Have you been to the store, Stereosaut Audio Equipment, in the past seven (7) days? I get my audio equipment on Amazon as I am able to sit in my chair, read some reviews before making a commitment to buy a product that catches my eye but you may be the type of person that wants to go directly into a “brick and mortar” so that you can see and touch the equipment. If you have plans to check out Stereosaut Audio Equipment, know that it only exists in a Google Opinion Rewards survey.

Video Connections
Here are some video connections that I have come across when building or supporting systems.
DMS-59 – Female
DP – Female
DVI-D – Female
DVI-I – Female
HDMI – Female
USB – Female
VGA – Female
DMS-59
DMS-59 is often seen on video cards with AMD GPUs shipped by Dell and requires a Male-Female adapter cable and can split the image between a monitor and a secondary target such as a projector. When there is a “No Signal” issue, I have to check and see if it the video cable or the adapter itself as they often get damaged or loose due to the way they are made.
DP
DP will fasten to the source and target unlike HDMI will and does support audio and video. Be mindful that there are many audio support versions so do your research.
DVI
DVI comes in two flavors. DVI-D (digital signal only) and DVI-I (both analog and digital). When buying video cards, I make sure that it supports DVI-I so that I can use it with old equipment and is not limited to using a DVI-D cable only.
HDMI
HDMI carries both audio and video so most users choose to buy lard TVs and use it as a computer monitor for their work and play. Please note that HDMI cables do not fasten to the source or target and will become loose so if there is a display problem, check the connections first. For simplicity, if make the HDMI target a second display.
USB
USB has made connecting devices easily so there is no surprise that it would not be used in an attempt to carry audio and video signal. On an old laptop with a broken LCD, I have utilized a USB port to connect to an HDMI TV making the laptop useable until a replacement screen arrived.
VGA
VGA will not provide audio but there are lots of new and old monitors that support it. If getting an SFF video card, VGA may be missing so HDMI and DVI can be primary but will have pins on the board to connect and VGA output which will take up a second slot in the computer,
Issues with a Canon imageCLASS Printer
Over the years, I have seen numerous issues with a Canon imageCLASS Printer. Some are simple to troubleshoot while others are not. Let us go over what I have encountered.
Local Scanning
One issue that I see frequently is the end-user having trouble to scan with a Canon imageCLASS MF4450 that is hooked up to their workstation, so I wrote an article to cover it so that they and those searching the Internet can refer to it when needed.
Local Scanning
Now, for some reason, the end-users expect to be able to scan to their workstations from a Canon imageCLASS Printer the is set up in a networking environment. An Epson WorkForce is what they need or a Ricoh or HP which can scan to an email address.
Windows 10 Calculator
If you plan on using the Windows 10 Calculator, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Administrator Privileges
If your local or network account has been added to the Administrator group, the Windows 10 Calculator will not be available to you if the User Access Control is not on the “Never Notify” setting in the Control Panel. You will need to use an account without administrator privileges or place the UAC back on the default setting.
User Access Control
If the User Access Control is not on the default setting in the Control Panel, you may find out that the Windows 10 Calculator (along with the other windows 10 apps) will refuse to load. The setting could have been changed by someone who shares the system or by the Global Policy set by your job or educational institution. If the computer belongs to an educational institution, please note that the internal drive may be protected by software (SmartShield by Centurion Technologies) that erases all changes after a restart.
Activate Microsoft Office
One question that I am asked frequently by clients is my technique on how to activate Microsoft Office since Microsoft Office prompts them frequently to do so or when they move their drive to another Windows system or clone to a larger hard drive.
EFI Mounter
EFI Mounter is a small utility that mounts an EFI partition on the selected hard drive or USB flash drive. This is a simple wrapper for the terminal diskutil +some buttons
Mirror: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/528-efi-mounter/ v1.2.3
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
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
After installing macOS High Sierra, you should revert CoreStorage on your hard drive and doing so is as simple as running a command in the Terminal.
diskutil cs revert /
When done, save your files and restart the system.
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.
Trojans
Here are some Trojans that I have come across on the Windows Operating System while using Malwarebytes and is the reason why I started to use a Hackintosh and HackBook daily to reduce the risk of infection.
Dell Latitude E5440 HackBook
The Dell Latitude E5440 HackBook is a Hackintosh laptop that is capable of running Windows and macOS from one solid-state or hard disk drive. If you are considering making one on your own, know that it can be easy or difficult depending on your knowledge and access to websites across the globe.
Pre-installation
* Do not connect to the Internet during the install of macOS.
* Solid-state Drive or Hard Disk Drive should be 7mm.
Post Installation
* Temporarily keep the system from the Internet.
* Setup the keyboard once the install is complete.
* Disable GateKeeper to install apps easily.
* Revert CoreStorage partitions
* Enable TRIM Support for your installed SSDs.
* Turn off the auto features of the App Store
Enable Pause in QuickTime for macOS
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could enable pause in QuickTime for macOS? Well, you can (before Catalina) 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.
TP-Link TL-WN725N
The TP-Link TL-WN725N is perfect for a small factor Hackintosh or a HackBook that needs a wireless connection. If your device lacks an optical drive or if you misplaced your disc, you can go online for the Wireless-USB-Adapter-Clover since it is compatible.
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.
Index of /
Whenever you see Index of / as the title of a web page in Search Engines, it is an indication that the website listed is missing an index file and has also allowed directory listing in their .htaccess file located in the root of the site.
.htaccess file

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
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.
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.

Using Windows 10 in macOS
If you are wondering how to go about using Windows 10 in macOS, have no fear as it is very simple.
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 it 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 the 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 the 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.

Subject: I want a person who is trustworthy
My Dear Friend,
Let me first of all inform you, I got your email address from a mail
Directory and decided to mail you for a permission to go ahead. I am
Mrs. Anna Blair from United Kingdom, married to Dr. Anthony R. Blair who
worked with Texaco Oil Company in Malaysia before he died in a plane
crash on his way to a Board meeting. My Husband and I were married but
without any children. Since his death I decided not to re-marry and
presently I am 79 Years old. When my late husband was Alive he deposited
the sum of $11.5M. (Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars)
with a Bank.
Presently this money is still with the Bank and the management just
Wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or
rather Issue a letter of authority to somebody to receive it on my
behalf. I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment Cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and
my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live so I think
the best thing to do is to use the money for charity purposes.
I want a person who is trustworthy that I will make the beneficiary of
my late Husband’s Fund deposited with the bank so that the person can
get the money and utilize 70% of this money to fund churches, orphanages
and widows around the world.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact details of
the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove
you as the new beneficiary of this fund.Please assure me that you will
act accordingly as I stated here in and Keep this contact confidential
till such a time this funds get to your Custody. This is to ensure that
nothing jeopardizes my last wish on earth.
I await your urgent reply.
Regards,
Mrs. Anna Blair.
