How to Fix Computer Continuously Rebooting After XP SP3 is installed

2010-10-01T19:19:00.000-07:00

Stop Error 0x0000007E After SP3 is installed

I've had a few computers that will not boot correctly after I've installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 on them. The computer finishes the install and then prompts for a reboot. The computer will start to reboot then give a BSOD Stop Error for a second and reboot again. This process will continue unless the computer is started in Safe Mode. In Safe mode the computer boots correctly and everything seems fine.

This problem only appears on some systems after upgrading to SP3. This particular problem on systems that have been prepared with SysPrep. The sysprep image was created on an Intel based computer, and then the sysprep image is deployed on a Non-Intel system such as an AMD processor. In these cases, the registry entry for Intelppm is incorrectly set and causes the computer to go into a continuous reboot after the service pack has installed

How Can I Solve This Problem?

Follow these steps to resolve this issue with the computer not booting correctly after SP3 is installed.

1) Start your computer in Safe Mode.

2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.

3) Click the pluses(+) next to the following registry keys to navigate to the correct spot.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
Intelppm

4) In the right hand column find the entry titled START and double-click on it

5) Change the number to 4 and click Ok

6) Close the Registry Editor

7) Shut down your computer and restart

This time the computer should restart normally and finish the installation of SP3.

Mirror

2009-06-16T21:28:00.000-07:00

In computing, a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information, and are of particular value as a way of providing reliable access to large downloads. Mirroring is a type of file synchronization.
A live mirror is automatically updated as soon as the original is changed.

A good example of mirroring is the well-known SourceForge.net website. The basis of the Sourceforge concept is, primarily, the hosting of open-source software projects, but secondarily the use of many different locations to achieve one goal: to maintain download availability to the user. Many innovative computer projects host their sites and software on SourceForge, which provides mirrors in several countries, from Dublin, Ireland to Tokyo, Japan.
Examples of even larger mirrored networks include those of the Debian and FreeBSD software projects. The encyclopedia Wikipedia is mirrored at numerous locations.
Examples of free file mirroring sites are MassMirror, Sharebee.com. They allow anyone to mirror any file.

Disk mirroring:- In data storage, disk mirroring or RAID1 is the replication of logical disk volumes onto separate physical hard disks in real time to ensure continuous availability. A mirrored volume is a complete logical representation of separate volume copies.
In a Disaster Recovery context, mirroring data over long distance is referred to as storage replication. Depending on the technologies used, replication can be performed synchronously, asynchronously, semi-synchronously, or point-in-time. Replication is enabled via microcode on the disk array controller or via server software. It is typically a proprietary solution, not compatible between various storage vendors.

Tips about Bandwidth Tests

2009-02-23T05:31:00.000-08:00

There are many reasons to change the value of bandwidth tests such as

Signal interference

User location

Downloading site status

Viruses

Network Bandwidth Test

If you have a network in your home or office and sharing your internet connection then first you should use bandwidth meter test to check your local network bandwidth performance. Because network bandwidth speed test applications are used to point out the problem and help to deploy network monitoring system to improve your bandwidth management. Your bandwidth speed can affect your business performance, especially if you have a business Web site you maintain on your home network.

If your are using wireless cable internet connection that result will different with regular cable internet connection. But the same disturbances affect wireless bandwidth speed tests as regular cable internet.

File size and location of file

user Time and location.

Application usage

Heavy traffic through connection.

Windwos Vista registry hacks

2008-12-22T03:14:00.000-08:00

To change the name of the registered user or company,browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion

and look for RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization. Double click on them and change the values.

Slow down animations

If you have a sufficiently powerful machine and love the animations in Vista, you might want to slow them down a bit. Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\DWM.

Once there, create a new key by right clicking on the space below existing keys and choose New > DWORD (32bit) Value.

Call it AnimationShiftKey and enter the value as 1. After rebooting the machine, whenever you want to slow down the animations, press the [Shift] key before it starts.

Encrypting and decrypting files in Vista is a multi-click process which takes a fair bit of navigating. With a registry hack, this task can be done with a simple right-click. Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/ Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Advanced

and create a new 32-bit DWORD. Call it EncryptionValue and use the value as 1 there. After the system is restarted, you can get encrypting with just a right-click.

