0Microsoft Office Outlook LogoPerspectiva 2007 generating corruption in some sent e‑mails

Publicados por & Arquivado em Tecnologias Web. Ultima atualização .

I recently encountered a very strange prob­lem in out­look 2007. E‑mails sent to large num­bers of recip­i­ents (approx 30) were suf­fer­ing from some cor­rup­tion where a large part of the head­er was appear­ing in the con­tent of the e‑mail. The appeared as a long string of ran­dom char­ac­ters fol­lowed by some text (eg “Sosha1_v1;7” and “x‑cr-puzzleid”) that sug­ges­ted the garbled text was part of the out­look anti-spam “post­mark” fea­ture. The e‑mail mes­sage appeared as nor­mal below this cor­rupt text. Anoth­er symp­tom of the prob­lem was e‑mail fail­ing to send prop­erly the first time send/receive was clicked.

0Dentro HDD LogoAcelerar Media Browser

Publicados por & Arquivado em Media Browser, Armazenamento. Ultima atualização .

Um artigo sobre Hack7MC chamou minha atenção um par de meses atrás, mas eu só agora cheguei a seguinte em cima dele. A idéia é acelerar o plugin para o navegador de mídia para o Media Center, movendo sua biblioteca para um barato USB Flash drive, que esperamos que oferece um desempenho muito melhor do que as unidades de disco rígido normais. A primeira coisa que fiz foi teste de um par de dispositivos baseados em flash que eu tenho contra meu desktop HardDrive ...

0Dial-Up LogoWindows 7 dial-up connection autodial

Publicados por & Arquivado em Tecnologias Web. Ultima atualização .

Over the xmas hol­i­days I was asked to look at a few issues with a fam­ily PC. One of the prob­lems was a minor annoy­ance related to the modem-based DSL inter­net con­nec­tion. The dial up box has a tick box which says “con­nect auto­mat­ic­ally”. Although this box was ticked, when the PC was restar­ted when a con­nec­tion was required the same dia­log box would show up, with the option unticked.

I recently had a prob­lem with 2 PCs which appeared to be con­figured identic­ally, but whilst one would play a FLV down­loaded from you­tube, the oth­er would fail. Some oth­er FLVs played OK on both sys­tems. After much fur­ther invest­ig­a­tion I dis­covered that the act­iveX ver­sion of flash play­er on 1 of the PC’s was up-to-date, but on the oth­er was not.

0GigaByte Dynamic Energy Saver LogoAudio issues with gigabyte power saver

Publicados por & Arquivado em Software Diversos. Ultima atualização .

I’ve been suf­fer­ing from audio dis­tor­tion issues when play­ing back movies on my recently rebuilt HTPC. After much test­ing I dis­covered a solu­tion — dis­abling (in my case by unin­stalling) the giga­byte dynam­ic energy saver util­ity. I am not sure if this tool only causes prob­lems because of my spe­cif­ic con­fig­ur­a­tion of codecs, but it cer­tainly did cause prob­lems across a range of hard­ware and media play­ers. Dis­abling it imme­di­ately resolved the prob­lem.

0Creating Windows 7 DVD from digital distribution

Publicados por & Arquivado em Software Diversos. Ultima atualização .

I got my copy of win­dows 7 via digit­al pur­chase, and after run­ning the down­loaded EXE was left with the con­tents of a setup CD in a folder. Now i want to do a clean install so I need to cre­ate a boot­able DVD . A bit of googling revealed the way to do this. Down-load e instalar WAIK for win­dows 7 from microsoft. Instale-o, and then use the com­mand line as fol­lows…

0Dentro HDD LogoSpeed up SSDs, especially in netbooks

Publicados por & Arquivado em Armazenamento. Ultima atualização .

I recently upgraded the SSD in an Asus eeePC 901, and whilst the size and per­form­ance were both bet­ter, the per­form­ance upgrade still was­n’t on par with even a 5+ year old laptop HDD. The prob­lem with most SSDs, espe­cially the cheap­er ones, is that they usu­ally have very poor write per­form­ance with small files. This can make win­dows very slug­gish and unre­spons­ive at times.
