How to stop annoying continue prompt box whatever you do in Windows Vista?

Windows Vista gives you annoying "Authorisation" prompt box for every operation you do. But generally, it doesn't provide you any security. More over when you do copy paste, moving files to another location, and so many normal operation which user want to do without any interruption is not possible in windows vista.

Because, whatever you do, it gives you the prompt box to press continue or cancel. Obviously you will choose continue for the above operations i mentioned. Fine. How to stop that prompt window?

Just open Control Panel > Click on "Switch to classic view" (in the left pane of the window) >> You will be able to see "User Accounts" or " User Control Settings" > click on that >> You will be able to see " User Control Assignments" and that checkbox will be enabled > Just deselect it >> press apply and ok. You may need to restart your computer for that changes to take effect.

You can do normal operations without any annoying prompt messages... Have Fun! :-)

How to add Google Talk in your Webpage / Blog?


Like Meebo, Google Talk now lets you to chat with people who may not even have an account with Google

Google makes it possible through a new Google Talk Chat Badge where bloggers can embed in their web pages to chat live with blog readers and other site visitors.

It really doesn’t matter whether your readers have a Google Talk account or not, But still, they can talk to you through the web page as long as you are signed into your GTalk account.

Another use of Google Talk - If you run a support website where you provide live support to customers via IM, Google Talk could be a wonderful option for you because its free and definitely very reliable.

The Google Talk chat badge on the blog will be automatically disabled if you set your Google Talk status as "Busy". And you chat with more than one person at the same time as each session will open in a separate tab (Refer Screenshot Above).

All you have to do is, Just go to the following URL to get the embed code;

http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New

Or Just paste the following script code on your blog page element.

iframe src="http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/Show?tk=z01q6amlqgkmmhhdmghlmjq9mhblr1qof6n4skoel9v3c3upo50qd0t476gcgiovmm69lu4pp1p85f1kqq183399deko8nrgf5tah9mg71nolumicf50r9s0n0op8eqv8i0cg0tm53n5bjqk6e6dq0q21k7q8l7n66htbb9vj&w=200&h=60" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" width="200" height="60" iframe

Just open the delimeter tag <> for iframe and source and close the same for iframe which is last like <> /, should come in between those tag.

It will looks like the following if you added the above code in your webpage



Have fun with google talk! :)

How to uninstall Windows Vista and Install Windows XP in Dell Laptop?

Tired of poor performance in Windows Vista? Want to rollback to Bug Free Windows XP?

If you have purchased your laptop with Windows Vista, It doesn't support you to install Windows XP by default. Dont need to panic. It requires easy steps to resolve it.

Just restart your PC and go to BIOS settings. (While you restart press F2 to enter into BIOS settings - Key Differs based on the manufacturer, Check the manual how to enter into BIOS)

There you can see "Onboard Devices" (differs based on the bios version, so if you are not able to find onboard devices, just search for the following in any submenu) Select it. In the submenu you can see "SATA Operations" Just select and press Enter. Right side you will have two options "ATA" & "AHC1". Your computer must be in the AHC1 mode. That is the reason you are not able to boot through XP installation CD. So what you have to do is, Just select "ATA" and press enter. Now press ESC key in the keyboard. Select "SAVE & EXIT" from the bios settings.

Now put the Windows XP installation CD in your media drive and choose the boot menu from the CD. You will be able to boot through XP without any hassle... Have fun with XP.

Laptop / Desktop OS not Booting, Not able to enter into BIOS, Hyphen is continously blinking over the screen !!!

Operating System - XP, Vista not Bootable, Not able to enter into BIOS, F2, F8, F12 keys not working;
Solution for the problem which occurs often for the LAPTOP ...

Do you see a hyphen is blinking continously after the booting? Tired of pressing F2, F8, F12 for booting options and safemode options? None works...

