PS3 HDMI to DVI - connecting to Monitor


It's been quite long since I have first tried to hook up my PS3 to my 22 inch DGM l-2362wd Monitor. Most of the youtube videos and online guides will show you that if you purchase HDMI->DVI converter (about 20£) it's just a matter of plugging the leads. My experience was completely opposite! The truth is that PS3 HDMI->DVI requires HDCP monitor/tv if you are using the HDMI port for it to display. My monitor turns up to be the one odd without HDCP so I can forget about connecting PS3. The advantage is that it will help me focus on my studies and project. The good news is that currently each monitor comes with HDMI connection and you can get 22-24inch for less then a 150£!

0x00000024 error code - blue screen

If you see this code that means we are having the same problem.
That means that there is a problem with NTFS file system on your HDD.
No safe mode boot possible, keep blue screening.
I have tried to use the OS CD however it doesn’t detect the hard drive, Windows 7 CD would allow you to get into command prompt but there the story ends. I have taken the hard drive out and use the Magic Bridge II ( allows you to connect corrupted hard drive to another machine via USB) – HDD detected .. but even after formatting the volume and put it back to original machine is not being detected...All the hours spent on running diagnostic tools and searching for the right answer with no luck... My solution: If you haven’t got big budget issues – get a new HDD.

AutoIT Novell iPrint automation complete

iPrint information from wikipedia.
iPrint, a technology originally developed by Novell, allows users to install printer-drivers from a web browser and to submit print jobs over the Internet or a local network through the standard Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).

Although the system uses Novell infrastructure, desktop users require only an iPrint client.

iPrint servers utilise the combination of:
an IPP server, Print Manager ,Printer Agent ,iPrint Gateway ,driver store

Until now we have been using autoIT gui interface to install the client and printers in a very simple and efficient way:



Rescripted by me to allow installing multiple printers with only few mouse clicks (using checkboxes), new support for Windows Vista/7 32/64bit. Few printers added.



Conclusions:
It's sometimes much harder to modify existing code rather then creating things from scrach.

AutoIT scripting - GUI X-mas Application Window design


My first steps into AutoIt scripting ended with quite good looking Quick Launch Application Window. It doesn't take much time to come up with some simple scripts to automate your everyday tasks from setting up the correct screen resolution at the startup to more powerfull network related tasks. Latest windows 7 os with PowerShell 2 built-in may be perfect to link with your autoit backend.

HP6735b Quick Launch

I have spent few hours trying to disable this quick launch bar (touch bar) ... I have disabled it in registry,hardware devices and start-up config and it still works fine!!
The only solution that I have found was to order a part from HP which will replace this bar with another - that wouldn't let students to switch the wireless icon off by just touching it!!
