One of the reason we upgraded to the new blackberries is that flash support they were talking about in their specs.

Media Player

• Video format support: XviD partially supported, H.263, H.264, WMV3, MPEG4, Sorenson Spark & On2 VP6 (Flash support)
• Audio format support: .3gp, MP3, WMA9 (.wma/.asf), WMA9 Pro / WMA 10, MIDI, AMR-NB, Professional AAC/AAC+/eAAC+

but after reading a couple of articles out from the web it looks like they haven’t come up with the software to play those damn flash videos!!!  sucks!

Faced with a stuck dvd drive button I need to find out how to remove the whole dvd drive unit from the HP Pavillion dc6500 laptop.

I  scoured the net and found this wonderful and helpful website filled with laptop tips!

the instructions stated to remove the single screw holding the dvd drive and all you have to do is pull it out gently.

So after I removed the dvd drive pushed the plastic tabs (CAREFULLY!) that holds the front cover of the dvd drive and it released the stucked button.

Then just put everything back together and you are done!

The last time I ran the Windows 7 advisor it choked on my 700+ megs memory with a couple of outdated drivers.  So main concern was the memory requirement. Ran to Fry’s Elec. and scored me a 2 gig ddr 400mhz Dual kit for $70+ (don’t you just love instant gratification at a premium?)

Now running the custom installation – clean installation to be exact.

It was supposed to prompt me for a x32 and x64 installation but just saw a x86 installation. well I guess that would be it since my old computer is still on a Duron 1.2 processor!

It’s currently on the second stage right now..lot more step to go..hope it won’t be too painful…

If you just experience the feeling that your computer has been possessed and you have Norton 360 installed in your computer-don’t worry! (I hope!)

I was trying to be calm when the cd tray keep on opening and closing on me as soon as I turn on my computer.  First thought that always comes to my mind is that my computer has a virus/malware/trojan horse and all the other freaking bastard made program that makes all our lives miserable but anti-virus company richer. (conspiracy theory?)

Anyways, do some reality check first;

- did Norton 360 previous told you that you don’t have enough storage on your online backup?

-did you take the initiative to play smart and change the setting to backup into cd/dvd?

-did you finish backing up on cd/dvd and felt empowered and went on with your merry life?

now, if all those statements are true, except the merry life part, and after a few hours or days your cd/dvd drive starting opening and closing then do this;

- deselect all item that needs to be backed-up and just select the smallest one (Internet Favorites)
- change the backup to manual
- save settings
- restart machine

if the cd tray still keeps on opening and closing put a blank cd disc in and close the drive (or play grasshopper-pebble game with the cd tray) and wait until it writes something.

If all goes well the ghost in your machine will disappear!  If not – get someone else to help you with the exorcist

I just installed this firefox extention called New Tab King

I gives you a lot of goodies that you can customize instead of getting that blank plain screen when you open up a new tab.

It’s 10:50am and currently installing my 2nd 640gb Serial ATA HD on my Quad Core Asus m3n78-vm motherboard.

I bought this 2nd hard drive months ago and just placed it inside the case because the 1st time i tried formatting it windows xp cannot see it. by conventional means-that is.

So today I plugged in that drive again and tried to look for it in My Computer and still cannot find it. So I tried to right-click on my computer and picked managed and went to the Disk Management under Storage and saw my 2nd sata hard drive! Ohh what excitement! Finally getting somewhere now.

Saw the 2nd sata drive being labeled as disk 1. ok. went back and realized that the 1st 500 gb sata drive i had there is labeled as disk 0 so we are ok.

Right clicked on the 2nd drive I’m installing and selected a full partition and now it’s 10% formatting. What joy for a shallow person. LOL!

Awesome! I finally got the blackberry bold today! Thanks sa mababait kong amo at pinag-bigyan ako sa aking kahilingan. Haay..ganda talaga!

From the previous post I was raving how I updated my bb 8310 and so proud of it but now I have a new toy and I’ll tell you more about this new stuff when I get around it.

While browsing around the blackberry forums I came across a topic about the BB OS 4.5
I quickly check my phones OS and confirmed that I still have the 4.2. 

Wow! Now I feel so obsolete.

I went to the list of features and it listed better html emails and the best feature is that video capture capability. Yes! I can finally take videos with my bb 8310!  I can push back the time table of getting the blackberry bold. (no fee in dreaming..o walang bayad ang mangarap..tama ba ingles translation ko?)

So, I went through the whole process of upgrading my device OS and after about an hour or so I have a working BB 8310 with a new breath of life! oh yea! oh yea! (doing the cabbage patch dance)

Caveat lector, the upgrade process is not for the faint hearted.  Need to do a lot of prep work before initiating the upgrade process.  If you don’t need to keep any of your settings or installed applications and willing to start fresh from scratch like having it wipe clean then the upgrade will be less painful.

I had received a couple of email before today that Yahoo Briefcase will be closing.

At least they gave us a lot of time to prepare for this day.  The Yahoo Briefcase was fun to use and had been very useful for me. I guess it’s just the hard times that forces Yahoo to do it.  Anyway, thanks Yahoo.

When I was building this new quad core of mine using an ASUS M3N78-VM with an AMD Phenom x4 9550 a few months back I had to install the windows XP sp1 hoping to update after install but in the middle of installation it just froze on me a gave me the blue screen of death!

Here’s the error message I got;

STOP:0×0000007e (0xc0000005,0xf748e0bf,0xf78da208,0xf78d9f08)
PCI.sys -address F748E0BF base at F748700
date stamp 3b7d855c

at first glance i knew it was display driver error. It probably didn’t recognize my new onboard graphics card but no way to install the driver unless i complete the whole installation!

Searching the net i saw a couple of pages where it talks about this error. There’s this one site that helped me a lot but at the moment i forgot the site. I’ll re-post later but to make this short the suggested solutions is to install using SP2. But I don’t have the SP2. So the next possible solution is to do a slipstream XP installation disc!

An XP Slipstream installation disc is actually an xp sp1 with sp2 pre-installed on a newly burned disc. also I’ll post the link to that site where it details it. I just wanted to get rid of this piece of paper reminding me to post this to you’all. Hope this helps!