This problem occurs because of the STATIC POWER goes into the hardware component of your laptop. It's purely a electronic & power problem. It might happen If you leave your charger ON all the times to your laptop.

Just THREE STEPS solve this issue;
#1: Switch off your computer / Remove your Battery from the laptop
#2: Remove all external devices like charger, USB hard disk, Printer etc
#3: Just hold your POWER BUTTON FOR 15 SECONDS CONTINOUSLY

Leave the power button now and connect your battery and charger of your laptop together. Now restart your computer... I see you smiling around because now you can see your Operating System is booting just fine. :-)

Increase your System Performance(Speed) in XP Professional

Improve your XP Performance; Avoid slowing down your system by the following unnecessary reasons…

#1: System Restore and Indexing Services

This applies for Windows XP Professional and Home Edition.

There are two services which cause unnecessary memory usage of your PC. These services are also a major cause of "missing" disk space. System Restore Service usually takes up 3 GB of space, just on it's own.

Usually System Restore take a snapshot where you can restore that point if any system failure occurs. Though it’s a useful service in windows xp it occupies lot of memory space so it slow down your PC literally. It create a “Restore Point” whenever you install a new driver. So that It can help you to rollback your PC to the working condition if any failure occurs during your new driver or software installation.

In case if you are enjoying this service it’s all good for you. Because if you disable this service your previous restore points also will be erased.

Fine. To disable this service and increase your system speed you got to disable this service. Where do you find it?

With the default Classic Control Panel:

Pretty Two easy steps for user who is familiar of Operating System.

Head to My Computer in the desktop or start menu >> Just do right click on My Computer >> Click on Properties >> There you can find a tab called “System Restore” >> Click on it >> “Turn of System Restore on all drives” Just click (enable) that check box where a tick mark will appear >> You will get a warning “previous restore points also will be deleted” >> Just click Ok >> Here you go….

In Detailed…

Go to Start >>
Select Control Panel >>
Select Performance and Maintenance >>
Select System >>
Select System Restore Tab >>
Check "Turn off System Restore" >>
Select the Ok button to apply the settings >>
With the Classic Control Panel:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#2: To stop the “INDEXING SERVICES”

Head to Start >> Select “RUN” >> A new pop up window will appear >> Just type “SERVICES.MSC” >> A new Services window will open >> There Just look for “INDEXING SERVICE” >> Just double click on it >> A new properties window will open >> In the Startup Type Select “Manual” >> And if Service status showing “Running” You can stop the service by just click on “Stop” button which is next to “Start” button. Easy isn’t it… J

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#3: Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop Sharing

Remove Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop Sharing.

Note: Remote Desktop Sharing is not available with Windows XP Home. You may request assistance from someone only using Windows XP Pro.

Where do you find it?

Head to My Computer in the desktop or start menu >> Just do right click on My Computer >> Click on Properties >> There you can find a tab called “Remote” >> Click on it >> “Just Uncheck both checkbox If it is enabled” Just click (disable) that check box where a tick mark will disappear >> Click on “Apply” >> Just click Ok >>
Done…


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#4: Paging File

Adjust the paging file to a respectable level. This is valid for Windows XP Home and Pro.

Can you get rid of the paging file? Yes and no. If you have a boat load of memory (greater than 1GB, but I recommend 2 GB) you may be able to function just fine. Some games requires a certain amount of swap space to be created to run properly, No matter how much RAM available in your PC. Also, under certain times, sound card may goes crazy (or does not even function) in some games with no paging file (oddly enough, Age of Empires 2). If you decide to test your luck with no paging file, you are on your own. :) Paging file is different and each persons requirement of how many applications are open at a time is different.. I usually do not have one "unless something requires it that I am running that day."

Where do you find it?

