Attachments in OUTLOOK EXPRESS

noreply@blogger.com (Ash) — Thu, 7 Aug 2008 20:09:00 -0700

You may have noticed that when you receive an attachment with an email you are unable to open the attachment or save the attachment to your hard drive. The reason for this is that Outlook Express has the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus option enabled. Obviously, this is a safeguard against malicious attachments. However, if you receive attachments from friends you need to be able to open them. Here is how you disable the attachment virus protection option.

1/ In Outlook Express click Tools on the main tool bar

2/ From the drop down menu select Options

3/ In the options window select the Security tab

4/ At the top you will see a section marked 'Virus protection'

5/ The very last option is 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus'

6/ Remove the check mark from this option to disable it

7/ Click the Apply button

8/ Finally click OK to exit

3.Click "properties" then the "automatic updates" tab
4.Choose "turn off automatic updates"
5.Reboot your computer
6.Go back to start menu and in all programs go to "windows update" you have to be connected to the internet.
7.Manually update windows.
8.Turn your automatic updates back on.

I have also had a number of people comment that the problem reappears after some time. The recommended fix, if the problem reappears, is to turn off automatic updates, and just manually go to Windows Update periodically and update your machine

Re-Enabling or disabling System Restore

noreply@blogger.com (Ash) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:02:00 -0700

One of the tips that was widely circulated on the net when XP Professional was first released involved disabling System Restore via Group Policy Editor. It certainly works, but a problem arises if you want to re-enable System Restore at a later date. There is no option to re-enable it again. To do so:

Start the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)Navigate to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/System RestoreSet Turn off System Restore and Turn off Configuration to DisableRight click on My Computer and Select ManageNavigate to Services and Applications/ServicesNavigate to System Restore Service and double clickOn the General tab set [Startup Type] to Automatic using the drop down listClick the Start button to start the serviceClose the Computer Management consoleReturn to System Restore in Group Policy Editor and configure both to Not ConfiguredClose Group Policy Editor and reboot the system.

Disable System Restore Tools and Settings

After the reboot is complete, right click My Computer, select Properties and the tab for System Restore will have been restored. Configure it to your individual needs and satisfaction.
Open your registry and find or create the key below.
Disable System Restore on Start MenuCreate a new DWORD value called "DisableSR" and set it to "1" to disable the System Restore tools on the Start menu (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore).
Restrict Access to System Restore SettingsCreate a new DWORD value called "DisableConfig" and set it to "1" to disable System Restore Settings link in the System Restore interface and the Control Panel > System > System Restore page.
Changes take effect immediately.
Note: These settings will not stop Windows from making automatic System Checkpoints, but will disable access to restore them.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Sy
Registry Settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
DisableConfig, DisableSRData Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)Value Data: (1 = enable restriction)
Vice versa to enable it.

Deleting Restore Points

There are three known safe ways to delete restore points stored on your computer. These ways are described below:

Disk Cleanup - Launch the Disk Cleanup tool and then select the more options tab. On this tab you will find a section for System Restore. If you press the Clean Up button for that section, Windows will delete all restore points except for the most recent one.
Turn off System Restore - Just by turning off System Restore all your restore points will be deleted. Unless you want this to happen, be careful that you don't mistakenly delete all your restore points by disabling system restore.
System Restore runs out of storage space - If system restore runs out of the storage space that has been allocated towards its use, it will delete the oldest restore point in order to create space for the new restore point.

