HP laptop built-in webcam not working
It has become a common problem for HP pavilion laptops users to face major problems with their built in webcams. This could have been either due to a configuration problem or a problem with your driver.
For Windows Vista users
If you are using a Windows Vista operating system, this is what you can do:
1. Ensure that you are connected to the Internet and that you know the model number of your laptop.
2. connect to the HP website through the link http://h20180.www2.hp.com/...
3. After selecting your laptop model, click “Software & Drivers Downloads”
4. Hence, choose your operating system (in this case it’s Vista).
5. Choose the software update file that you need and follow the instructions.

Organising Windows Taskbar
Most people tend to have a lot of shortcuts on their Windows taskbar. This is partly due to many applications that add shortcuts to taskbar by default during their installation process. The result is the list of shortcuts keeps growing and the space for running task buttons keeps shrinking. Sure, you can group similar tasks into one button. But collapsible taskbar button makes switch to an application one more point-and-click way. We prefer to have an quick overview of all the running applications in one glance.
We prefer to organize my taskbar this way:
*Resize that taskbar so that it can accomodate 2 rows.
*Move shortcuts to the top row so that they have ample space to grow.
*Move running application buttons to bottom row. This way, you can run up to 10 applications and still able to spot their names comfortably on the buttons.
How do You Organise Your Desktop?
I notice many of my colleagues and friends tend to have lots of icons on their Windows desktop. I, for one, hate to have cluttered desktop as it takes too long to locate an icon/document on the desktop.
I generally 2 types of icons on the desktop: shortcuts to application or folder, and documents. I use a simple strategy to organise my desktop:
Only put the most frequently used shortcuts on the desktop.
Make full use of the 4 corners of the desktop.
Top left corner is used for shortcuts of applications
Top right corner is used for shortcuts of most frequently used folders. As I put most of my working documents in "My Documents", it is there at the top right corner. For documents that I cannot work on now, but need to revisit sometime in future, I put them in "Actions Required" folder which has its shortcut on the desktop too. Along with these folders are the C drive (HDD) and D drive (CD/DVD drive).
Bottom left corner is the temporary place holder for documents that I plan to read or work on. These documents are likely to thrashed after I gone through them before the end of the week.
Bottom right corner is the thrash bin. Its location on the right makes it easy for me to drag unwanted files to it.

What to do if a file cannot be deleted?
It often happens that while trying to delete a file or a folder, your system tells you that this particular file cannot be deleted at that time. These errors occur currently with video or music file formats. This can be due to a number of factors, such as:
Someone else is accessing the file/folder on the network or on a shared computer
You are trying to delete a system file that is being used by another program
You are trying to delete an infected folder or your system has been infected and prevents you from deleting this file
You have access restrictions on this particular file/folder
The file/folder has been saved in “Read only” format
Your system is not compatible with this kind of file and is hence displaying error messages.
Here are 5 solutions for that.....
Solution 1: Ensure that the file/folder is not in use
If you are using a shared computer, another user or program on the user’s account might be using the file/folder that you are trying to delete.
1. Ask the other user/s to close all the programs that they might be using
2. Make sure that they have log off from their account.
3. Restart your computer, log in to your account and try to delete the file/folder again.
Solution 2: Run your system on Safe Mode
If your system or the file has been infected by a virus, using the Safe Mode can allow you to delete it as most viruses get active while running the normal mode. Hence
1. Restart your system and when the first screen is displayed, press the F8 key on your keyboard.
2. Various booting options for your system should now be listed on the screen. Using your keyboard arrows, choose “Safe Mode”.
3. When the loading is done, choose the file/folder that has to be deleted, right-click on it and choose the “Delete” option.
4. Don’t forget to empty the Recycle Bin by right-clicking on the icon and choosing the option “Empty Recycle Bin”.
Solution 3: Download or update your Antivirus program
If your computer system has been infected, you should first download an antivirus if you do not already have one. If you do, think about upgrading the current version of the software and run the scanning process again. You can get a very good antivirus from the list below:

How to speed up a slow PC?
If your PC is taking ages to boot up and is very slow while running programs, it might be due to a number of factors.