Head to My Computer in the desktop or start menu >> Just do right click on My Computer >> Click on Properties >> There you can find a tab called “Advanced” >> Select it >> “Under Performance tab” “Virtual Settings” Just click “Settings” >> “Select Change Button” >> Adjust as needed, or select "No paging File," then select the Set button > Select Ok button to apply these settings >> You must restart your PC for the changes to take effect

If anything, create (preferably on a separate partition), a paging of constant size. For example, select Custom Size and place 1000 in "Initial" and 1000 in "Maximum" Size boxes, then click Set Button. This will reduce the amount of work needed to dynamically resize the paging file, usually when you need it most.

Some definitions need to be explained:

Physical RAM ~ The amount of Memory (RAM) installed on a system. Physical RAM is "way" faster than a "paging file."

Paging File ~ The file that is located on your hard drive that "acts" like Physical RAM but is way slower.

Virtual Memory ~ The name used for the sum of Physical RAM and the Paging File. In other words: Physical RAM + Paging File = Virtual Memory. You cannot "disable" Virtual Memory even if you disable the Paging File. Meaning, 2 GB RAM + 0 MB Paging File = 2 GB Virtual Memory.

If you have not already, reboot now.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#5: Themes

Reduce the overhead associated with WinXP's new Themes. This is valid for Windows XP Home and Pro. I have observed between 4 MB to 12 MB of RAM used for the new themes.

Head to My Computer in the desktop or start menu >> Just do right click on My Computer >> Click on Properties >> There you can find a tab called “Advanced” >> Select “Visual Effects” settings >> Select “Adjust for best performance” >>>> Click Apply and Ok >> Done

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, Disable and Stop the Themes service.


Head to Start >> Select “RUN” >> A new pop up window will appear >> Just type “SERVICES.MSC” >> A new Services window will open >> There Just look for “themes” >> Just double click on it >> A new properties window will open >> In the Startup Type Select “disabled” >> And if Service status showing “Running” You can stop the service by just click on “Stop” button which is next to “Start” button. Easy isn’t it… J



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#6: Add/Remove Programs

This is valid for Windows XP Home and Pro. Go to the "Add Remove Programs" and click the "Windows components." Here, take out all the crap you do not need. Such as "MSN EXPLORER" and such.

After Removing the unused Windows components, ensure that you check back up on the services that you disabled. Some like to go back to Automatic after playing with the Windows components (namely COM+ and Help and Support).

You may also adjust a file to "allow" you to remove other Windows components, such as MSN Messenger. Here is how:

NOTE: You will need to enable "hidden file" viewing to see the inf files.

IF YOU ARE SCARED, DO NOT MODIFY THE FILE... Also, you may experience a delay of around 30 seconds or more when loading up Outlook before you can do anything. Putting Messenger back will allow Outlook to function properly again. If you use MSN Explorer, Messenger will also be running in the background. It is how Bill is getting to the ".NET" stuff. "Software as a service" is coming soon.

Go to your Windows\inf folder. The default is ~ c:\windows\inf

edit the file called "sysoc.inf"

Remove the reference of "hide" in this line:

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7

To make it look like this:

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7

You may also remove all references to "hide" in all of the other lines as long as you KEEP the commas. Some components you cannot "uncheck" in the add/remove programs GUI. If you do get them to uninstall, I do NOT support it. You are on your own.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#7: Drivers!

This is valid for Windows XP Home and Pro. Download and install ALL updated drivers from the hardware manufacture sites. Restart your computer again.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#8: System Tray

After updating the drivers, remove any excess icons (all of them, basically) from the system tray (lower right) and recheck the services to ensure nothing else was installed (like NVIDIA's "driver helper." Contrary to popular belief, those little "quick access" icons take up a lot of memory.

You can go to the system tray services by typing “MSCONFIG” in the run prompt. In the startup you can remove the unnecessary services like I mentioned above…

For example, MSN messenger takes about 3.6 MB just sitting there unnecessarily... You might not have logged in... Bring it up, select tools, options, then uncheck "load at startup" and uncheck "allow to run in background."

Also, Creatives "AudioHQ" running is REALLY not required.
