How to Repair Outlook PST files

Stellar Outlook PST repair is a very useful program to repair corrupt pst files. If you are using Microsoft Outlook as your email client application, you will be familiar with the concept of Personal Folder Files in Outlook, which are files with a .pst extension. The default Outlook pst file is called “outlook.pst”, but you can use as many additional Personal Folder files are you want.

But if a pst file gets corrupted, Outlook will not be able to access the contents anymore. This could mean loss of emails, contact, calendars and other Outlook data. In some cases you might be able to use scanpst.exe from Microsoft to recover the pst file, but Stellar Outlook PST Repair can recover PST files, recover PST passwords and split large PST files.

Recovering Corrupt PST Files

The first thing to do is to download and install Stellar Outlook PST Repair. The download is less than 4 MB, so it should not take long to download. Installing is also easy and straightforward.

Once installed, start Stellar Outlook PST Repair by clicking the desktop icon. Make sure Outlook is not running, as that will prevent access to the pst files. The first window you will see is the choice of functionality.

• To repair a pst file, select the Repair PST File button.
  
• The next window you will see asks for the location and name of the PST file that you want to
• repair. Use the Select PST File button the locate and select the corrupt pst file.
  

Once the pst file is selected, click the Start button to initiate the repair scan of the pst file. You will see the progress of the pst repair scan, which can take a few seconds up to a few minutes, depending on the size of the pst file.

Once the pst repair is complete, you can browse through the results, but the program also automatically creates a new pst file a the selected destination folder with the results. Please note that in the demo you will not get the full recovery results, you need to register the software for that.

You can now simply open the new pst file with the recovered contents in Outlook, or import the pst file contents into the existing Outlook pst files

How to Fix the Vista Blue Screen of Death Error

How to Fix the Vista Blue Screen of Death Error

It’s a fact; Windows Vista is still prone to some of the annoyances faced by older versions of Windows. One of the most common issues is the notorious Vista Blue Screen of Death or simply, the BSOD. Everything can be going fine one day and the next you know… you are stuck with a blue screen bearing some incomprehensible computer language. It can be a terribly frustrating experience but don't panic; this article will provide you with some helpful tips for dealing with the Vista Blue Screen of Death.

Troubleshoot and Resolve…

The best way to troubleshoot the dreaded blue screen is to present yourself with a few questions. Here they are:

Did You Recently Install Any New Software or Hardware?

If you installed a new program or device, it could be the cause of your blue screen error. Why? Well, older systems like XP are still widely used and therefore, some devices are not compatible with Vista. If you installed new hardware such as a printer, digital camera or graphics card, remove it. If it is a new program, try booting your PC in Safe Mode and then uninstall the software.

Is There a Software Conflict?

Conflict between software applications running on a PC is one of the most common causes of the Vista Blue Screen of Death. This is especially the case with security programs such as anti-virus software. For example, if you have Norton anti-virus installed along with a similar security firewall program developed by McAfee, these applications will usually find conflict and your PC is the one to suffer. In most cases, all you have to do is remove one of the programs and your blue screen errors will be long gone.

Extract Core Files

Another common cause of the Vista Blue Screen of Death is the presence of malicious software, usually a virus infection. A virus can infect up to six of the core system files on Windows Vista. These files include the following

• C:/Windows\explorer.exe
  
  C:/Windows\system32\1sass.exe
  
• C:/Windows\system32\services.exe
  
• C:/Windows\system32\svchost.exe
  
• C:/Windows\system32\spoolsv.exe
  
• C:/Windows\system32\winlogon.exe

When this is the case, these files need to disinfected or replaced with clean versions. You can do this by extracting the files from a service pack disk or using a recovery tool. These methods are recommended because most anti-virus software programs are designed to remove infected items and these files are critical to your operating system.

Analyze the Blue Error Screen Message

When encountering the Vista Blue Screen of Death, one of the first things you need to do is review the message that comes along with the error. If this is a reoccurring problem, disable the "Automatic restart on fatal error" option so the message will be displayed long enough for you to jot down the STOP code details and find out what's going on. After gathering this information, visit the Microsoft website and see if you can match it up with a patch or update that resolves the problem. Good luck!

