0Wireless WiFi 802.11 ABGN LogoResolved: Wireless video streaming problem

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Misc Hardware. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

I have a very strange issue which is caus­ing prob­lems play­ing videos over a wireless‑n net­work. Play­ing the videos causes the net­work to drop out after a short peri­od. Some­times this only lasts for 2–3 seconds, which just causes a video stut­ter. Oth­er times the drop out is more per­man­ent and takes nearly a minute to recov­er, unless the wire­less radio is switched off and back on, whereupon recon­nec­tion occurs.

5BT sport does work on Windows 7

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Web Technologies. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

If you have BT sport and try to view it on a Win­dows 7 PC you will find sev­er­al warn­ings and the con­tent may even not play. This is done entirely delib­er­ately by BT (at Microsoft’s behest?) for no tech­nic­al reas­ons what-so-ever. You can eas­ily get it work­ing again

11Windows Update IconFix Windows Update or Service Pack error 80073712

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Windows. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

It’s that time of year again, and as always, when I vis­it the fam­ily over xmas there are vari­ous PC issues to resolve. This year there were blessedly few issues, but there was 1 prob­lem that it took me quite a while to track down and resolve. One of the fam­il­ies PCs was fail­ing to install Win­dows 7 ser­vice pack 1. It’s a fairly new PC and came with an OEM install of Win­dows 7 x64 Home Premi­um, all legit and activ­ated. It also has up-to-date anti-vir­us pro­tec­tion, and oth­er than the SP1 install prob­lems it seemed to be in excel­lent work­ing order.… Διαβάστε ολόκληρο το άρθρο

0dosboxRunning 16bit Windows apps on Windows 7

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Misc Software. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

Whilst set­ting up a new laptop with Win­dows 7 x64 recently, I was asked if I could get some old 16bit pro­grams run­ning. One of these was an edu­ca­tion­al piece of soft­ware called “Mul­ti­me­dia Motion II” by Cam­bridge Sci­ence Media. This is a win­dows pro­gram that has worked on all pre­vi­ous ver­sions of win­dows up to win­dows XP. How­ever, Win­dows 7 x64 no longer sup­ports 16bit Win­dows pro­grams, and instead throws the error about being an “Unsup­por­ted 16-bit applic­a­tion”… Διαβάστε ολόκληρο το άρθρο

0Updating QT Lite & QuickTime alternative

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Codecs. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

I’ve long been a user of Quick­Time Altern­at­ive, as a much light­er altern­at­ive to the full Apple Quick­Time. Sadly QT Altern­at­ive (and its cous­in QT Lite) has­n’t been updated in over a year, whilst Quick­Time has received sev­er­al secur­ity and bug fixes. Updat­ing QT Lite is a straight­for­ward pro­cess which I will detail below. I have also built an updated installer which is avail­able on the [int­link id=“741” type=“page”]downloads page[/intlink].  This installer is based on Apple Quick­Time 7.7.3 (28-Dec-2012)

2MCEBuddy LogoMCEBuddy Reloaded: h264 wtv conversion

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Misc Media Software, Windows Media Center. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

I have wanted the facil­ity to con­vert my recor­ded WTV files to anoth­er format for as long as I’ve had a MediaPC. The lead can­did­ate has always been MCE­Buddy, but for over 2 years the pro­ject was stalled (as far as the user was con­cerned at least) by prob­lems sup­port­ing h264 video inside wtv files.… Διαβάστε ολόκληρο το άρθρο

0WordPress Local Gravatar cache

Posted με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Wordpress.

I like to have avatars shown for people who com­ment on my blog. Word­Press sup­ports the gravatar ser­vice nat­ively so enabling this is very easy. How­ever it comes with a cost — access­ing extern­al files from anoth­er domain adds lots of extra load time in the form of new DNS look­ups, new SSL con­nec­tions to make, etc. Would­n’t it be nice to have gravatars stored loc­ally and served from your own serv­er. Well that’s what I’ve been doing for some time now, if you’d like to know how, read on…

0adobe acrobat pdf logoAdding searching of PDF file contents from Windows search

Δημοσίευσε με & κατατίθενται στο πλαίσιο Misc Software. Τελευταία ενημέρωση .

Win­dows 7 (and Vista) include a search sys­tem that can search not just file names, but the con­tents of files. Microsoft Office doc­u­ments are all sup­por­ted by default, ωστόσο PDF files are not. Adobe provide a plu­gin which is included with Adobe Read­er 9 (and new­er) which enables this func­tion­al­ity. How­ever a 64bit plu­gin is not included. Adobe now provide ver­sion 9 of their iFil­ter for x64 64bit sys­tems which is freely downloadable
