さようなら (read as "Sayonara")

I started using Mozilla Firefox ever since I'm in Australia! I was unable to access the websites using IE and so did my housemates! However, both of us were able to access them by Firefox. In the year of 2006, I still remembered the first time using Firefox, it SUCKS! At last,  in the year of 2009 May, a total transformed from IE to Firefox.

To uninstall IE:

For IE 6 : Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs- Add/Remove Window Components(Left Pane)- unchecked IE- OK-Apply and for IE 7/8: Control Panel- Add/Remove Programs- Windows IE7/8- Remove.

What about the Regedit (Registry Editor)? Anyway, here's the step to get rid of IE from the Regedit!

Step 1: key-in "regedit" from RUN command

Step 2: Search from Hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11CF-8B85-00AA005B4383}

Step 3: Change the value of IsInstalled (REG-DWORD) from 1 to 0(zero)

Step 4: Restart the computer to take effect!

IT: Winlogon Error (Windows 2000)

After a fresh installation of Windows 2000, i attempted to login and i found the error:

" Winlogon.exe - Unable to locate DLL
The dynamic link library TXFAUX.DLL could not be found in the specified path.c:\winnt\system32, c:\winnt\system, c:\winnt\system32\wbem, There is more to this message, basically the paths of WINNT and SYSTEM32"

What you can do is:
Step 1: Search the file TXFAUX.DLL
(The file normally will be found in C:\Winnt\ServicePackFile\I386)
Step 2: Copy the particular file to C:\Winnt\System32
Step 3: Restart the computer...
After all, you should be able to login without any difficulties.

IT: Add/ Remove Windows Component

I was trying to install IE(i had removed it) on a Window 2000 PC An error message popped out "Setup was unable to open information file pinball.inf. Contact your system administrator.The specific error is 0x@2 at line 2086412640." Actually this was my first encountered, i then checked out the Internet and found the solution to the problem:

Step 1: Look into %windir%\inf\sysoc.inf

IT: OE6

Today, my collegue informed me that she didn't receive an email from another colleague. I tried to search my email log and found no record of his email to her.

Checking his PC and found that the email was in Sent Item 18/3/2008 5:57PM
Well, he did send to his personal email as well and the answer is NO particular email in his personal email!

I asked him to send again today and YES the email was successfully sent out!

CURIOUS?
Me too...

March 12 2008

Nothing so special about this day! Actually, i was on half day leave.

Juz can't wait to see how the connection at mum place.

I just love it, man! It was 3 out of 5 column.I can easily ping the DNS: 202.188.0.133

:o

I didn't switch off the modem since i was back from office (i leave office around 1p.m). Yesterday, hubby and I had a clean format on both PC & laptop & had updated all the software! Previosuly both the PC & laptop were infected by virus MS32DLL.vbs.dll (torjan horse i suppose).

A little about M32DLL.vbs.dll

Firstly, No harm at all (don't worry) but the problem is you are unable to double click on all the drives and the only way to access the drive is to right click! (a little troublesome). Besides, you will see the word "Hacked by Godzilla" whenever you are accessing the IE. Another thing is, you will find wscript.exe in your task manager!

To solve:-

a) Using Kaspersky (AVG is not helping [able to quarantine the files only].I didn't know about the rest of the anti virus!)

b) Unhide the system files- Look into the drive (for autorun &Ms32dll.vbs.dll)- Delete them- Restart the computer.

IT: Stop Error "0x000007B Inaccesible Boot Device"

I had encountered this a few times before.Searching on the Internet and found no solution! <>Definitely, the users didn't install any program or adding new hardware(for me, they are rather inexperience n amateur!)

Probably i knew what is going wrong with their HDD:
- Bad sectors

What i did is to connect theirs HDD to mine (Windows XP) and run a SCANDISK. After all, i tried to reconnect to their CPU again and IT WORKS! (of course not all the time, I did re-format one before(total of 4 PCs encountered the same issue)

SUPRISING IZZIT?

IT: Locking the folder using password

I received a call from a colleague yesterday asking for help!
She need to lock the folder which contains P&C files.
I then told her..according to my understanding, there is no way!
As i know, you must use 3rd party software

This morning, I was looking into this and i found an interesting movie on this
