Again Toshiba driver.

Since the sound driver I suggested in my previous post does not work, so lastly I need to upload the driver of my laptop.

But the driver I uploaded does not content setup file. Therefore, one needs to right-click “oem1.inf” and select “install”.

I exported the driver using DriverMax (freeware). I didn’t upload the original setup folder, because it is about 83 mb. So, after exported and compressed the file, it is about 9 mb.

Because the use of Java is increasing, in websites or software, that is why I install Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Why need JRE? Because the software developed by using Java language will need the JRE, so that the software is WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere).

Then, Microsoft also produces similar product. That is .NET Framework. .NET Framework becomes popular because of C# language.

However, what I want to say is, I just found that .NET Compact Framework is different from .NET Framework. Now, .NET Framework 3.5 is released. However, the full installation file is about 100mb. It is quite wasting time to download it. And I just found .NET Compact Framework 3.5, which is much smaller than .NET Framework. So, I thought it is a “compact version” of .NET Framework. And search the Wikipedia about .NET Compact Framework, and found that both are different things. :)

Sorry for some visitors looking for the other drivers, because I did not notice that some visitors asked about the other drivers.

For the audio driver, I installed from my Toshiba laptop. So I don’t know where can find the correct driver. So, I found that Softpedia provides similar driver version. You can try the driver.

For the information, the audio driver I installed is:
Realtek High Definition Audio
Date: 3-1-2007
Version: 5.10.0.5377
(Info showed by using DriverMax)

After a while dealing with Linux. I have learnt many things.

There are too many distributions of Linux. It is hard to choose. I have tried LiveCD. It is nice to use LiveCD. Because, if you got the pendrive or external harddisk and the computer BIOS is able to detect USB, then you are able to boot in the pendrive or external harddisk LiveCD through BIOS. However, the pre-requisite of the pendrive or external harddisk is that, the file system need to be FAT. This is because a program syslinux is only able to modify the boot sector in FAT, ext2/3, but not NTFS.

This is an XP annoyance. I don’t know how does it comes out. The problem is, when I righ-click the task bar, and choose “Toolbars”, there shows “Language Bar” and “The language bar”.

I also not sure how to solve this problem. But what I have done already solved the problem. That is, I disable “The language bar”, which also disable the real “Language Bar”. Then I enable “Language Bar” again, and this time no more “The language bar”. And I restart XP. And fixed it.

I will remind myself, “do not try to update BIOS by myself anymore”. This is a very bad experience. Because update not success, then hard disk not detected. What can I do? Data corrupted? Don’t know.

But fortunately, everything recovered. I don’t know why. Just insert the BIOS update CD again, then everything failed again with new error, and restart and detect the hard disk. What can I say? Stupid vendor or stupid me?

I don’t like Windows Vista, now. I don’t mean that I will remain dislike Vista in future. Why? I only tried a while. I feel that its greatest change is the interface change. And found that, it cannot run several applications which I can run in Windows XP.

So, I go to search about comparison of Vista and XP. Click here to see.

But it does not relate to this article much.

I never know that IRC is such powerful thing. I thought that, IRC is only for chatting, just like a chatroom. But I was wrong. Because, I just found that, if you found a correct IRC channel and server that you want, then you can chat and download shared files using CTCP (Client-to-client protocol). And even provide some information such as certain website, certain FTP with username and password, and else, which you cannot find through internet search engine (note: you cannot find them from search engine!!!).

Today, I got a great problem! First, svchost.exe crashed with the message “The exception unknown aoftware exception (0x0000409) occured in the application at location 0x5b86a3c0”. And this happened when I connected the internet. After the message, I found that my computer was slow down. Then I opened the task manager to see what happened. Then, I found that “lsass.exe” has high CPU usage. This was the problem.

So, I afraid that it was virus. Then I scanned for spyware and virus. But found nothing. So I searched for the solution from internet…

Just read the news, there is new MSN Messenger trojan that is spreading now. Be aware of it.

The Trojan is an IRC bot that’s spreading through MSN Messenger by sending itself in a .zip file with two names. One of the names includes the word “pics” as a double extension executable—a name generally used by scanners and digital cameras: for example, DSC00432.jpg.exe. The Trojan is also contained in a .zip file with the name “images” as a .pif executable—for example, IMG34814.pif.
