Google OS available next week?

The rumor was started by the site techcrunch.com: Google might release its OS in the course of next week. What can we expect for this first "official" version? Um, honestly, hard to say. Google has repeated that he would listen that he was working with Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments Toshiba or even to refine its OS.

Wait & see ...

* I read on another site specializing Chrome OS, it should not count OS install chrome on our current machine, and it will be preferable to wait for machines designed specifically for. So ... even if it comes out next week, it will take the appropriate machine (probably in the category of netbooks)

* I would opt for Windows Seven but when I see the price prohibitive for my purse, I was still in XP. ... but it does not support enough RAM for what I done, I expect to be a competitor worthy of the name (range of Linux still is not one in my eyes)
Welcome to the Google OS then if it benefits competition
Google has the strength to get there, where the Linux force errors synergy have not planted

* Chrome OS, it will be something for minimalist low-end PC.
So if you're limited by Windows XP because of the RAM, which is surely not to Chrome that will turn you ...
As for Windows in September (not Seven), it costs less than 100 euros in dairies good ... If you can not invest EUR 100 for an OS that you can take a few years, there can not be anything for you.

Browser Security Test by BCheck

BCheck (Browser Check) is an online service that checks your browser security and assesses the robustness of the tandem formed by the web browser and the security suite installed on the system.

* The browser is infallible, none of these tests should fail.
* The browser is fallible, the tests should trigger an alert security suite (otherwise it is not appropriate for the effective protection of modern threats).
* If any test fails, it is imperative to change browser, or update.

Windows Audio service not running in windows 7

I had a issue in windows 7, The audio service is identified as Windows Audio Service, for whatever reason it seems to think it doesn't start when It actually is started.

I keep getting a message with the task bar icon (red circle with X) and the message Audio Service not running. But my sound all works fine. If I log out and back in the service will usually start but not on original boot.

I have tried to identify which service this is in my services list but can't really tell what it is.

After a while of tinkering I figured out that if I muted the audio and then un-muted the message would go away and red icon would be removed from the sound icon.

Now I haven't had the issue for a while now though. Perhaps an update to the drivers fixed it at some point.

Avg AntiVirus with windows 7

The best AVG build running on the windows 7 RCs is the latest 8.5 build and nothing prior to the 8.0 version. The 8.5 at first saw a crash back on the 32bit beta when first run there. The second installation however saw the problems with AVG corrected.

If you had installed Avast on Windows 7 bate, maybe get a BSOD that reports a problem with tdx.sys file.
Tdx.sys errors are related to network drivers. This error has been caused by some non-windows compliant Anti-virus programs. I haven't had a problem with Nod32.
You should uninstall Avg virus program. If that doesn't work, you may have to reinstall Windows7.

Avg AntiVirus aren't more companies with Windows 7 x64 bate. ESET has been working with windows 7 32bit & 64bit since the beta release of version 4. ESET works great.

Note:
AVG Identity Protection currently cannot be installed on Windows 7.

can I download the software?

Windows Fax and Scan is not included in the Vista Home Basic and Vista Premium. If you want to fax from your computer, you will need a third-party faxing program that is compatible with Vista.

Make Links Open in Firefox in windows 7

I have Firefox set as my default browser in Windows 7, but in mIRC, if someone pastes a link then I double-click it, it still opens in Internet Explorer.

Add music in FLAC to WMP 12 library in Windows 7

Q:I have some music in FLAC in Windows 7,but i can not add that into WMP 12 library.

A:You need CODECS that allow WMP to recognize the FLAC files since FLAC is not natively supported by WMP.

The lightest and best codec pack is Windows 7 Codecs. Also if you have Windows 7 64bit, there is a 64bit tools pack you need to be able to switch to the 32bit WMP so all files will work. Codec writers have been slow to develop 64bit codecs so we need to use the 32bit player that also comes with 64bit Windows.

If you have Windows 7 64bit, after you install the tools go to Start --> All Programs --> Windows 7 Codecs --> 64bit tools --> default media player, and click the "set 32bit WMP as default" and then the "set 32bit registry item" to make 32bit WMP the default player. There is NO performance difference between the two players but 64bit is NOT supported by many codecs.

I'm not sure what caused all the issues with drive cloning on this system but I just gave up on the whole idea because no matter what I tried it ended up not working or causing issues.

I want to hide my ip address in windows vista. How can i do?

Internet Explorer type issue in vista

MY Dell Inspiron 1525 running Internet Explorer 7.0 on Vista for 1 year.

When I type in my email (Hotmal, Gmail) and other text boxes, it is very slow and misses letters, though the issue is not with the keyboard itself.
Nothing seems to solve it.

1.Is your system fully updated Windows and Anti Virus First?
2.You can try it like:
Open Internet Explorer> Tools > Manage add-ons, disable all add-ons.
3.Does the third-party programs such as ad-blockers, appearance tweakers, etc cause the problem.
4.You can try another browser such as Firefox to see if the problem still exists.

Local area connection lost

Two computers network use Ethernet switch. One computer connected to Internet via Actiontec DSL modem. No problem with WinXP but other computer using Vista x64 OS always loses "Local Area Connection". Easy solve as I since computer diagnoses and states you have no LAN and I reset. But should not have to constantly reset the LAN. Turned off firewall and still happens.

Here is how To fix this problem on Vista:

1) Click start --> Control Panel --> Network and Sharing Center
2) In the left-hand panel, choose Manage Network Connections
3) In the dialog box which appears, choose "Local Area Connections" (or whatever your connection is which handles both local LAN traffic and Internet), right-click then Properties.
4). Click Continue if you get a UAC warning, then uncheck the box beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). Then OK.

It should resume the connection from Standby now.

Delete "Pending Renames" in winsxs/temp

I have a group of six CDF-MS files stuck in C:\Windows\winsxs\Temp\Pending Renames in windows vista. I can not delete "Pending Renames" files.
Should I do it as Administrator, or in Safe Mode, or using an MS-DOS Command Prompt. How do I get rid of them?

These files are for Windows update to do something with them
on reboot, and perhaps something about that has become corrupted, so
they are in limbo. You can't delete them because they are owned by
the "Trusted Installer" account.You can delete them via the "Trusted Installer"
route.

IP spoofing and bind failed

I'm experimenting a little with netcat - I want to test a bit of ip spoofing.

nc -zu -s 192.168.36.xyz localhost 2000

But i get " nc: bind failed: Cannot assign requested address " message. How i can bind to spoof an ip address.

copy packet to another network card in linux

I have two or more computers running linux. One with wireless, and want to give the others wireless access by routing the traffic on the first.

I already wrote a TARGET module for iptables to change IP destination.
For example, if wlan0 is 192.168.0.1, wlan1 is 192.168.1.1, I change every packets' IP destination to 192.168.1.1, but it's not working!!
wlan1 didn't receive anything(checksum is correct). Checking /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is 1.

I split a video stream into 2 path(load sharing), 1st path end at wlan0, 2nd end at wlan1, wlan0 and wlan1 are in the same PC. But I can't combine these 2 stream together, because the video looks not smooth.

So, I try to copy wlan1's packet to wlan0. Could someone give me a hand? Thanks
