BEST Plus

Thursday, June 6, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on BEST Plus

According to CAL, version 2.0 of BEST Plus is an individually administered, face-to-face oral interview designed to assess the English language proficiency of adult English language learners in the United States. Here are some things that I have discovered during the use of the program and support.

Installing on Windows
When installing BEST Plus 2.0 on Windows 10, be sure that you are using the compatibility mode for Windows 8 to avoid issues during the install. If you forget to do so, you will be told by the BEST Plus installer that the msvcrt40.dll in the system32 folder can not be opened and to check that the disk is not full and that you have access to the destination directory. You can confirm what I am saying by checking the folder and seeing the msvcrt40.dll is not there. If you went online and downloaded one and took ownership, remove it and utilize my installation method.

Removal on Windows
When the program is installed, it does not show up in the Control Panel and therefore it is a bit harder to do a one-click removal. The CAL.org does not show any removal instructions as well so before you make the install, create restore points or clone your drives.

EFI Folder

Wednesday, June 5, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on EFI Folder

After posting a video on instructional YouTube video, one question I anticipate to receive is, “Can I get a copy of your EFI Folder?” as that folder is important in operating a Hackintosh and HackBook.

So, what is the EFI Folder? It is a folder that is in the located in EFI System Partition (ESP) of the boot drive and aids in spoofing a device as an iMac or MacBook. Subfolders that you will see in the EFI Folder are APPLE, BOOT, CLOVER and will contain at least the files below.

APPLE
\EXTENSIONS
\FIRMWARE
\UPDATERS

BOOT
\BOOTX64.efi

CLOVER
\ACPI
\CLOVERX64.efi
\config.plist

Revert CoreStorage

Mark a USB Flash Drive as Active

Monday, June 3, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Mark a USB Flash Drive as Active

If you are trying to create a Bootable USB Windows Installer? They are very easy to make but depending on the USB Flash Drive in your possession, you may have trouble creating it so your best option is to utilize DISKPART from the Command Prompt. Unfortunately, while preparing the USB for the 25-minute upload of the uncompressed ISO image to your USB using DISKPART, you get a message telling you that you can not mark a USB Flash Drive as active and that is due to your USB drive being GPT instead of MBR.

Here is my method to create a Bootable USB Windows Installer.
01. Open the Command Prompt
02. Type DISKPART and press enter.
03. Type LIST DISK and wait for it to detect the USB.
04. Type SELECT DISK 1 (should match you USB) and press enter.
05. Type CLEAN and let it erase all the contents.
06. Type CREATE MBR and press enter.
07. Type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY and press enter.
08. Type SELECT PART 1 and press enter.
09. Type FORMAT QUICK and press enter.
10. Type ACTIVE and press enter.

You can now use Windows Explorer (in Windows 8 and later) to see the contents of your ISO so that you can copy it to your USB Flash Drive. If you are using any versions of Windows 7 system, you will need to install additional software that can read the contents of an ISO file.

Enable Pause in QuickTime for macOS

Saturday, March 23, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Enable Pause in QuickTime for macOS

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could enable pause in QuickTime for macOS? When you can and here is a demonstration.

Once your recording starts, QuickTime for macOS may hide itself leaving only the stop button on the menu and its icon on the dock. You will want to click on the QuickTime for macOS icon on the dock and that will make it the focus on the menu when you can now click on the ‘Esc’ key on your keyboard to bring up the Screen Recording window. The Screen Recording will give you the option to pause when you press and hold the ‘Alt’ key on the keyboard.

Timer for QuickTime Recordings

Thursday, March 21, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Timer for QuickTime Recordings

You may have noticed but there isn’t a timer for QuickTime recordings and if you are trying to meet a minimum (ie. for YouTube), you may find out that sometimes, you come up short so here are some ways to keep track.

Dual Monitors
If you have multiple monitors, use one of your free Internet browsers and navigate to Google.com. There, you can use their timer (to limit) or stopwatch (for tracking) with ease.

Siri
If you do not want to use the Internet, Siri can help. Ask “her” to set a timer for you in which she will inform you that she can’t and instead notify (with a popup) you at the time your timer would end.

Smartphone
Your Android or iOS device has apps that will help. Keep in mind that if audio is recording as well, it may pick up audio from your device.

Towel

Friday, March 1, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Towel

When I travel around, one item I like to have with me is a towel as it has many uses.

Protection
At times, I am given electronics to repair without advance notice so make sure that it does not get scratched on the way to the office for repairs, I carefully wrap it with the towel.

Draft
Sometimes, there is a cold draft that comes in from under doors and with a towel, I can have the air blocked off thus keeping the room to a comfortable temperature. Also, if I need to utilize a space heater, it will reach the set temperature faster and do less work as it is not fighting against the incoming air.

Light
As with the draft, light can enter through the crevices around the door and the towel can help reduce the intensity.

Odor
Keep odors from entering from the hallway outside your door by using a towel as a barrier.

Fake Microsoft Support

Thursday, February 28, 2019 Articles, News Comments Off on Fake Microsoft Support

If you are trapped on a page below, here are a few tips on how to get out of it on Internet Explorer.

Fake Support Site
* lamination.icu

Desktop
On a desktop computer with Internet Explorer as the browser, you will need to disconnect the Ethernet cable from the back of the computer or the wall jack if the desktop computer is in a locked podium or the rear is difficult to reach. Once the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the desktop computer, the web page will not have a chance to refresh the content from the Internet (thus causing an HTTP 404 Error) and this will end your session to allow you to close the browser or tab with the rogue page.

Laptop
On a laptop computer with Internet Explorer as the browser and using a wireless connection, you will need to disable wireless using Control Panel or WiFi switch (if equipped) on the front or side of the laptop. With the laptop disconnected from the Access Point, the webpage will not have a chance to refresh the content from the Internet (thus causing an HTTP 404 Error) and this will end your session thus allowing you to close the browser or tab. If the laptop can access the Internet over an Ethernet cable, please disconnect the Ethernet cable from the laptop as well.

Prevention
To prevent this from happening again to you, look to alternate browsers and use these for surfing the Internet and save Internet Explorer for the Intranet programs at your company or for your online banking as alternate browsers have a feature to prevent a web page from creating dialog boxes over and over. For a list of free Internet browsers, check on your favorite Search Engine then download from their official site to prevent yourself from adding threats on your device. Keep in mind, you may need to use the an Administrator account since the install will affect all users.

Saturday, February 16, 2019 Articles, Tips Comments Off on 0x6100004a

When someone has something important to print by the end of the day, they are greeted with a message showing 0x6100004a and since I am the printer guru, it then becomes my task to fix it. Normally, this takes about an hour (removing parts and cleaning them) to properly fix but it can be done in a quarter of the time to get the user to print their document then tweak overnight. Below are just a few ways you can see if the error is valid or a ghost issue and models showing the error message.

Drivers for the Fujitsu fi-6240Z

Tuesday, December 4, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Drivers for the Fujitsu fi-6240Z

Looking for drivers for the Fujitsu fi-6240Z Document Scanner? I was very fortunate to find the TWAIN32 Drivers that supports the listed Operating Systems from Microsoft. Since I manage 600 Dell computers running XP, Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10, and 4 different models of Fujitsu scanners, I make sure to use the same Windows 7 drivers so that I can rule out issues when I need to troubleshoot the computers or move from one machine to the next. I have tried updated drivers and saw issues on Windows 8 and 10 so I went back to the old Windows 7 drivers.

Install the Hardware
01. Do not plug in the data cable.
02. Do not plug in the power cable.
03. Skip to installing the drivers.
12. Install the power cable and power up.
13. Install the data cable and use normally.

Installing The Drivers
04. Close all programs such as Microsoft Word
05. Create a C:\Scanner\Drivers folder on the C:\ partition.
06. Navigate to Fujitsu’s website for Windows 7 drivers and avoid newer versions.
07. Download and save both TWAIN32 Drivers called Ftal8mX1m.exe and Ftal8mX1m_R.exe into C:\Scanner\Drivers.
08. Execute Ftal8mX1m.exe using an account with Local Administrator rights.
09. Search for the extracted setup file in the C:\Scanner\Drivers subfolder then execute.
10. Follow the directions prompted on the screen by the installer.
11. Restart the computer once you (and shared users) save your open files.

Now that the Windows 7 drivers I linked above to are installed and computer system restarted, connect data cable to the scanner and computer then the power cord to the scanner and outlet and power on the scanner so that the OS can detect the new hardware.

For easy scanning daily, navigate to the Control Panel and right click on the scanner in the Devices and Printers section and choose to create a desktop shortcut. It will do so on Desktop of the logged in account. Rename the shortcut and move it to the Public Desktop folder with an Administrator account so all logged in users will see the scanner, not just you then do a test scan with your scanning software.

TP-LINK USB Printer Controller

Monday, August 13, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off on TP-LINK USB Printer Controller

Are you having a hard time locating the TP-LINK USB Printer Controller? If you have followed the instructions by TP-Link, do not forget to change the Hardware Version number to match your device.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q7fqOc7Tbs

An example is seeking for the Archer CR700 (which currently comes in V1 and V2) and by default, the site chooses the V2 so the “Utility” tab is missing. Once that is set correctly to V1, you can download the following:
* TP-LINK USB Printer Controller Installer.dmg (for Apple’s macOS)
* TP-LINK USB Printer Controller Installer.exe (for Microsoft’s Windows)
Please keep in mind that the software may be limited to the V1 hardware and is no longer in the V2 or the V2 now has this built into the firmware.

Ways to Make Money Online

Friday, August 10, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Ways to Make Money Online

I have been asked quite a few times about ways to make money online and usually do not share the the tips that I know because it will make additional competitions plus restrictions when they abuse or misuse the tips. Here is what has worked for me over the years being online and offline as well.

Affiliate Marketing
There are companies that wants to get their products out there and if your browser or network connection is not blocking them, you will see it listed on the web pages of sites that you visit. If you have a website and it get traffic, Affiliate Marketing is a great way to start out but do not over do it on visual advertisements as the browser has to load them when the user visits. Remember that the user came to read the content, not see the ads. Ads are only helpful if they are shopping and your banner or link shows how to get it at a discount.

Internet Reseller
This do not always work but becoming a reseller of Internet services can be a way to make money online. You find the perfect domain name that is not registered or find one that an owner let expire (as they are short on funds, passed away or not paying attention) and register it. When someone needs the domain name, they will contact you for an offer.

Online Surveys
One way to make money online and store credit is to take online surveys. I have taken online surveys and has used the funds to rent movies, buy music from artists that I like along with electronic version books to improve my knowledge and skills which has helped in getting my foot in the door at companies in search of talented people.