Problem 1: Not enough RAM
RAM stands for Random Access Memory and is used as a temporary storage memory by your computer. This memory is in use when tasks are being executed by different programs. Hence, you should have enough RAM memory to process all the tasks at hand; if you don’t this might cause the major slow down of your computer while it is booting up or processing tasks.
How to know if your computer has enough RAM? The programs that are installed on your computer usually have RAM requirements that are asked. If your computer has been running at a normal speed before the installation of such programs and has crucially slowed down with time, you might need to add more RAM on your computer system.
Also, if your computer is slowing down every time you are processing large files, or it freezes while executing several programs at once, these might be some common signs that you need to add extra RAM.
more problems........
Problem 2: Temporary files have built up on your hard disk
Some tasks might require you to leave the system working for several days and this might cause temporary files to build up on your hard disk. This might be a reason why your computer is slowing down and is taking some time to boot up as these type of files tend to be memory consuming.
How to delete Temporary Files?
1. Open “My Computer” and select your local drive (it is usually labeled as :\C)
2. Select the “Windows” folder and locate the folder labeled “Temp”
3. Use your mouse to right-click on the folder (not the contents) and in the “View” options, choose “Details”
4. Select all the files that are older than the current date and press the delete key.
5. When done, go to the Recycle Bin on your desktop and choose “Empty Recycle Bin”
You can also choose to delete the Temporary Internet Files that have accumulated on your system
1. Go to your “Start” button and open “Control Panel”
2. Select “Internet Options” and in the section labeled “Temporary Internet Files” press “Delete Cookies” and “Delete Files” options.
3. You can also delete your history by clicking the option “Clear History”
4. When done, press “Apply” and “OK”
When you finish removing the Temporary Files, reboot your computer.
Problem 3: Your computer has been infected
If your computer has been infected by a virus, a malware, a worm or a Trojan, it might have cause the slow down of your computer system and even freeze several tasks at hand. Hence, you should run a virus scan and remove all the infected files found on your system.
Problem 4: Not enough space on the hard disk
Adding very bulky programs will automatically slow down your computer system. Hence, I will suggest users with a hard disk capacity of 2GB to leave at least 250MB free and those who have a higher hard disk storage capacity to leave at least 20% of the total capacity free. This will hence allow your computer to have enough room both for temporary files and file swapping.
Defragmenting your hard disk

How to work with partitions in Windows Vista / XP when Disk Management doesn’t work?
Windows Vista’s Disk Management tool can be quite deceiving. It allows you to work with partitions at ease in a presentable GUI format - but with problems. There have been a lot of complaints and confusion as to why Windows Vista grays out the extend volume and shrink volume properties. In response to this, I have found an alternative way to work with partitions, allowing you to easily resize, delete, and create partitions.
Diskpart.exe does a very good job at working with partitions. Unlike Disk Management, Diskpart actually works!
Before continuing, make sure that you:
* Backed up all important files
* Do not run diskpart.exe with Dynamic Disks
1) First, you’ll want to pull out your Start Menu and type diskpart.exe (Windows XP users might have to download diskpart.exe )This will open a command-prompt like window. At this window, type list disk. This will list all your available hard disks.
2) Proceed by typing select disk to select the disk you want to work with.
Creating a Partition or Volume: (skip) At this point in time, you can create a partition.
Type create and a set of new options will be presented to you. To proceed, just type create . (e.g. create volume) What kind of partition should I create?
Primary: Primary partitions are limited to four per hard disk. If you are planning to install an operating system into a partition, you’ll want to choose primary since it is the only one that can be made bootable.
Extended: If you are planning to have more than four partitions, you’ll want to work with extended. An extended partition counts towards the limit of four, but you are then allowed to create logical volumes within these extended partitions. You’ll want to use extended partitions for backup or storage purposes only since they are not bootable.
