Hyper terminal in vista

How to get HyperTerminal in vista

Yesterday someone in my office called on my local extension number and said he need more permission on his extension number so he can make STD and ISD calls also and I said “ok give me 5 minute I will do it” this time was more than enough for me to complete this task because I have done it many times before but one new thing came in scene. I have never done it after upgrading to vista.

My EPBX system needs a connection with computer using com port. There was no issue with hardware but what about software. I use to connect it with hyperteminal in windows xp but in windows Vista there is no hyper terminal kind of thing there. Ok my next step was Google and I came to know that I can use windows XP hyper terminal in windows vista also. I extracted the hypertm.dll and hyperterm.exe files of the hyperterminal from my XP CD and I uploaded them on internet

You can download it from link bellow and you can simply run the hyperterm.exe to use HyperTerminal in vista or in windows 7.

In your first run it will ask for your country and area code etc so please give that and then you will get your familiar hyper terminal option. For second time you need not to do that.

Hope it resolved your problem

Port Restricted for security reason Firefox

Today someone in my office came to me and said that she is getting an error that port restricted for security reason in her Firefox browser for some local host server. She said she already tried everything in its solution but I knew she didn’t.

I went to about:config or Firefox and tried to search something related to this but got nothing then I opened Google and first 2-3 result my problem got resolved. Here is complete solution for this problem in steps.

1) Open your Firefox browser, in url box type about:config and press enter.
2) In next screen you will get a warning message click on “I will be careful, I promise!” button.
3) In next screen search for “network.security.ports.banned.override”.
4) If this string is not there write click anywhere in the firefox text window and click on new and then select string.
4) You will get a box says “ Enter the preference name” in its text box give the name “network.security.ports.banned.override” and press ok.
5) In next screen you have to give the string value. This string value is port number of your port.
6) If you want to allow all port then please give 0-65535. It will allow all the port. If you want to give some specific port then you can give those specific port using comma separated value example 101, 102, 103 etc.
7) Once it’s done you are ready to visit your url and this time you will be able to access the url without any problem.

Hope it’s useful for you and you liked it.

How to remove IE 7 from windows XP SP3

How to remove IE 7 from windows XP SP3

Few days back someone in my officie said to me that they need the IE 6 back in there computer so I should install the IE 6 in their XP computer. I said to them just uninstall IE 7 from your computer and IE 6 will come automatically in windows XP machine. The other person said to me he already tried that but there is no remove button in IE7 in add remove windows program.

It was a new thing for me as I have not seen this issue earlier, so I went to his seat and saw the computer but found nothing unusual in computer. After few second I realized that all the uninstall of IE 7 that I did was before XP SP3 so I checked if SP 3 was installed on the computer and yes XP SP3 was installed.

Ok so now I just removed the XP SP3 and then I restarted the machine than removed IE 7 and this time I was able to remove it.

For removing XP SP3 you just need to go to your add remove program and remove the XP SP3.

Keep remember this will take hell lot of time to remove XP SP3 from computer so I would recommend you to do it in night and leave your computer on so it would not affect your working hour.

One more thing I must recommend to you that do a backup of the entire important file and do create a system restore point before uninstalling SP3. Backup and system restore point creation is not necessary but a good practice to do before any risky task.

Hope it was useful for you.

Explorer has stopped working getting this message again and again in vista

Yesterday my one friend gave me her laptop to repair it. By mistake on her laptop something went wrong and she was not able to use her laptop because she was getting the error explorer has stopped working and its restarting. I checked the issue over Google and found Microsoft says you installed LAME codec but it didn’t have any solution. I tried to find the solution over internet but no useful answer so I decided to use my Ram ban technique and that worked.

To get reed of this problem I just did a system restore of the system prior to the date when it was working fine and it did work after that restore. For doing this restore you need to reboot your computer and need to login in safe mode. It will not work in genral mode. Here is the procedure for doing a system restore.

1) First restart your computer while its rebooting continuously keep pressing F7.
2) After few seconds you will get a black screen in which you will see different option. Choose the safe mode by your arrow key and press enter.
3) It will boot your computer in safe mode, in safe mode also you may have the problem of the explorer has stopped working but you can simply use your computer.
4) Now go to start->all program->accessories->system tools->system restore and click on system restore.
5) It will give you a screen as bellow.

6) Click on next and you will get screen as bellow. If there is not multiple date please select show the restore point older than 5 days and you will get all the restore point.

7) Select the date when your system was working fine and click on next it will start the restoration process of your computer and after few minute it will restart.
8) Once it’s restarted it should work fine.

Please drop a comment if you find any problem in this.

Google voice and video chat plugin offline installation

Posted by AP at 4:41 PM

Just few days back Google launched its Video chat plug-in for browsers by which you can simply do a voice and video chat inside the browser only. See the video

For enabling this video and voice chat feature inside the browser you need to install a plug-in for your browser that you can simply install from Google but its an online installation and files will get removed from your computer as soon as this component is installed on your windows computer.

