Fix Windows Vista black desktop on Startup
Hi
This problem causes windows to startup to a black screen, with only the “Documents” folder open, once you close it, the screen is all black, no start menu , no background, no icons.
The causes of this are not very clear to be but i suggest that it is related to some form of new virus or malware.
To correct this do the following:
- On the black desctop screen, hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc
-The tast Manager will appear, from the file menu, select run and write “explorer” without the quotations.
-Your computer will load the start menu and will work correctly.
Until now, we still haven’t fixed the problem, the next time you boot your computer , you will have to repeate the same procedure.
No more Clicksor!
Hi
You may have noticed that during the last month I was trying to include some Clicksor in this blog, I got the idea to try them when I found out at the Google Adsense webinar that it is ok to include some ads from other providers as long as they do not confuse the user to be Google ads.
Anyway, Today I’m removing all clicksor ads from this website for the following reasons.
1. Very low income. I tried some of the most successful clicksor ad forms, Interstitial Ads ads, in-text ads, and pop-under ads. For every dollar I made on ad sense, I made around 5-10 cents in clicksor.
2. contextual ads are too stupid, I have never seen it coming up with something smart, OK it will highlight the word “Play Game”, but when you “mouseover” it a small pop up will come with the dumb suggestion “Learn all about Play Game!!”
3.Interstitial Ads do not work most of the time, I use opera, and I often browse my own blog, but only once I have seen the Interstitial Ad in action, it took over the entire screen, and ,,, and,, and thats it, the screen remained white until i clicked a small button on top of the page to close it.
4.Floating ads suck, they do! , first, only 2 ads seemed to appear to me, one about Ad Onion, an ad service, and the other about some stupid mail filter, don’t expect much change in the ad, according to the page contents.
So for now, I’ll stick with Ad sense from Google until further notice.
Have you tried Clicksor? did you like it?
Windows 7 godmodes and hidden settings.
Hi.
Today We’ll be discussing the hidden settings (and shortcuts) in windows 7.
Windows 7 has some developer oriented settings and control panels, for example shortcuts to directly access GPS setting (yes there are GPS settings), biometry settings, or just printer settings.
To unlock these modes all you need to do is to create a folder with any name (angrybyte of instance) then a single dot “.” and then a special code for the required panel
an example would be to create a folder named:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
opening this folder will open the master control panel ( or the godmode as the guy that originally discovered it calls it).
There are also some other modes and hidden settings, I have came up with a method to create them all in one go. You can read more about it in the post : Unlocking all hidden settings & godemodes in windows 7 in the forums
have fun, and remember, it will break down eventually.