Problems with System Restore

There are some problems associated with System Restore when it comes to viruses.
All restore points are stored in a folder that starts with _restore in the System Volume Information folder found in the root of your individual partitions. This folder is used to store copies of your registry, files, configs, etc. The system volume information folder is only accessible to the System account by default. You can access this folder, though, by adding yourself to the security permissions of this account. Though its advised that you do not do so, I am sure that some of you will poke around in there anyway. Remember, doing this is at your own risk.
Most of the configuration options for System Restore can be found at the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore
One interesting key you can change here is the interval Windows uses to make an automatic restore point. By changing the value, which is the total seconds between automatic restore point creation, you can make Windows create restore points more often or less frequent. The default value is 86400, which in seconds corresponds to 24 hours between each automatic restore point creation.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore\RPGlobalInterval
For more information on the registry keys used by System Restore read this Microsoft Knowledgebase article:
The Registry Keys and Values for the System Restore Utility.
You can also specify what registry keys should not be restored and what files should not be backed up by System Restore.
These registry keys are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackupHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\KeysNotToRestore
The values contained in the FilesNotToBackup key are files or directories, in which you can specify wildcards as well to exclude all files in a particular directory. Any files listed in this way will not be added to a restore point when one is created.
The values contained in the KeysNotToRestore key are registry keys that should not be restored if you ever restore your computer to a previous restore point.

The Registry Keys and Values for the System Restore Utility

In Windows XP, there are three registry keys that you can use to modify System Restore:
•
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SrThis key is related to the System Restore filter. This key and its values must not be be modified under any circumstances as any modifications can cause the operating system to malfunction.
•
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SrserviceThis key is related to the System Restore service. This key and its values must not be be modified under any circumstances as any modifications can cause the operating system to malfunction.
•
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestoreIn this registry key, you can modify some DWORD values. However, in this key, there are some values that must not be modified under any circumstances.

USB 3.0 for the masses

noreply@blogger.com (Ash) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:12:00 -0700

There has been a lot of unanswered speculation recently regarding USB 3.0 and Intel's involvement; I thought it was about time to set the record straight. By the way: USB 3.0 will be a new wired USB standard operating at faster speeds than previous USB generations.

1: Intel is creating the USB 3.0 specification. Much of the incorrect speculation in the press so far has centred on what the USB 3.0 spec is, and who is creating it. There are two separate standards being developed, USB 3.0 and Intel's Host Controller spec in support of the USB 3.0 standard. The recent press articles do not properly distinguish these separate specification development efforts. USB 3.0 â€“ The spec: USB 3.0 is not an Intel specification; it is being developed by the USB 3.0 Promoter Group (HP, Intel, MSFT, NEC, NXP, and TI). The USB 3.0 Promoters issued a call for contributors in November 2007 and since then the USB 3.0 Promoter Group has been joined by over 180 USB 3.0 Contributor companies (Including other chipset makers such as AMD and Nvidia) who are helping to finalize the USB 3.0 specification.

Polaroid debuts pocket-size photo printer

noreply@blogger.com (What next) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:39:00 -0700

Polaroid, the company that brought the world the iconic snap-and-print camera, is ready to introduce a new instant-photo product fit for the Digital Age. The PoGo, a mobile, inkless printer with a cute name, is small enough to fit in a pocket and prints wallet-size pictures that can be turned into stickers.
The company--which continues its attempt to transition from an analog past to a digital future--hopes the Polaroid-on-the-go will revolutionize instant photo printing

Polaroid showed the little 8-ounce PoGo to CNET News.com

The product receives images via Bluetooth from a camera cell phone or through a USB cord from any digital camera. Then it uses inkless Zink technology to heat up the photo paper and bring out the colors embedded in the paper's dye crystals.
Without ink heads, printers can be smaller and save money on ink. However, the Zink paper will still cost extra--an average of 35 cents per print. Future plans include larger prints that rely on the the same mobile, inkless concept.

USB 3.0: Nvidia responds to Intel, SiS joins fight

noreply@blogger.com (What next) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:39:00 -0700

