Speed Up Your Vista Network Connection

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 03:25:00 +0800

Speed Up Your Vista Network Connection: Yeah seems to work… I was surprised when default Vista network connection showed only about a 70Mbit speed when copying files over a local home network. After this tweak, it went up to about 80Mbit to 90Mbit, but still not at the same level as my XP had - ie full 100Mbit speed.

How To Hotsync Your Palm PDA To Windows XP 64-bit

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:56:06 +0800

This is written for people who still are using the older Palm PDAs, such as Zire, Tungstens et al. I am writing this disclaimer simply because this is untested on newer Palm products, but in theory it should STILL work.

The crux of the problem is that there isn’t a USB “driver” available for Windows XP 64-bit, hence people who run Windows XP 64-bit are suddenly unable to hotsync their Palm devices via the cradle/cable.

If your Palm device has a Wifi connection available, such as the Palm T|X, *and* your PC is also on a network, then you can overcome this problem. Nowadays, almost everyone has some sort of a home network set up, so this should be easily available.

Select “Network” in addition to other methods you would like to sync, in the Hotsync Manager
On your Palm device, select the Hotsync icon
Tap on the “Network” tab
Configure (if not already done so) which PC on the network you want to hotsync to. Choose either to sync via IP address or Hostname. I use IP address myself, although if your home network constantly has people hooking up and logging out, you might be better off with using hostname.
Naturally in step 4, the IP address or the hostname must be the one where you’re running the Hotsync manager on.
Hotsync away!

It shouldn’t matter which version of the Palm Desktop you have. I can remember the “Network” sync option being available as early as Palm Desktop 4.0 or even earlier, ie in the early 2000’s.

Installing Windows Live Messenger 2009 on 64-bit XP

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:00:04 +0800

Image via Wikipedia

Since Microsoft’s own installer refused to acknowledge WindowsXP 64bit as an appropriate platform to install Windows Live Messenger 2009, we have to find a few tricks to get around the limitations.

Download the MSI file here
Download the Segoe UI Font here
Download Windows Live Communcations Platform here
Download Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime here
Download Microsoft Application Error Reporting (32-bit and 64-bit)
Just drag and drop the Segoe UI font from the ZIP file in step 2 above into your Fonts folder. You can ignore the rest
Double-click on all the other MSI files (step 3, 4, 5) to install them
Now double-click on the Messenger 2009 MSI file to install it.

Voila~! Now you have the new Windows Live Messenger 2009 installed on your 64-bit XP, and ready to run :)