Notes on How to Fix the Vista Blue Screen of Death Error:

A faulty stick of ram can also cause a blue screen of death.

Wireless Router Tips

Wireless Router Tips

What to look for when buying a wireless router

There are a wide variety of wireless routers on the market today. The features you need will depend on the extent of your network. In general it is good to look for one that has a built in firewall for security, decent speed and the ability to act as both a wired and wireless router, and good range. Belkin routers and Linksys routers are two popular brands. For the best range and speed, look for a wireless router which uses 802.11g technology.

Sharing an internet connection with a wireless router

A wireless router hooks up directly to your cable or DSL modem via a cable. The wireless router will then transmit the broadband single to the computers with a wireless card in the range of the network. You will need to make sure that the cards are configured for the home network, same as with a wired network, but after that, you will be wire free!

Linksys wireless router

Linksys wireless routers are an excellent brand which offers many benefits to users. Linksys makes routers which use 802.11g technology, which offers increased speed and range over older standards. They offer wireless routers in a variety of price ranges so they are affordable and functional for a wide variety of wireless networks. You can also purchase a linksys router with speed booster technology to further increase network speed and productivity.

Wireless Router

A router is a device which connects one network to another. It is most used for connecting the internet (one large network) with a home or business network. Wireless routers allow you to share a broadband internet connection between several computers.

Wireless Router with Firewall

Not all wireless routers come equipped with a firewall, but it is worth investing in a router that has one. Linksys wireless routers come in a variety of prices with a variety of firewall capabilities. Depending on the security needs of your wireless network, you may want to consider getting a wireless router with sophisticated firewall technology.

Belkin wireless router

Belkin wireless routers offer excellent range and speed. One of their newest routers, the Belkin Pre-N has 8 times the range and 6 times the speed of regular 802.11g technology routers. They offer a variety of other wireless routers to meet the needs of small and large wireless network administrators.

Best Wireless Router

The best wireless router will depend on your wireless network. If you have a small network within a small range of one another, it may not be necessary to purchase the latest and greatest wireless router on the market. However, if you run an office or business and want to maintain quality speed and performance, it is in your best interest to purchase the latest technology for the wireless router.

Wireless Router Password

Most wireless routers come with a default password of admin. To maintain optimal wireless network security, it is a good idea to change this password so others will not be able to access the router, firewall, etc and hack your wireless network.

Wired and wireless router

Many wireless routers offer the ability to use both a wired and wireless network. If you are not ready, and cannot make the switch fully to a wireless network, consider purchasing a wireless router which offers both options.

Wireless Internet Tips

If you plan on sharing your wireless internet access, you will need to have that option turned on in your settings. However, if you do not have other computers hooked up to the network at this time, for security purposes, you should leave the setting turned off until the need arises to share the wireless internet access.

Wireless Internet Speeds

Coming in at the slowest is Bluetooth, followed by 802.11b, 802.11a and topping the charts currently is 802.11g. 802.11b is roughly equivalent to the traditional wired 10BaseT Wired Ethernet networks. Therefore, switching to Wi-Fi should not considerably slow down your wireless internet connection.

Wireless Network Equipment While Traveling

You will need to have a wireless network card, either an adapter or integrated in your laptop. If you do not have an available slot on your PC, there are adapters you can purchase that plug into a USB port on the computer.

Finding a Wireless Internet Hot Spot

There are several stores and restaurants that offer wireless internet access, such as Starbucks. If you have a particular destination in mind, you can call the hotels to see if they offer the service. There are also hot spot directories that you can search to find wireless internet access.

Wireless internet - WiFi Standards

802.11 is the Wi-Fi standard, however there are other standards which are variations of the 802.11. These include:

• 802.11a
  
• 802.11b
  
• 802.11g
  
• 802.11i.
  

The differences among these standards includes speed, transmission frequency, and price. 802.11g is backwards compatible with previous products, but that is not the case with 802.11a. Make sure you check on compatibility issues prior to purchasing products.

