copied data, but not the old ones. But the case repeats if you remove the pen drive.

The device can’t be formatted either in Windows/Dos.

But alas! Can’t we find any way to make these pendrives to work?

YES ! THERE IS A WAY

Actually while we are about to format the windows neither shows FAT32 nor NTFS.

Basically FAT32 means it supports upto 32 GB only. However, the pen drive 40/80 GB cannot be partitioned in FAT32 nor it supports NTFS format. So, it will not display either FAT or NTFS file system drop down of Pen drive.

SOLUTION

Check this Excellent Tool and when installed , try to format the Pen drive in FAT32 in quick format.

YOU ARE DONE.

P.S.

I have rectified 8 out 10 Pen Drives with this tool.

Good Luck
