Windows 7 Activation Error

Jinu — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:45:36 +0000

If you use volume-licensed media to install Windows 7, you may face an error while activate product. The installation process uses a generic product key and Windows will be get installed without any product key. After that if you try to activate Windows 7, the activation wizard uses DNS to locate a Windows 7based host that is running the KMS software and activation wizard will queries DNS and does not find the DNS entry for the KMS host computer, hence the wizard shows error message(Error Code 0×8007232b ). According to Microsoft there are two solutions methods available for this issue.

Method One:-Prepare a KMS Server

Configure a computer on the network to host the KMS software. Then, publish the Domain Name System (DNS) settings. For information setting up a KMS server and publishing the DNS addresses, visit the following Link.

Microsoft Web site KMS server Setup Guide:

Method 2: Use a Multiple Activation Key

Change the product key to a Multiple Activation Key (MAK). To do this, follow these steps:

Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then right-click Command Prompt.
Click Run as administrator.

If you are prompted for an administrator password, type the password. If you are prompted for confirmation, click Continue.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

Note In this command, xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx represents your MAK product key.

Windows Pager is a interesting simple application which can organize your desktop. Since there no visible installation screens after you run the exe file, it will confusing and it will be difficult to use it. Go through following lines, which will give brief idea about application and its usage.

But its very simple, download the application, unzip using WinZip or WinRar and find folder windowspager or windowspager64bit (If your are running 64bit) and double click on windowspager.exe. The application creates four virtual desktops on your computer, which will available as four rectangles next to the system tray. The first column contains everything that was open when the Application started and the rest all boxes will be empty.

You can move few opened windows from one desktop to another desktop with “drag and drop” which is very useful to arrange your running programs. I have arranged my desktop something like, all opened browsers dropped into a box and all folders into another virtual box and all active running web tools into remaining rectangle box. If you have problem to drag and drop, Click on one of the empty virtual box and then run any other application like media player or Google chrome browser. It automatically falls into selected virtual box. I just find this tool as best organizer of my flooded taskbar.

WindowsPager is freeware and comes as a ZIP file that requires no installation. Download WindowsPager here.

Internet Security is an increasing problem for companies and for individuals. There are lot of identity theft and data theft complaint has been registered with cyber crimes cells. We all aware that internet media attracting a huge community into it. As users increase, security issues also keep increasing. Any company or individual has a strong interest in protecting their trade secrets and data. Here I want to talk about securing your system and internet transactions with passwords.

Make sure to remember the following four rules:

1. Don’t use easy-to-guess passwords.

2. Don’t write down your password in an insecure location or store it in an insecure computer file.

3. Don’t share passwords with co-workers.

4. Don’t use the same password for different accounts.

How to create a strong password, you can use one of these four methods:

First Method:-

Pick a word or phrase that you can remember easily, but substitute letters with symbols or numbers (such as @ for a, i for 1, 8 for B, $ for S, E for 3 etc. Using this method, “admin” might become “@9m1n”.

Second Method:-

Pick a minimum 6 letter word and use upper and lower-case letters separate with special character . Suppose if you picked “computer” as word, using this method “computer” will become “computer@COMPUTER”.

Third Method:-

Use an “upper left” or “lower right” substitution. This is where you replace a keystroke with the key next to it. Thus, “iloveyou” might become “8i9f397” by replacing each letter with the letter to the upper left of it on the keyboard.

VERY SECURED METHOD:-

it’s strongly recommend to change your password every month even if you are used very complex logic to your password.
