Im IT , only do it if you feel comfortable with changing registry.Increasing network browsing speedDoes your computer slow down when you browse your local area network and connect to other computers that are sharing data? One of the most common causes of this slowdown is a feature of Windows Explorer that looks for scheduled tasks on remote computers. This effort can take some time on some computers and can really slow down your browsing. The window with which you are browsing the network may appear to freeze momentarily, as the system is waiting for a response from the remote computer.Windows XP: Speeding Disk AccessAlthough this problem is a complex one, the solution is very simple.

How to Use Windows XP "System Restore
2008-03-10 15:12:00 Whether it's the word processor, spreadsheet, or financial package that isn't working, most people do not know that Microsoft Windows XP has a built in feature that just may come and save the day. That feature is called "System Restore ."Basically, System Restore is like a little hound that runs behind the scenes taking "snapshots" of various parts of the Microsoft Windows X P operating system. So, if a part of Microsoft Windows XP stops working one day, the System Restore utility is able to reference one of the "snapshots" it took and restore your system from a previous day (a day when your computer worked). It's kind of like going back in time to a day when your computer worked. All your current data (Microsoft Word files, etc.) are still retained, so you don't have to worry about losing any present day files.In order to restore your computer just follow these simple steps:1. Close any open programs.2. Click on the Windows "Start" button (normally located on the bottom of your c... More About: Operating System
Boot Block Recovery For Free
2008-03-10 14:51:00 Boot Block Recovery For Free You don't need to pay a measly sum of dollars just to recover from a boot block mode. Here it is folks:AWARD Bootblock recovery:That shorting trick should work if the boot block code is not corrupted, and it should not be if /sb switch is used when flashing the bios (instead of /wb switch).The 2 pins to short to force a checksum error varies from chip to chip. But these are usually the highest-numbered address pins (A10 and above).These are the pins used by the system to read the System BIOS (original.bin for award v6), calculate the ROM checksum and see if it's valid before decompressing it into memory, and subsequently allow Bootblock POST to pass control over to the System BIOS.You just have to fool the system into believing that the System BIOS is corrupt. This you do by giving your system a hard time reading the System BIOS by shorting the 2 high address pins. And when it could not read the System BIOS properly, ROM Checksum Error is detected "so t...

BIOS Update Procedure
2008-03-10 14:50:00 BIOS Update ProcedureAll latest Motherboards today, 486/ Pentium / Pentium Pro etc.,ensure that upgrades are easily obtained by incorporating the system BIOS in a FLASH Memory component. With FLASH BIOS, there is no need to replace an EPROM component. Once downloaded, the upgrade utility fits on a floppy disc allowing the user to save, verify and update the system BIOS. A hard drive or a network drive can also be used to run the newer upgrade utilities. However, memory managers can not be installed while upgrading.Most pre-Pentium motherboards do not have a Flash BIOS. The following instructions therefore do not apply to these boards. If your motherboard does not have a Flash BIOS (EEPROM) you will need to use an EPROM programmer to re-program the BIOS chip. See your dealer for more information about this.Please read the following instructions in full before starting a Flash BIOS upgrade:A.

Big Brother And Ndisuio.sys, A new Internet phenomenon
2008-03-10 14:50:00 Big Brother and Ndisuio.sysA new Internet phenomenon?Ndisuio.sys, a very mysterious system file is present in Windows XP and is a driver for wireless things such as wi-fi and bluetooth. However, there have been many issues with this file downloading immense amounts of data and perhaps causing activity that is "big brother"ish.The fact that hardly any information on this file downloading data is available by Microsoft makes things quite suspicious about it. It has even been noted that it looked as if it was transferring data to major companies like Comcast, Road Runner, Time Warner, BTC and Verizon.The good news is, it turns out this file duplicates data that is sent/received, so wherever you go, it will also transfer the data to that file but it does not leave the computer/network so it's not spyware. So it's not as much of a big brother situation then it looks like. It simply performs internal communication tasks and stands for NDIS user I/O, hence, NDISUIO. NDISUIO is also used ...

Caught Virus
2008-02-23 04:32:00 If you've let your guard down--or even if you haven't--it can be hard to tell if your PC is infected. Here's what to do if you suspect the worst.Heard this one before? You must run antivirus software and keep it up to date or else your PC will get infected, you'll lose all your data, and you'll incur the wrath of every e-mail buddy you unknowingly infect because of your carelessness.You know they're right. Yet for one reason or another, you're not running antivirus software, or you are but it's not up to date. Maybe you turned off your virus scanner because it conflicted with another program. Maybe you got tired of upgrading after you bought Norton Antivirus 2001, 2002, and 2003. Or maybe your annual subscription of virus definitions recently expired, and you've put off renewing.It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of. But chances are, either you're infected right now, as we speak, or you will be very soon.For a few days in late January, the Netsky.p worm was infecting ...

security features built into Windows XP
2008-02-23 04:30:00 Because of the security features built into Windows XP, it is virtually impossible to get back into the system without the password.You have several options to try and get around this problem.If you have access to another user account with administrator rights, you can use that account to change the passwordof the account that is locked out. You can also use the default Administrator account that is built into Windows X P.First you need to boot the system into Safe Mode.1.Restart your system.2.When you see the blue Dell globe or screen, press the ( F8 ) key about 3 times a second.3.You should get the Windows startup menu.

Calculating Offsets
2008-02-23 04:30:00 IntroductionThis tutorial is more of a tip than a tutorial. It just explains how to calculate offsets for jumps and calls within the program you are patching.Types of Jumps/CallsHere I will just describe the different types of jumps and calls which you will come across:Short JumpsShort jumps be they conditional or unconditional jumps are 2 bytes long (or 1 nibble if your Californian ;-). These are relative jumps taken from the first byte after the two bytes of the jump. Using short jumps you can jump a maximum of 127 bytes forward and 128 bytes backwards.Long JumpsLong jumps if they are relative are 6 bytes long for conditional jumps and are 5 bytes long for unconditional jumps. For conditional jumps 2 bytes are used to identify that it is a long jump and what type of jump (je, jg, jns etc) it is. The other 4 bytes are used to show how far away the target location is relative to the first byte after the jump. In an unconditional jump only 1 byte is used to identify it as a long unco...

Bit Torrent Tutorials
2008-02-23 04:29:00 Bit Torrent Tutorials The first things you need to know about using Bit Torrent :-- Bit Torrent is aimed at broadband users (or any connection better than dialup).-- Sharing is highly appreciated, and sharing is what keeps bit torrent alive.-- A bit torrent file (*.torrent) contains information about the piece structure of the download (more on this later)-- The method of downloading is not your conventional type of download. Since downloads do not come in as onebig chunk, you are able to download from many people at once, increasing your download speeds. There may be100 "pieces" to a file, or 20,000+ pieces, all depending on what you're downloading. Pieces are usually small (under 200kb)-- The speeds are based upon people sharing as they download, and seeders. Seeders are people who constantlyshare in order to keep torrents alive. Usually seeders are on fast connections (10mb or higher).In this tutorial, I will be describing it all using a bit torrent client called Azureus. This cli... More About: Software , Operating System

Enjoy) cold.gifBIOS Beep CodesWhen a computer is first turned on, or rebooted, its BIOS performs a power-on self test (POST) to test the system's hardware, checking to make sure that all of the system's hardware components are working properly. Under normal circumstances, the POST will display an error message; however, if the BIOS detects an error before it can access the video card, or if there is a problem with the video card, it will produce a series of beeps, and the pattern of the beeps indicates what kind of problem the BIOS has detected.Because there are many brands of BIOS, there are no standard beep codes for every BIOS.The two most-used brands are AMI (American Megatrends International) and Phoenix.Below are listed the beep codes for AMI systems, and here are the beep codes for Phoenix systems.AMI Beep CodesBeep Code M...

Bandwidth Explained!
2008-02-20 19:31:00 This is well written explanation about bandwidth, very useful info.BandWidth ExplainedMost hosting companies offer a variety of bandwidth options in their plans. So exactly what is bandwidth as it relates to web hosting? Put simply, bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet. The amount of bandwidth a hosting company can provide is determined by their network connections, both internal to their data center and external to the public internet.Network ConnectivityThe internet, in the most simplest of terms, is a group of millions of computers connected by networks. These connections within the internet can be large or small depending upon the cabling and equipment that is used at a particular internet location. It is the size of each network connection that determines how much bandwidth is available. For example, if you use a DSL connection to connect to the internet, you have 1.54 Mega bits (Mb) of bandwidth. Bandwid... More About: Internet , Computer , Bandwidth
Backtracking EMAIL Messages
2008-02-20 19:30:00 Backtracking EMAIL Messages Tracking email back to its source: Twisted Evilcause i hate spammers... Evil or Very MadAsk most people how they determine who sent them an email message and the response is almost universally, "By the From line." Unfortunately this symptomatic of the current confusion among internet users as to where particular messages come from and who is spreading spam and viruses. The "From" header is little more than a courtesy to the person receiving the message. People spreading spam and viruses are rarely courteous. In short, if there is any question about where a particular email message came from the safe bet is to assume the "From" header is forged.So how do you determine where a message actually came from? You have to understand how email messages are put together in order to backtrack an email message. SMTP is a text based protocol for transferring messages across the internet. A series of headers are placed in front of the data portion of the message. By ex... More About: Internet , Email |
