Cant Open My Facebook Page from My Office

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 07:32:00 +0000

Employers do not always approve of employees accessing Facebook while on the job. If you work for a company that does not like employees getting on Facebook, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot get on the site. Although it may not be good for your career in the long term, other options are available for getting on the site when your employer puts a block on your social networking efforts through Facebook. You simply need to get a little more creative to gain access.

1.Use a service that emails entire Web pages to an email address. For example, EmailTheWeb.com is a service that allows you to enter the URL of any Web page into a box and enter an email address; it then emails that page to the appropriate email. You need to know the URL of the Facebook page you want to look at, but this option can work.
2.Utilize a proxy server to access Facebook. A proxy server is a website that allows you to access other sites through another server. This way, to your computer it simply looks like you are visiting the proxy server website. While on the proxy, you have the ability to navigate to Facebook.
3.Type the IP address of Facebook into your browser. Depending on the program that your employer is using to block Facebook, it may simply block certain URLs. By typing the IP address into the Web browser, it could pull up the website. Facebook actually uses several IP addresses. Using an IP lookup site can help you find the IP address that you need.
4.Subscribe to certain pages on Facebook with really simple syndication, or RSS. Certain Facebook Walls allow you to subscribe to them through RSS. Then when you want to access them, open your RSS reader and you should be able to see the latest updates.

I hope you find it very helpful.

Problem with the 2004 Toyota Sienna

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 08:45:00 +0000

My 2004 sienna overheats and everybody tells me it is a different thing,it leaks water and mechanics said it's the radiator,it's the water pump,it's the thermostat,how can you tell what it is.?

Solution:
What you need to do is pressure test the cooling system, that will show leaks. What does happen is you get a leak, and do not notice it, then you develop another one or two, and when you fix the first issue, OTHER leaks show up. << Common thing.
Pressure test, if the rad leaks, replace it, pressure test again, repair what shows up, if anything...You need to be able to hold pressure to keep from overheating. It works like a pressure cooker, you can exceed boiling point with pressure.
This is why you should NEVER open a hot cooling system, it often will violently overheat when pressure is released.

Problem with the 2002 Ford SVT Focus

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 08:43:00 +0000

2002 ford zx5. low pressure side for A/C is on the passenger wheel well area... is there any special attachments or tools needed other than the hose that comes with the R134?

Solution:
Just the hose that comes with it, but the freon can be best monitored with a gauge attached to it,some cans of freon come with the gauge some do not, its best to use the ones that do for a novice, because
you don't want to over fill your ac system with freon, an overfilled system will loose its cooling ability as
well as damaging components from higher pressures. good luck!

Problem with the Acer X193W LCD Monitor

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 08:40:00 +0000

I recently got a TCO'03 Display at a yard sale..it has a power cord but where do i plug in into my computer?

Solution:
You don't plug the power cord into the computer. You plug the power cord into an AC outlet. You need a VGA cord for connecting the monitor to the computer. Walmart, K-Mart, Radio Shack, Staples, OfficeMax, and any of many other stores should have the cable.

Problem with the Eltax Planos 5.1 System

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:21:00 +0000

I know the Peak Power Handling is 100 Watt
but if i was to put some more drivers to the amp, or 1 driver what
is Total power of amp can i put a 150watt driver or 200watt in place of the 4.

Solution:
I'd recommend against any experimentation with this unit unless you are a somewhat qualified electrical (audio) engineer. You can do some serious damage to an amp or the speakers if you don't understand the implications of modifying the load, especially in a downward direction.

At 100 watts 'peak' with a sub-4" woofer this is a modest speaker system at best and probably has very limited potential improvement.

Problem with the Apple iMac G4 Mac Desktop

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:18:00 +0000

How to stop my G4 Mac desktop screen from jumping around when mousing? My screen moves left and right, or up and down when mousing around.

Solution:
I think what you have done is accidently magnified your screen slightly. To correct this hold down your ctrl key on your keyboard and move your finger on the mouse scroll button back. Hope this helps.

Problem with the 2003 Ford Expedition

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 08:53:00 +0000

What fuse is for the drivers door keypad an a 2003 expedition?

