On a retail copy of Vista Ultimate, can you activate the 32 and 64-bit versions with the same product key?

March 31st, 2008
vista ultimate
Andy asked:


I purchased Vista Ultimate when it first came out (Full retail version, not the upgrade). It came with both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs. I have the 32-bit version installed and was wondering if I would be able to format and install the 64-bit version and still use the same product key? Will I run into activation issues?

ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Green and Purple WMV

March 31st, 2008

The problem we are talking about today is green and purple discoloration on the new Radeon HD 3870 video card and other ATI graphics cards.  The problem is often the problem of DRM(Digital Rights Management) in Windows Media Player 11.  It is recommended to use WMP version 10 when in XP.  On a side note, the user upgraded to Vista recently and uninstalled WMP 11 and found that the only way to re-install it was to re-install Vista itself.  Microsoft’s Vista is as bad or worse than Windows ME (Millennium Edition).

Protect Your Identity Online

March 30th, 2008

In recent news.

It is estimated that 90% of all computers are infected with some form of spyware that may track keystrokes, allowing criminals to learn passwords and bank account numbers—essentially giving them access to anything and everything on your computer.

None of us ever really believe identity theft will happen to us but that is precisely what happened to over 10 million people last year alone. To say that we are at risk is an understatement. There are elite groups of cyber criminals forming in the far corners of the globe targeting consumers and businesses online.

Without proper protection, it is not a question of “if” you will become a victim-but “when”. Spyware technologies are becoming more advanced and sophisticated each year and are the primary tools for identity thieves. And firewalls and anti-virus software alone aren’t enough to stop them.

By the time identity theft has been discovered, 85% of victims have already lost money. But there is a far darker side to identity theft than the pure monetary loss: Credit score damage. If an identity thief remains undetected for too long or gains access to your social security number, credit score damage becomes a very real possibility. It can take years to regain complete control of your identity and the costs to you can run into the thousands. Your credit is literally your financial lifeline—protect it and your identity with Anonymizer’s online privacy solutions.

worm.win32.netbooster

March 30th, 2008

Found this little guy on a Compaq that came in to the shop today. There are 3 programs on the desktop error cleaner, privay protector, spyware & malware protection. Seems from what I have read it is an SDbot variant and you need to download SDfix

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

* Restart your computer
* After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
* Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
* Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press “Enter”.
* Choose your usual account.
* Open the extracted folder and double click “RunThis.bat” to start the script.
* Type “Y” to begin the script.
* It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
* Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
* Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
* When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display “Finished”, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
* Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and attach the contents of the results file “Report.txt”

Then run an online antivirus

Dell Dimension 4600C heatsink Alert! Chipset heatsink not detected. System Halted

March 30th, 2008

I had an older DELL Dimension 4600c come in today. I have come to know that the HS2 clip shown hereDell Dimension 4600c hs2 clasp

comes loose and causes the heatsink from the north bridge to come loose and give you a chipset error message “Alert! Chipset heatsink not detected. System Halted”

How do you fix this issue?

Arctic Silver AATA-5G Thermal Adhesive Arctic Silver AATA-5G Thermal AdhesiveArctic Silver AATA-5G Thermal Adhesive


Buy some Thermal Adhesive from Newegg.com
and mix a tiny amount (instructions) on top of the northbridge shown here

Dell Dimension 4600c northbridge

set the heatsink on top of the northbridge and allow the Themal Adhesive to bond. FYI, this is a PERMANENT BOND and will not come loose anytime soon. Just to be on the safe side you might set something heavy on top of the heatsink, just to make sure it is nice and snug. Let it sit for 24 hours before trying to apply the HS2 clasp and heatsink fasteners. The heatsink makes a circuit and tells the motherboard BIOS the heatsink is attached by the metal fasterner on the heatsink. The possibility of the HS2 clasp coming loose from the fastener is stil great and since the connection is needed for the system halt not to occur, we need to complete the circuit. Here we can do 2 things; we can bend the fastener on the heatsink so it completes the circuit but applies little presure to the HS2 or we can run a single copper wire from HS2 to HS1 either of which will work.

Web Directories and Page Ranks

March 30th, 2008
google page rank
Stanislav kovlanko asked:


to accomplish a first-rate web visibility in the eyes of search engines rankings has grown to be a requirement in today’s virtual world.

The practice of directories resembling to the Leading Links Directory serves the need of every business to an increase in its web traffic.

This may be completed by the use of magnifying its internet visibility at the internet.

The most advantageous method to create that could be to get listed in a link directory. The practice of this manner of a web directory saves you the time waste of investigating at every single commerce body goal related site.

This hunt could probably happen to be a time wasting exertion as there is a rising number of web sites which cause finding this information intentionally hard as so to attempt and to refuse spam as well as automated submissions.

Obviously the directories must be search engine compatible and to carry out a good page rank, that should cause the act of directory submission to become a useful and also a necessary instrument for online marketing.

Through doing it appropriately you can achieve an elevated spot with search engines results as well as the benefit of getting your website indexed, plus obviously obtain a click through internet traffic to your site.

There appears to exist a rising debate taking place on the net whether directories are worth submitting to them. There are those who would as that it’s a time waste submitting your website that even an immense amount of directories are worthless, those persons still put their trust in the field of search engine rankings in the web, on the other hand many of the webmasters become unsuccessful to realize the dissimilarity between the search engines to the directories.

This breakdown to tell between those two could probably guide into a fall down within the efficiency of the use of internet directories as a means of increase the sites page rank and also to generate virtual traffic, towards the internet site.

The programmed “spiders” that are being used by means of the search engines whose mere target is to blindly accumulate information from the web pages so as to insert them to their database. This is why search engines in addition use human editors to try and study website pages prior to when they are added in to their directories.

That is one of the reasons why it’s extremely important that you watchfully decide on the directory you want.

We at The LeadingLinksDirectory believe the means of human editor will achieve a dissimilarity and furthermore that a badly designed web site that is not well designed would be perceived by the eyes of search engines such as a negative web site. That is the main reason we only use chosen exclusive humanly edited internet sites as well as sustain usual inspection and maintenance on our internet site as well as its variety of categories.

Once you present your website onto a internet directory whether it’s a free of fee web directory or else an un free internet directory, it is vital to inspect it when ever you can and than to observe that errors (if there might be any) are corrected, and that the information brought on the web site is brought up to date time and again. So you will have the best way to know you chose the best internet site designed for you.

To cut a long story short there are some people who might claim that web based directories are only a few internet sites containing categories, merely a cluster of links collected from within the internet.

Though they truly are a method meant for surfers to easily situate the links they were trying to find, with the use of exact categories, the same as Commerce as well as Arts and Crafts, each one of them enclosing specific data and info concerning exactly these subjects, without the need to spend precious time scanning the net for it, and naturally the use of the sub-categories makes the act of “fishing” for data and information yet easier.

On the other hand for you it’s a great method to lift your web site’s popularity in the list of the search engines rankings.

With choosing the web directory appropriate for you, an all purpose one or rather a specified one that will really portrays your internet site, inside the directory you have the ability to select the best fitting category or maybe sub category in order to include your web site.

Prior to submitting your internet site to a directory might call for a tad of work time, however it can obtain you the search engine rankings that your site should carry out.