3) Now we want to see which number is associated with the volume we want to work with. To obtain this list, type list volume
4) Select the desired volume by typing: select volume or select partition You then have a list of options to choose from. Below is a list of commands you can type in depending on what you want to do with your selected volume. If you don’t input a number for size, the program will automatically use all the space available for your operation. For the purpose of this tutorial, I have decided to work with 10GB. (1000MB = 1GB) ·
Shrink desired=10000 minimum=2000 (Shrinks the volume by 10GB. If that’s not possible, this command makes sure that you at least shrink the volume by 2GB.) ·
Extend size=10000
·
Delete Partition ·
Format
Disk Management can be quite a nuisance since it decides to gray out certain properties on any given day. Please spread the word about diskpart.exe if you know someone who has had trouble working with partitions; as I am sure there are lots who are having similar problems.
How To Fix NSIS Error?
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System or NSIS is an open source tool that is used to develop Windows installers. The NSIS tool is small and flexible, which makes it quite popular for distribution over the Internet.
A user may receive one of the following error messages when trying to install a program that uses an installer that is built using NSIS:
Error Message: Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy.
Error Message: The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus. You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy. It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED).
Note: The second error message is displayed when the NSIS version prior to 2.35 has been used to build the program uninstaller.
Cause of the Errors:
The NSIS errors listed above may occur under one of the following conditions:
Software files downloaded from the Internet are not complete.
Downloaded software files have been modified from the original version.
Your PC is infected with a virus.
Physical media being used to install the program is damaged.
Required hardware (For example, CD/DVD drive) is malfunctioning.
Resolution Methods:
Depending on the scenario, you may use one of the following methods to repair the error:
Scenario 1: You have downloaded the software installer from the Internet.
You may do the following tasks:
Note: Try to install your software after each task.
Delete the cache of your Web browser. To do this, in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 window, open Tools menu and then select Delete Browsing History….Next, click the Delete All button and also select the check box in the confirmation box that is displayed. Finally, click Yes to completely clear the browser cache.
If the name of the downloaded installer files comprises multiple words, rename it to have only one word, say, SoftwareNameInstaller.exe.
If available, download the software installer file from another approved source.
Update your antivirus program.
Disable your antivirus program and any download accelerator tool on your computer, before performing the download.
In case you have nVidia firewall installed on your computer, uninstall it and then try to download your software installer again. To completely remove the firewall, you may use a good third-party program uninstaller, such as Perfect Uninstaller. Also, you may follow up the removal process with a registry cleanup using a reliable tool, such as RegGenie. .
Use hard disk tools, such as Error Checker, chkdsk, or scan disk to scan and repair any problems with your hard disk.
Thoroughly scan your PC for possible virus or spyware infections.
Scenario 2: You are trying to install from a CD/DVD or some other physical storage media
If the NSIS error occurs when you are trying to install from a physical media, it is quite possible that there is some problem with the physical media, or the hardware that is being used to read data from this media. For example, if you are installing using a CD, check it for any scratches or other damage. If you find that the disk is damaged, you may need to get a replacement disk to perform the installation.
To check if your CD drive is working fine, you may try to access this CD on another CD drive. If the disk works fine on another drive, you may have to get your CD drive checked for problems.
Workaround Solution
Although it is not recommended, you may try to run the installer even if it is corrupt by bypassing the NSIS corruption test. To do this, perform the following steps:
Open Command Prompt window.
Drag your installer file into this window.
Press the space key once and type /NCRC and then press Enter.
If none of the above solution work, you may need to contact your software’s manufacturer for a possible solution.
Show Hidden Folder
The steps are :-
• Open registry( select run command from start menu and type regedit and then press enter)
• In the left pane goto path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware\Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer \Advanced \Folder \Hidden \SHOWALL
• Delete the value CheckedValue in the Right pane by right clicking it and selecting delete. (Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2.)
• Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue by right clicking in the Right pane and then selecting new -> DWORD Value and then changing the name to CheckedValue. (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD). Modify the value data to 1 (0×00000001) by right clicking the CheckedValue in the Right pane and selecting modify and changing the value data to 1.
This should let you change the “Hidden Files and Folders” option.
Why this happens? The fact that the hidden files were not showing up was due to virus which would have changed the value in the registry and the virus may be still present. Even when the virus was removed the old value may not have been restored in the registry.

type AT (time) /interactive “cmd.exe”
enter time in 24hr format
means if you want to enter 5.00pm then enter 17:00
then a new window of cmd will open at specified time.