Solution:
In the fuse diagram for the 2003 Ford Expedition, a fuse is not indicated specifically for the "Door Keypad"; However it does show which fuse is needed for the Door Lock and Door Lock/Unlock Relay. Fuse location 30, Fuse amp rating 30a.

If you already have a manual, you will find this information in the table of contents under "Roadside Emergencies" fuses and relays.

If you do not have a user manual, you can download one at http://www.motorcraftservice.com

On the menu to your left, click on "Owner Guides".
In the drop down menus click on the year and the model.
Below those drop down menus is another drop down menu, click which Owner Guide you want. I clicked on "1st printing", as well as "2nd printing". The fuse info was the same on both.

Problem with the Coleman Mach III Air Conditioner

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 08:51:00 +0000

Roof top a/c not cooling. when open area where the air filter is I saw a wire(with male pug in) dangling not plugged in. it goes to a box labeled "freeze"
should this be plugged in? Where?

Solution:
Ends of that wire(s) should have a probe on one end, and connector on the other. Plug connector in to control box where it matches, then stick the other end in to coils about 3" up from bottom of coils/fins. You may have to push and wiggle a bit but allow it to slide in between the fins, and insert until most or all of probe is inserted. You may even see old location if you look close with flashlight, and just re-insert it there. That senses frost at bottom of evaporator and will shut down compressor to allow unit to defrost if it freezes up for any reason. The end opposite the connector may also have a round disc like sensor that has a clip on back to snap on to evaporator tubing , usually in lower left corner, again look for old location.
That really shouldn't stop it from cooling in your case. Do you hear compressor kick in, and are you getting any cooling at all? Do you have model number off bottom of roof unit? What type of thermostat are you using?

Problem with the Canon BJC S400 / CanoScan N650U InkJet Printer

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 08:49:00 +0000

I need to download driver for canon BJC S400 printer for windows 7, how can I do it?

Solution:
I do not think that your printer will work with Windows 7, many printers and most scanners do not work on later OS. Fortunately a new printer is not too expensive, consider one with network capability, so more users can access all of the functions.
Here is the drivers site for Canon and I do not see 7 listed, so likely not able to run under 7....http://www.canon.ca/inetCA/serviceDetail?m=load&id=3&sid=18&mid=2000060&type=D&opt=1

Problem with the Intertherm P3RA-048K Air Conditioner

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:24:00 +0000

We have a hvac Nordyne model P3RA-048K
Everything is working and there is cool air coming out of vents but the blower is tuning to slow so very little air forced out.

Solution:
Either the filter is clogged and needs to be repaced.Or check the coil inside the unit and see if it is getting iced up.You can try shutting the unit down for an hour or raising the temp.If this helps the motor speed then you know the coil was iced up.
It is also possible the motor may be going bad,doubtfull though since they will run for a while then shut off.
Check your filter
Check for ice
Possibly clean the inside coil.

Problem with the 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C90

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:22:00 +0000

How do I check the alternator/rectifier myself. Could I use the voltage meter.

Solution:
You're going to want to find the Haynes manual for your bike online (may take some searching...if you can't find one, I'll help you look)
You'll want a multi-meter with settings for Volts, Ohms, and diode/continuity testing.
Most standard multi-meters have these functions, and are easily and cheaply obtained from places like home hardware, the source, radio shack, etc.
Test the components using the known values and tolerances as outlined in the manual.
If you find this manual, MAKE BACKUP COPIES...it will be your best friend for as long as you own the bike!

Problem with the Toshiba Satellite A25-S279 (PSA20U-0CH43V) PC Notebook

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:20:00 +0000

While trying to install PATA 250GB HD (XP Pro) only 130GB recognized. Upgraded BIOS to v1.4 (latest) and assured by Toshiba that this would enable computer to handle 250GB. No such luck. Accessed BIOS (esc,power on, F1) but limited functionality. How do I access more functional BIOS Maintanance to check settings to see if change needed for 250GB HD and/or how do I get current configuration to accept 250GB?