Nvidia is now firing back at Intel. The world's largest graphics chip maker has responded to Intel's latest statement on the USB 3.0 specification and said chipset maker SiS has also joined the group of companies at odds with Intel.
There are now four companies vying with Intel--all chipset makers: Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Via Technologies, and SiS,And they're moving quickly to establish their own so-called "host controller" specification. "We're moving fast. We've already staffed it internally. We have resources submitted from all of the companies (Nvidia, AMD, Via, and SiS)," said a source from Nvidia who asked to remain anonymous
A host controller allows computer devices to communicate with the operating system and is a crucial component for implementing USB 3.0 on computer systems.
An Intel spokesperson posted a blog on Wednesday stating Intel's position on the release of the host controller specification related to USB 3.0.
Intel stated emphatically that the host controller is outside the scope of the USB 3.0 specification and that the company is under no obligation to release the specification before it deems the specification ready for release. Moreover, because Intel is giving it away for free, chipset makers shouldn't complain, the blog said.
Nvidia counters that if it doesn't get the specification from Intel in a timely manner--meaning now--the group members will be forced to come up with their own host controller, causing a cascade of potential delays. "Effectively, what will end up happening as this plays out (is) the rest of us launch later. But even though we've developed to the Intel host controller spec, we may not interpret it exactly the same way as Intel has implemented it."
This will lead to further delays, according to Nvidia. "By then, they have become the de facto standard and we have no choice but to go back and respin (redesign) the chip, which then adds another nine months," Nvidia says. "Effectively, Intel is building in two years of green field--of a market where they're the sole provider and they can charge whatever they want for their chipsets."
Nvidia also took exception to this statement by Intel: "Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man-hours) in resources to create an Intel host controller spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology."
"I think they're overstating the resources and time required to get to a mature spec," said the Nvidia source.

External hard drives go green too

noreply@blogger.com (What next) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:39:00 -0700

I never thought tech devices that consume relatively little energy, such as external hard drives, can actually be optimized to consume even less energy. Apparently, I was wrong. Case in point: the Guardian MAXimus external hard drive enclosure from Newer Technology.
The device is the company's first effort into "Green" storage. It features triple interfaces: FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB 2.0 and it supports up to 1TB of storage space in RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration. Utilizing the latest technology in energy efficiency, the Guardian MAXimus provides a 15 percent power savings and consumes up to 50 percent less power than traditionally powered 1TB external hard drives.
It's a little disappointing that the eSATA interface is left out, as the device is designed to house high-speed 3.5-inch SATA desktop hard drives. However, the Guardian MAXimus makes up for this by offering a relatively compact size and a sturdy, shock resistant casing. And it's probably the first external drive on the market that's certified by RoHS (an EU directive that sets standard for Restriction of Hazardous Substances) to be one of its kind that delivers maximum data protection and backup performance while using less energy.
You can get the Guardain MAXimus now for $150 without the hard drive. The enclosure comes with a good bundle of software including: Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools, ProSoft Engineering Data Backup (For Mac), and NovaStor NovaBackup (for Windows). It works with both PC (Windows 2000 or later) and Mac (OS 8.6 or later) platforms.

Problem During POST ALL SYSTEMS

noreply@blogger.com (What next) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:50:00 -0700

Problem During POST

The Power On Self-Test (POST) is the prime troubleshooting tool used to diagnose and isolate system problems in the Desktop PCs. To enter the POST, turn on the system. Each time the computer is turned on, the POST checks the following:
System motherboard
Memory
Keyboard
Certain peripheral devices
The POST is operating while the Logo is being displayed. There will be 3 potential results of POST:
POST does not detect any errors, the system beeps once and boots up Windows.
Errors that do not prevent the boot process (non-fatal errors) display a message that looks similar to the following:
Error message Line 1 Error message Line 2 Press [F1] for Setup, [Esc] to Boot
At this time you can note the error and press [Esc] to resume the boot-up process, or [F1] to enter the Setup program.
Errors that prevent the boot process from continuing (fatal errors), are communicated by a series of audible beeps.

NOTE: Beep codes are used early in the boot process before the display adapter initializes
While beep codes are consistant across all motherboards, textual POST errors vary amongst all motherboards and across all suppliers. A comprehensive list of all error codes is not available.