Speeding up Flip3D:

Eye candy is well and good, but not all of us have topof-the-line graphic cards to render all the sleek effects. This hack will limit the number of windows that are rendered in 3D, which will hopefully let you have your cake and eat it too.

Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

And create a new DWORD value called Max3DWindows. The value should be set to a number between 4 and 9:

higher the number the more muscle your graphics card needs to pack. Try it out with different number values by opening multiple windows and checking out the difference.

Microsoft released an unscheduled patch for Windows

2008-10-25T09:46:00.000-07:00

Microsoft released an unscheduled patch for Windows thatyou should definitely download. The patch protects against a remoteattack on a Windows service. Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server, andWindows XP (even with the latest Service Packs) are particularlyvulnerable. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 are affected aswell, although not to the same degree.Specifically, this vulnerability concerns the Server Service inWindows and can be attacked through a Remote Procedure Call (RPC)where a virus writer can craft a unique worm to run code on yoursystem without your authorization. Although Firewalls can helpprevent this remote attack, you should still download theappropriate patch for your version of Windows as soon as possible.This attack is similar to the widespread Blaster and Sasser wormsthat circled the globe in 2003 and 2004. According to one report,there are already nine different strains of viruses trying to usethis vulnerability to attack your computer. I will post informationabout this attack as I learn more. In the mean time, please visitthe following page to download the appropriate patch for yourversion of Windows. Scroll down to the Affected Software sectionand click on your particular operating system to download the patch.

Microsoft windows Xp

2008-09-15T21:55:00.000-07:00

1
Take shortcuts
Create your own shortcut-key combinations to your favourite applications by right-clicking the app of choice and selecting Properties. Under the Shortcut tab, enter your own key combination, such as Ctrl+6, in the "Shortcut key" field. If the combination you choose is already taken, Windows selects something similar.

2
Eliminate animations
Ending useless animations in Windows will improve performance. Right-click the desktop, choose Properties, and then the Appearance tab. Click the Effects button and make sure everything is unchecked in the next window.
3
Terminate indexing
For a slight speed boost, try disabling Windows' Indexing, a feature that keeps a record of all files on your hard drive. Go to Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools, and double-click Services. Scroll down to Indexing Service, then double-click it. In the General tab, select Disabled from the "Startup type" pull-down menu and click OK.
4
Instant copies
You can quickly burn a CD using Windows' integrated applet. To begin, go to Start > My Music, and navigate to the folder with the tunes you want to burn, if you're not already there. On the left side of the window, select "Copy all items to CD," or highlight the songs you want to burn and click Copy to Audio CD. You can also copy a single song by right-clicking the file and selecting Copy to CD or Device.
5
Custom slide show
Windows XP lets you create your own slide-show-based screensaver. First, drag and drop the pictures you'd like to use into your My Pictures folder, located inside the My Documents folder. Now, right-click an empty space on your desktop and choose Properties. Click the Screen Saver tab, and from within the pull-down menu, highlight the My Pictures Slideshow option. The Settings button lets you adjust parameters such as size and transition effects. Click Preview for a quick demonstration or click OK to activate your screensaver.
6
A tidier taskbar
You can lump open windows belonging to the same application within a single taskbar icon by right-clicking the taskbar, selecting Properties and checking the "Group similar taskbar buttons" box. Plus, if you want to close the program without having to close each window individually, all you have to do is right-click the icon and select Close Group.
7
Hide all windows
For instant access to your desktop, hold down the Windows key and hit D.
8
Synchronise Windows' clock
If your Windows clock has a habit of losing track of time, synchronise it with an Internet time server. Double-click the time located on your taskbar. Select the Internet Time tab and check "Automatically synchronise with an Internet time server." Don't bet your next job interview on it, though -- the time's synchronised only once a week. If you want to synchronise immediately, click Update Now.
9
Apps in an instant
For one-click access to frequently used apps, right-click the taskbar, select Toolbars and check Quick Launch. Now drag your shortcut icons onto the Quick Launch bar to the right of the Start button. To view more of them, click the double chevron for a list, or hover your mouse over the dotted area until it turns into a double-sided arrow and slide it over to the right.
10
Disable balloon help
To disable balloon pop-ups, click Start > Run, type regedit and hit Enter. In the left column, drill down to HKEY_CURRENT_ USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Explorer > Advanced. Right-click anywhere in the right column, select New > DWORD Value, and rename it EnableBalloonTips. Double-click this new entry, and give it a hexadecimal value of 0. Then close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. Just be careful; Registry mistakes are irreversible.

