Finally decided to create a Windows 7 Startup USB to install Windows 7 on my laptop with faulty DVD-drive. Searched through the net for USB startup creator, and found out that theres a free tool from Windows available at Microsoft Store . Requirements : Windows 7 ISO (more than) 4GB removable USB flash drive* *Note: If your USB is advertised capacity 4GB, then you might want to consider getting a 8GB USB drive.

Please select a valid ISO file and try again".  A quick Google search shows that there are solution to this at http://www.withinwindows.com/2009/11/01/use-the-windows-7-usbdvd-download-tool-with-custom-isos/ You can download the quick hack/fix for your from the site .

[Virtuemart] Customize Order List - adding extra column

In this post, I am going explain on how to add an extra column in Virtuemart Administrator Order List page. (Note that, in this example, I'm going to add a new address_1 column).

In /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/order.order_list.php locate this section, around line 27. Then add " address_1 " into the line, as below. //$list .= "first_name, last_name FROM #__{vm}_orders, #__{vm}_order_user_info WHERE "; // This is the modified line. $list .= "first_name, last_name, address_1 FROM #__{vm}_orders, #__{vm}_order_user_info WHERE "; After that, locate this section, as usual and note that " Address_1 " is already the added column. $columns = Array( "#" => "width=\"20\"", "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"tog...

(System.InvalidOperationException) A System.InvalidOperationException was thrown: "Token StartElement in state Epilog would result in an invalid XML Document." First check on the structure of your XML documents seems there aren't any syntax error. But if you notice the circled error in the above picture, you will realize that the problem is simply because "root" element was not included. So make sure you always have a root element. Attached below are sample code for creating a XML document. namespace ConsoleApplication1 {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter(D:\\myXmFile.xml, null);      ...

mscorsvw.exe hogging 100% CPU

-
Helped a friend diagnose his slow computer, and found out that there was a process called mscorsvw.exe sucking up almost all the CPU. So did a Google search and found the following information about the process. When mscorsvw.exe takes up resources, it is precompiling .NET assemblies in the background. Once it's done, it will go away. Typically, after you install the .NET Redist, it will be done with the high priority assemblies in 5 to 10 minutes and then will wait until your computer is idle to process the low priority assemblies. Once it does that it will shutdown and you won't see mscorsvw.exe. One important thing is that while you may see 100% CPU usage, the compilation happens in a process with low priority, so it tries not to steal the CPU for other stuff you are doing. Once everything is compiled, assemblies will now be able to share pages across different processes and warm start up will be typically much faster, so we're not throwing away your cycles. There are...

PHP Extension “mcrypt” must be loaded

-
Image
Got this error while installing Magento PHP extension "mcrypt" must be loaded. After a Google search, found few solutions to the problem. One of the solution involve copying these two files: libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll to your Windows/System32. This is not advisable . The proper way to install new extension would be: 1. Go to Control Panel 2. Click on Add/Remove Program (Or, Uninstall a program) 3. Select PHP MSI and click on 'Change'. Remember you should have installed PHP using the PHP MSI. If you have installed it using the ZIP file this won't work. 4. You will see the following window. 5. Click on Next ,then click 'Change' 6. Select 'IIS FastCGI' 7. Chose the extension (mcrypt, in this case) you want to install and click 'Next'. 7. Click on 'Finish' on next screen and you are done. DONE!

Joomla - Default login/logout page

-
Image
If you accidentally removed the component in your page. You can manually access the page via http://<your-site.com>/index.php?option=com_user&view=login As for the Logout link, http://<your-site.com>/index.php?option=com_user&task=logout I find that this is particularly useful when maintaining the site for client who does not want user registration functionality. Customising Login links to User-friendly link For those who are new to Joomla here are the steps to create a user-friendly link (or alias) for the login page. For example, user will be able to login via, http://<your-webpage>/login . Its pretty straight-forward, so I've screenshot the steps below. Customising the layout of the login page If you are looking for the layout of the login form, you can FTP to /components/com_user/views/login/tmpl/ folder to edit the files.

Activity Displays a user interface component and respond to system/user initiated. An Application may contain one or more Activities.

Android: R.drawable.androidmarker not found

Found this while following through the Android Hello-MapView guide at developer.android.com .

For example, mapOve...
