I recently come across with a problem on Windows Vista. When Vista is started the login screen didn’t
come out and the background was all black and only with a moving mouse pointer. When I went to Safe Mode it
works perfectly fine.

It happens that the logs in the Event Viewer corrupted. So to fix this problem you do this:

1. Insert Windows Vista DVD and go to repair your computer.
2. Select your OS and hit NEXT
3. Click open Command Prompt
4. You are now on X:\Sources so now we go to the C drive by typing

C:

5. Go to the Windows event log folder by typing

cd C:\Windows\System32\winevt

6. Type

ren Logs Logs_old

7. Type

mkdir Logs

8. Restart your Windows Vista

Hope that works! :P

Doing maintenance on a client PC is an annoying task especially when you have to download and re-install back every tiny software, drivers and whatever as it consumes alot of my time. Plus with Streamyx downloading would is a burden to everyone. And for me the annoyance is when I am on-site without an internet connection and I cant download a specific software or driver that is needed to get the job done.

Normally for a company I would suggest them to have an exact specification for all their computers or printers and what not which would save me a lot of valuable time when doing maintenance. For instance, if PC A is down and needs to be formatted, I would just plug in my Hiren BOOTCD and do commands or simply use Norton Ghost and clone any other well working PC’s hard disk to the problem PC. After that with minimal re-setting everything’s done. Just like that. It normally takes me less than 15 minutes to fix anything. But I’m not only talking about Norton Ghost, Hiren BOOTCD has like tons of useful applications to be used. So today I’ll be featuring Hiren’s BOOTCD – The ultimate All-In-One (AIO) Bootable CD

Hiren’s website didn’t have a lot of information though so I copied this from another website:

Hiren’s Boot CD 10.1 & All Other Versions

Hiren’s BootCD is a wonderful live CD containing various programs such as Hard drive recovery, Hard Drive Partition, Hard Drive Backup, Hard Drive Testing, RAM (Memory) Testing, System Information, MBR (Master BootRecord), BIOS, MultiMedia, Password, NTFS (FileSystems), Antivirus, AntiSpy, Process, Windows Startup, Registry tools, Windows Cleaners, Optimizers, Tweakers, and many others… As it is a bootable CD, it can be useful even if the primary operating system cannot be booted.
We may call it as an emergency cd which every computer technician or home user must have.

Here are some other useful information:

I recently come across this troublesome situation where I cant access telnet from Command Prompt.

So here’s how it’s done.

• Start > Computer then click ‘Uninstall or change a program’ on the top button bar.
• Click ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ on the left side panel and click ‘Continue’
• Scroll down and tick ‘Telnet Client’ & click ‘OK’

Done. That simple huh?

Yea so I haven’t been writing so much lately. I’m sorry for that but real-life seems messed up and it needed some fixing. Not to mention that I had the fucking worse 2 months of my entire life and career. Having loss everything that I’ve worked for 2 years made me almost a crazy MOFO. So I had to go away for awhile just for the sake of taking a LONG deep breath and clear all the bad experiences that happened out from my poor little brain. I tell you guys I seriously don’t think I can just forget about it and move on but heck I actually did. I’ve finally moved on and I’m ready to try again from scratch only to know that I’ve gotten wiser now. It will be the last I promise.

I’m 100% sure that no one knows what I’m talking about right now but dude that’s the whole point! haha. Let it just be the ones that knows about it knows and keep it to themselves.

The real reason why I’m writing this post is because I want to share with you guys my latest desktop screenshot. Yeap! I’ve finally used Windows Vista and as much as I hate to say this, It’s been doing quite well for me. (ARGH!) Though I hated a few features of Windows Vista, such as the ask permissions to perform tasks. I find it rather annoying. And not to mention that Vista eats a lot of resources but I guess that’s normal. As for compatibility issue for 3rd Party software’s, so far the only problem I had was when I was trying to install Nero 6 and apart from that there seems to be no other problems, yet. So again, as much as I hate (really really hate) to say this, overall I’m impressed (NOOO! smack my head!)

Some of the features that I like on Vista worth mentioning are Vista AERO, the sidebar widget and the medium size icons. AERO is actually somewhat cool. I know that Compiz has more effects and 10 million times cooler than AERO (Compiz rules!), but I think for a Windows operating system that eats resources like a pig, it’s enough for me. I love the sidebar widget simply because I get to see the weather report, nothing more. ahaha! =P Sediakan jacket sebelum hujan you know!

So my conclusion for the whole Vista story is, overall I’m satisfied with it and I would indeed recommended it to any novice users but simply because it’s WAY easier to use than XP. Even though sometimes it’s just straight up annoying and graphically, I still love Linux & Compiz no matter what. hehe!

Hence I introduce you my new desktop screenshot!