In new window type net(space)user
press enter
after this u will see some names on ur screen
notedown the name of admin acc
then type
net user (name of admin acc u want to crack into) (space) *
e.g if the name of admin acc is john then type
net user john *
then it will ask u for new password
enter password of ur choice
and u got the admin password
The above scheduling is optional you can crack ur administrative account without doing that.U can perform the following directly from the same window.U should be logged in any account to perform this.
for eg:If ur system is a single user system then one inbuilt secret account will be there.How to login into that??Its so simple my dear friends........ U just click CTRL+ALT+DEL for two times that's it.you will get a login prompt and you enter administrator under username and click login.Moreover if you set a password while installin the OS it asks for a password.So always maintain a spare limited account without a password on safe side as everything is uncertain........

Fix ‘Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage’ Error
The following error message may be displayed when you try to access a Web site, using Internet Explorer 7:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
There can be many causes of this problem. This article covers some basic troubleshooting methods that you can follow to resolve this issue.
Method 1: Check to see if you can open other Web pages
A likely cause of the error message is problems with the Web page you are trying to access. To see if this is the problem, try to open some other Web pages in your Internet Explorer. If everything else is fine, these Web pages will open normally, and if they do, there might be some problem with the Web page you were initially trying to access. The site could be experiencing problems or may have been taken down for some reason.
You may just wait for a while and try to access the Web page again. If the site was taken down for maintenance activity, it should start working once the maintenance activity is complete.
Method 2: Check for Internet Explorer errors using the Network Diagnostics tool
You may use the built-in Network Diagnostics tool to diagnose and resolve any problems with your Internet Explorer 7. To use the tool, perform the following steps:
Open Internet Explorer and then try to access the Web page that is displaying the error.
1. To run the Network Diagnostics tool on this error page in Internet Explorer, click the Diagnose Connection Problems link.
2. If the tool finds any problem with your Internet Explorer, it will try to provide you with the methods that you can use to resolve the error. Follow the steps given in the proposed solution to resolve your problem.
If the tool fails to detect any problems, proceed to the next troubleshooting step.
Method 3: Reset your modem, router or both
If you connect to the Internet using a modem or a router, you may need to restart it to resolve the ‘Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage’ error. To do this, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the cable that connects your modem or router to the computer.
2. Turn off the modem or router-some devices may not have a power on/off switch, in this case, disconnect the devices from the AC power point.
3. Restart your PC and then turn on your modem or router.
4. Reconnect the modem/router cables and then restart the PC again.
5. After the above steps are done, restart your Internet Explorer and try to access your Web page again.
If the error is still there, proceed to the next step.
Method 4: Clear the Browsing History of your Internet Explorer
To clear the browsing history, perform the following steps:
1. Open Internet Explorer and then on the Tools menu, select the Delete Browsing History command.
2. Here, either click the individual buttons to clear specific browsing history or just hit the Delete allbutton given at the bottom to clean everything in one go.
3. Restart your Internet Explorer and then try to open your Web page again.
If the error is still there, proceed to the next step.
Method 5: Try to open the Web page in the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) mode
At times, you may encounter the error message if an Internet Explorer Add-on is interfering with the process. When you start Internet Explorer in no Add-on mode, it loads without any add-ons, such as third-party toolbars and ActiveX controls. If your Web page displays in this mode, then it is likely that an Internet Explorer Add-on is interfering with your Web page and preventing the page from displaying in normal mode.
To start your Internet Explorer in no Add-ons mode, select Start >> All Programs >>Accessories >>System Tools >> Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
If you are able to access your Web page in this mode, then perform the following steps to identify the Internet Explorer Add-on that is behind the problem:
1. Open Internet Explorer and then on the Tools menu, point to the Manage add-ons command and select the Enable or Disable Add-ons command.
2. Now, in the Manage Add-ons dialog box, first disable all add-ons and then enable them one by one.
3. After enabling each add on, try to open your Web page. If your Web page fails to open after you enable a particular add-on, then this add-on is the cause behind your problem.
4. After you have identified the problem add-on you may either leave it disabled or search for a solution regarding problems associated with the add-on.