Wireless Internet and Dial up

It is possible to share a wireless internet connection with dial up, but it is not a very good idea. Some access points, such as the airport extreme base station from Apple, will allow this. However, there is some slow down time with sharing a wireless internet connection, and if you decide to share a dial up connection, you won't be surfing anything fast.

Finding a Wireless Internet Hot Spot in a Chain

If you are traveling and know that you will be stopping at Starbucks, for example, and want to access the internet, you can check out their website to see what specific franchises offer wireless internet access.

Paying for Wireless Internet Access

Most likely, you will need to pay for the high speed wireless internet access when you travel. Starbucks for example uses T-mobile as their wireless internet provider. You will need to have a t-mobile account in order to access wi-fi at Starbucks. There are some restaurants that may advertise free Wi-Fi, but in general, you should expect to pay a fee.

Nationwide Wireless Internet Service

There are a plethora of national wireless high speed internet services available. AT&T, Sprint PCS, T-mobile, and Verizon are a few which offer nationwide service. You will want to check out various pricing, roaming policies and fees for the various networks.

Mixing Apples and PC's to Share Wireless Internet Connection

You can mix apple and PC on a wireless network and share a wireless internet access. For example, Apple makes an access point called the AirPort Extreme Base station. Even though it is made by Apple, it still uses the Wi-Fi standard, and PC computers with a wireless adapter on the network will be able to share the wireless internet connection

Mixing Wireless Internet and Wired Internet

You can easily share a wireless internet access while still maintaining a wired network. There are many wireless routers on the market which offer both wired and wireless network capabilities. It is also possible to add on an access point after a wired router for wireless access.

Configuring Wireless Access Point to Share Wireless Internet Connection

Once you install the drivers on your computer for the access point, you will be able to open up the configuration software that comes with the router. The IP address 192.168.0.0 is the lowest in the network and should be dedicated to the router. Make sure to follow the specific configuration instructions that come with your wireless router, as each product will be slightly different from one another.

Wireless Internet Equipment

The beauty of the WI-FI is that it set a standard for wireless networking. Because of this, you do not need to have equipment from all the same venders in order to run a successful wireless network. You will be able to share wireless internet access as well without having equipment from all the same venders.

Configuring Wireless Internet Card

You will need to use the configuration software that comes with your network card to configure your computer to work at various hot spots. Simply type in the hotspot network name (various depending on the service you are using) and state the type of network, such as access point. You can also scan available wireless broadband internet access in the area and choose which network you wish to connect with.

Wireless Internet WIFI

WI-FI, the 802.11 standard, is important for a variety of reasons. Having a standard in the industry ensures that anyone using wi-fi will be using the same standard, therefore equipment and connections are interchangeable. Having a set standard makes setting up wireless networks, sharing wireless internet access and working with wireless equipment more users friendly.

Show Hidden Files and Folders not working?

Show Hidden Files and Folders not working?

A few days back, a client came to me and told me that he was having trouble with his Windows XP. The show hidden files and folders was not working at all. If he selected the radio button “Show hidden files and folders”, and then press Ok .. the changes would just disappear upon opening the dialog again. It was probably some virus attack after which the Windows registry was not being updated properly. So here is what I did to restore it back. There are so many methods to restore back the registry. If one method is not working, please try another one.

Method 1:

Go to registry editor by running regedit in the run box.Go to this key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
In the right hand area, double click hidden and change the value to 1.

Now you’re all set to go. Check it in your tools menu if the changes have taken effect.

Method 2:

1. Click “Start” -> “Run…” (or press Windows key + R)2. Type “regedit” and click “Ok”.3. Find the

key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL4. Look at the “CheckedValue” key… This should be a DWORD key. If it isn’t, delete the key.5. Create a new key called “CheckedValue” as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.6. The

“Show hidden files & folders” check box should now work normally. Enjoy!

Method 3:

1- Click Start –> Run –> regsvr32 /i browseui.dll –> enter
A confirmation message will appear like given below
2- Click Start –> Run –> regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Wait for the confirmation and click OK.

Method 4:

If none of the above methods work, please download our Smart Virus Remover from here:
