DROP BOX

stellir — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:15:18 +0000

I was recently introduced to a very useful free application
called DropBox. Now I have access to my most important files no
matter where I am. I can synchronize files to multiple computers
and my Iphone as well. Drop box offers a 2 Gigabyte free account to
start and this is more than enough to keep my active files
available to me wherever I happen to be. Forget your computer – No
Problem just go to their website and login and download the file
you need. A bonus is you can share a single file with someone else,
just send them a link directly to their email address and they will
have access. Forget about FTP or You-send-it. dropbox link

First you need to download the video to your computer. I used a website http://convertyoutube.com/

Now in Powerpoint you go into powerpoint options and put a check mark in Show Developer Tab in the ribbon.

Finally simply insert the Movie

Remember that when you play your powerpoint file you need to have the video saved on your computer.

Deep Freeze Alternative

stellir — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:26:21 +0000

In the past I have used a program called Deep Freeze by Faronics to protect client systems that are used in open public areas. The only problem with this software is it’s not free. I found a free alternative and put it on a computer used to monitor some security cameras. The software is called Steady State and although it is made by Microsoft, it is free! I also liked the fact I could lock access to all programs but the software I wish them to be able to use. It has many nice features including the ability to restrict Internet access to a specified user.

How To Fix “Missing or corrupt windows_root\system32\hal.dll”

stellir — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:25:40 +0000

This requires one of two possible fixes. It could be a missing or corrupted hal.dll file or a missing or damaged boot.ini file .

Either fix requires you to Boot from a Windows XP cd and go to recovery console.

missing or corrupt hal.dll file

cd system32

type map to reveal your cd drive
now type expand d:\i386\hal.dl_
now exit and reboot

If that does not fix your problem, the boot.ini fix is as follows
attrib -h -r -s c:\boot.ini
del c:\boot.ini
type bootcfg /rebuild
type y(es) to add the installation to the boot list
type a name for your install such as windows xp home
load options type /fastdetect
now type fixboot and Y(es)
type exit and restart