Problem During Startup

Problems that occur at initial start-up are usually caused by incorrect hardware installation or configuration. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. When you experience a problem at start-up, check the following items:
Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
Is there a keyboard attached to the computer?
Is the power supply set to the correct input voltage?
Are all jumper settings on the motherboard correct?
Are add-in boards and disk drives installed correctly?
Are all the jumpers and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices set correctly? For the valid settings, see the documentation shipped with these devices. Ensure that there are no conflicts, for example, two add-in boards sharing the same IRQ.
Is there a bootable diskette, USB drive, or CD attached to the system?
Are all the DIMMs installed correctly? Try reseating the DIMMs.
Are the configuration settings correct in Setup?
Is the system's hard disk properly defined in Setup?
Is the operating system properly loaded?
Are all software drivers properly installed?
Problem After the System has been running correctly

After the system hardware and software have been running correctly, problems often indicate equipment failure. Go through the checklist below to see if the situation is one that can be easily corrected.
Uninstall and then reinstall the software on the hard disk drive. If it still fails, you many have a bad sector on the hard disk drive.
If you suspect the CMOS RAM has been corrupted, try clearing CMOS RAM and run Setup.
If the problems are intermittent: a. Possible loose cable b. Dirt in the keyboard (if keyboard input is incorrect) c. Marginal power supply
A transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout may have occurred. Symptoms may include: a. Flickering video display b. Unexpected system reboots c. System not responding to user commands. Try rebooting first, then if the problem persists, reload the software.
Try reseating the DIMMs.
The LAST RESORT. Run System Recovery. BACKUP USER DATA. If the problem persists after reformatting the disk, the motherboard may be defective.

Problem Operating Add-in Boards
Problems related to add-in boards are usually related to improper board installation or interrupt and address conflicts. Go through the checklist below to see if the problem can be corrected.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and switch/jumper settings.
Check cable installation

Problem Running New Application Software
Problems that occur when running new application software are usually related to the software. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runs correctly. If the problem persists after going through this checklist, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative.
Does the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software?
Is the software an authorized copy?
Check with software vendor to see if the software is supported in Windows.
If running the software from external media, is it a good copy?
If running the software from the hard disk drive - check for proper installation.
Are the correct device drivers installed?
Are the correct video drivers installed?
Is the software correctly configured for the system?

Samsung Developing High Capacity Solid State Hard Drives

CNet.com is reporting that Samsung is pouring tons of research and development money into the creation of high-capacity solid-state hard drives. So far, the company has produced one of the largest capacity solid-state drives available — a 256 GB flash-type drive. Samsung unveiled the new drive at their annual Mobile Solution Forum, held this year in Taipei, Taiwan.
Solid-state hard drives aren’t exactly new; flash drives, for example, have been around for years now, and are gradually increasing in storage capacity, while getting smaller and physical size. But a solid-state drive large enough to serve as the main hard drive of a laptop or desktop computer has been mostly a fantasy so far

Samsung plans to change all that with a new line of 2.5 inch, high-capacity solid-state drives, capable of storing 256 GB or more of data — significantly more than the standard notebook PC hard drive today.
Additionally, the new solid-state drives will access information quicker than traditional hard drives. The new Samsung 256 for example, reads data at a rate of 200 MB per second, and can write data at 160 MB per second, one of the fastest data transfer rates ever developed.
The advantages of solid-state hard drives are many. They are capable of faster accessing speeds, and are generally considered more reliable, and less susceptible to fluctuations in heat and humidity. Because solid-state drives have no moving parts, they are also ideal to use in notebook PCs, palmtop organizers and even smartphones.
Samsung will begin production on their new line of solid-state drives later this year, with the first commercially available models expected to be available in September. But even though Sam’s song is virtually leading the way and development of high-capacity solid-state drives, they are sure to have significant competition by the years end. Intel is also planning to debut a high-capacity solid-state drive later this year, and the company has negotiated to include the drive in certain notebook PC models available with Centrino 2 mobile processor.
Like the Samsung drives, the Intel models will use a multi-level cell configuration, and will feature a high-speed ATA II serial interface. The result could be some of the fastest access times ever for a notebook computer.
Traditional hard drives “spin” in order to access data. The mechanical movements involved limit the seek time, and make it difficult to obtain ultra-fast access to data. The solid-state drives, by comparison, access every segment with in the drive simultaneously, without needing to “spin” or wait for mechanical moving parts. And although the price tag for a solid-state drive is considerably high at the moment, prices are expected to level off over the next few years as high-capacity SSD’s (solid-state drives) become more commonplace.