Google Security TIP

2008-09-08T08:53:00.000-07:00

Google is always adding new products and features. One of these is the Personalized Google Homepage. You can customize it with news, movies, weather, stock market reports and more. How convenient. But there is a dark side.

Google saves your search history. Every person, place, thing, or word you look up is stored in your history (BTW-same goes for the Google Toolbar). This can be cleared or paused on your end, but it will still be saved on the Google server. It's in their Privacy Policy:
"You can delete information from My Search History, and it will be removed from the service and no longer available to you. However, as is common practice in the industry, and as outlined in the Google Privacy Policy, Google maintains a separate logs system for auditing purposes and to help us improve the quality of our services for users."
So, if you have a Personalized Google Homepage, here's how to at least manage history items on your end...
Click the "My Search History" link then "Remove Items". Put a check next to the items on the list you want removed, or select "All". Finally, hit the "Remove" button.
If you don't want Search History activated, just click the "Pause" link. Again, the search info still goes to Google, but it doesn't show up in your search history display. To turn S.H. back on just hit "Resume".
As I mentioned, the Google Toolbar also keeps your history, but it doesn't track you like the Personalized Homepage. To turn off...
Go to the "Options" button and select the "Search" tab.
Uncheck "drop down search history", "Save the search history...", and "Automatically search..."
Hit OK.
Now your toolbar searches are known only to you. As for the personal homepage searches... at least no one outside of Google or the government can see what you looked up.

solve low memory problems

2008-08-31T22:59:00.000-07:00

Normally this warning message shows when you run many programs same time than the RAM installed on your computer is designed to support. Your can solve this problem by increasing the system paging file size also called as virtual memory. Using this virtual memory windows moving information to and from the paging file for fast processing. This will free up enough RAM for other programs to run properly.

To increase the system page file follow the give path:

Control Panel > System > Advanced > Click on Settings (Under Performance) > Advanced > Change
Here under Drive (Volume label), you have option to select any of your hard disk drive, but the best choice is, select any drive other than C drive for virtual memory.

Set the double Initial & Maximum Size of your Virtual Memory. Here set initial size 700 MB and maximum size up to 1000MB; you can change this size according to the free space available on your hard drive.

That is tip about the one of the latest technology on the computer networking:

This is one of the prominent network technology to manage and monitor in one of the local area net work; Here one PC(supper computer) can be simultaneously shared by multiple users. Each user's monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the shared PC through a small and very durable NComputing access device. The access device itself has no CPU, memory,harddisc or any moving parts.

There is a one host computer that must be a speeder and super computer; that acts as the administrative computer and sever as well; one computer can be control and monitor about nods. Here we have to install the operating system and the applications, only for the main supper computer .

The results are the easy monitoring in an office environment or any computer network environment; lowest possible cost for computing access.

2008-08-17T09:27:00.000-07:00

To turn this feature off, do the following:

1) Open My Computer

2) Click on Tools

3) Click on Folder Options

4) Click on the View Tab

5) Place a check in the option "Do not cache thumbnails"

6) Click Ok

7) Close My Computer

Now follow the next steps to remove the thumbs.db files from your hard drive

1) Click on Start

2) Click on Search

3) Click on All Files and Folders

4) Type the following in the section called "all or part of the file name"thumbs.db

5) In the Look in box, make sure Local Hard Drives is chosen

6) Click Search

7) A long list of thumbs.db files should appear, click on Edit, Select All

8) Click on File, and choose Delete

9) Close the Search Results window

*Although this tip isn't for everyone, if you are low on disk space and dont use the Thumbnail view to show your files, this may save you some valuable disk space.

Block Websites

2008-08-05T03:33:00.000-07:00

1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

2] Find the file named "HOSTS"

3] Open it in notepad

4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accesable.

5] Done!

example :127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com- www.orkut.com is now unaccessable

For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.

IE:127.0.0.3 http://www.yahoo.com/

127.0.0.4 http://www.msn.com/

127.0.0.5 http://www.google.com/

This also works with banner sites, just find the host name of the server with the banners and do the same thing;