My present post is for those who like offline installation and they want to “install Google video plug-in offline mode”. I have extracted the plug-in from temp directory and sharing it with you all for your use.

Previously I gave google chrome offline setup in my older post that you can see here now I am here with google video chat plugin offline installation setup.

You can download “Google video chat plug-in offline” from here or here http://rapidshare.com/files/164601600/google_talk_plugin.zip size of this plug-in is just 1.5MB

You just need to download and install it and nothing else then the browser restart. Once you installed it, it will ask you for restarting of your browser, after restarting your browser you will be able to do voice and video chat in your browser only.

Adbrite website not displaying correctly in vista

Adbrite website not displaying correctly in vista

Today I tried to make an account in adbrite.com but it was not displaying correctly in my browser so I searched for its reason and here is the solution for this.

When I tried to open adbrite.com I found it’s not correctly displaying in my IE7 then I tried to open it in Firefox, chrome, opera and safari but result was same. It was not getting displayed properly I had the same issue with few more website also. I did a cross check with my friend if it’s working on his computer and he said yes its working fine.

After this I tried to Google it and I found it was due to kaspersky antivirus setting. The person who said its kaspersky fault he said if you want to use adbrite or similar website keep your kaspersky off. I was not happy with this answer because I never want to turn off my antivirus so I decided to do a tweak for kaspersky settings and after few minute I got the solution.

For displaying adbrite correctly in vista machine browsers you need to do following setting to make it working.

1) Go to kaspersky settings

2) Now go to content filtering and deselect “enable banner ad blocker”.

That’s enough now, It will allow adbrite.com to open properly in your browser.

How to Work DNS- DNS Process

Posted by Raveesh at 10:17 AM

Basically its work on IP to Name and Name to IP . For any example like Yahoo.com
First- Client will request to his own dns server
DNS server may have ip of yahoo.com if yes. it will resolve ip and send back to client if database is not there then it will ask to its upper DNS server, if that server will have data it will responce with ip otherwise it will refer to another server root dns server is after that there so many upper layer dns like
.com
.org
.edu
.cz
.uk
after then suppose under .com there will be so many domain
like yahoo
google
orkut
msn
and so on and after than connect successfully.

3) It will open a screen as bellow in this select add or remove features or you can use alt+a to select this and then click on continue.

4) In next screen you will get bellow screen. Here find the office tools and when you will expans office tools you will get Microsoft Office document Imaging.

5) Expand this Microsoft Office document Imaging and you will get scanning, OCR and Indexing service filter. Right click on this and select run from my computer.

6) It will install the required component in few second.

Once it’s all installed you need not to do anything just double click on your MDI file and its done.

If you find any problem feel free to come back with comments.

Not able to receive mail from a particular domain

Not able to receive mail from a particular domain

Add domain to White sender list domain

My boss told me there is a strange problem that we are not receiving mails from rediffmail on our corporate email Id. It gets bounce back to sender with a error message of spam mail at the same time same content mail from other mail provider like Gmail, yahoo mail or other mail provider was successfully receiving.

I checked the same for my mailbox and as usual I got the same “554 Sorry,this message appears to be spam (#5.6.0) (in reply to end of DATA command)” so I removed anti spam on my mailbox and then I tried to send a mail to my mailbox, Result was successful delivery of the mail. But neither I could nor I want do it for my all account else spam mail will kill my network.

So what was the other option?

I never faced this problem earlier so I called to my hosting provider and then they suggested me to add redifmail in white sender list domain in group spam setting. I did that and result was positive it worked.

Simple answer for this solution is that add the complete domain in safe sender domain or white sender domain list in your antispam group setting from your dashboard.

For jodoshared/jodohost you need to go to mail manager and edit group spam setting. Add domain in white sender list and click on save setting.

It might take some time to do this if you have long list of mail accounts.

If you are not sure how to do that simple call your hosting vendor support centre and ask them how to do it and I am sure you will get the solution.

If you need help from my side just comment any time and I will try to help you as soon as possible.

Mails older than 7 days are not appearing in MS outlook Inbox

Mails older than 7 days disappearing in MS outlook Inbox

One of my office mates got a problem in his Ms outlook that mails older than 7 days were not
appearing in his MS outlook. It was neither in deleted folder nor in archive. I checked if there is any setting that could delete the mails but I found nothing.

After some time my assistant told me it’s a simple function and setting of MS outlook and we can simply change it by a single click. For re-display those mails he went to menu->view->current view and selected messages. Earlier it was selected as only last seven days.

I understand it’s not a big deal to know this thing but I believe it’s something that many people do not know as they do not play with settings and disappearing of emails from your live MS outlook create a panic so If I can save single minute also for any one by this I would think that writing this post was useful.

Hope it will be useful