Solution:
According to the detailed specs on that model, it came with a 60GB ATA-5 EIDI hard drive. therefore, you can use any ATA compatible (ATA-5, ATA-6 or ATA-100) EIDE/IDE drive that has jumpers enabling you to configure the drive as "Master". Western Digital Blue Scorpio and Seagate Momentus lines both have models that will fit the bill. You can find those drives at your neighborhood BestBuy or Staples pretty easily. I don't know if the A25 BIOS supports 48-bit logical block addressing (LBA), in spite of what toshiba says, If it only supports 24-bit LBA the maximum drive size is 137GB. If it supports 48-bit LBA then you can go as high as you can find drives available; usually 500GB. I suspect that it supports 48-bit LBA because various online vendors list up to 250GB drives for that model. The most important thing about the drive, though, is that it MUST be jumperable as 'master'. A cable select only drive won't work. Both the Western Digital and Seagate EIDE models have jumpers.

Problem with the Frigidaire GLEQ2152ES Electric Dryer

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:18:00 +0000

BOUGHT USED DRYER OPERATED ABOUT A MONTH WITH NO PROBLEM THEN ONE DAY PUSHED START BUTTON AND RIGHTS ON RIGHT SIDE OF DRYER BLINKED AND NO START..HAVE CHECKED ELECTRIC TO HOME IS OK..PULLED VENT OFF AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS..CHECKED THERMOSTAT AND LIMITOR WITH OHM METER SEEMS TO BE OK.

Solution:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/Frigidaire-Parts/Dryer-Parts/134813601/0026/417/Model-GLEQ2152ES1/1428/0151200?keySuffixId=NA&pathTaken=partSearch&pathRender=modelComponent&documentCompId=RR708049&diagramPageId=00002&productTypeId=0151200&searchModelNumber=GLEQ2152ES1&subCompDesc=Front%20panel/lint%20filter&brandDesc=FRIGIDAIRE&modelDesc=DRYER&blt=11

Sounds like your door switch is not working. If the contacts in the switch don't close then it would not allow the dryer to start.

Problem with the Swiss Army Wenger 70805 Alpine Wrist Watch

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:13:00 +0000

When changing the battery, a gold colored circular tape came off and was lost. Now when I try to replace the battery as I put it in on an angle the second hand moves, but with battery fully in place it stops. Was this anti-conductive tape? What do I do and where would it go, above or below the battery?

Solution:
Yes, you had to have it because the positive and negative sides of the battery connects, that's why it stops. it is under the battery but the connector of the negative side must not cvered by it. i hope i had been helped you.

Problem with the Texas Instruments TI-82 Calculator

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:09:00 +0000

TI 82 Does it need the disk battery and 4 AAA batteries to work?

Solution:
No. The calculator runs on the four AAA batteries. The lithium battery is solely to retain the contents of the memory while you change the AAA batteries. If you don't care about retaining the memory, you don't need the lithium battery. You do, however, need the AAA batteries to use the calculator.

Problem with the Operating Systems

noreply@blogger.com (nazish) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:54:00 +0000

I have installed sims2 in my computer but once i try to run the game, this message pop up: (Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter & have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer.)
I have already downloaded DirectX_9_0c_Jun10, directx_9c)Apr05 sdk_redist and dxwebsetup .

According to SPECCY, these are my PC specs: OS : MS WXP 32 bit SP3 Motherboard: Micro-Star Intl. Co., Ltd MS 7222 (Socket 775) ver.2.00 CPU: Intel P4 630 Prescott 90nm Technology RAM: 512MB Single - channel DDR@ @ 200MHz (4-5-5-13) Graphics: 1280x768 @ 1Hz 32 bit/ pixel Hard drive: 78GB Samsung SPO822N (PATA) 48 bit LBA 78GB

Solution:
Goto > Control panel > device management press the [+] behind VGA adapter.
If it says no driver or the wizard can not find the necessary software. This happens because your VGA card does not have a driver, without a driver cannot support Direct-X, find out if your VGA card is Built in or External. If your VGA is built in go here > http://www.bioticaindia.com/msi-ms-7222.html and download all of *********** board drivers including the VGA ones. Install them all following instructions. IF your VGA Still doesnt have a driver then you have to find what kind of VGA you got and look fro the appropriate driver using a internet search engine like Google, Bing, etc.. Write back to tell me what happens.
