If Windows Update is stuck (especially on 0%) for at least 30 minutes, it is possible that your Windows PC has insufficient hard drive space to complete the updates. To determine this, you will needs access to a second hard drive or a second computer.

Second Computer
With access to a second computer, you can place your hard drive that is having the issue as a slave or secondary drive inside. Do not worry if the motherboard does not support adding a second hard drive as you should be able to use the data and power cable for your optical drive temporarily so you can see the capacity of the troubled hard drive in Windows Explorer.

Second Hard Drive
If you can not get access to a second computer, the next best thing is to get your hands on a second hard drive with the same OS and matching Legacy or UEFI firmware setting and boot it with your troubled drive as a slave or secondary hard drive. If you have a mirror copy of your hard drive, this will be perfect as it will save you up to an hour installing the Operating System and programs and all you need to do is upload your data.

Before powering up your backup drive, please remove the Ethernet cable so the computer can not go online to check for Windows Update. If you get the message of a hard drive not found when booting the hard drive, you will need to check your setting in the BIOS and cables once more.

Prevention
Run Disk Cleanup on your hard drive frequently. Windows update files are removed after 30 days to give you the chance to roll back but this also eats up your hard drive resources so put it on your calendar of things to do.

In Microsoft’s quest to provide more screen real estate when surfing the Internet and Intranet, they went ahead and hid the Menu Bar in Internet Explorer and most people do not notice this until it is time to print the page.

When they need to print the web page and notice that the menu bar is no longer around to complete their tasks, my phone rings to find out what on earth I did to cause it. Thanks for that, Microsoft. Fortunately, it easy to help them fix it over the phone and with this article, I can now have them do it via email as well by linking to this tip while responding to their ticket.

Using the Mouse/Touchpad
1. Make sure that Internet Explorer is open and not minimized.
2. Move the mouse to the top of the Internet Explorer window.
3. Right click on Internet Explorer window.
4. Wait for the menu to appear.
5a. To enable, left click the Menu Bar option.
5b. To disable, left click the Menu Bar option.
6a. If it was hidden, confirm the that the Menu Bar is now showing.
6b. If it was showing, confirm the that the Menu Bar is now hidden.

Using the Keyboard
1. Make sure that Internet Explorer is open and not minimized.
2. Press and release the ALT key on the keyboard to activate the Menu Bar.
3. Next press and release the V key.
4. Now press and release the T key.
5a. To permanently show the Menu Bar, click the M key.
5b. To permanently hide the Menu Bar, click the M key.
6a. If it was hidden, confirm the that the Menu Bar is now showing.
6b. If it was showing, confirm the that the Menu Bar is now hidden.

If you have a fault light on a HUE-800S Ethernet Rail Switch, you need to see if PWR1 and PWR2 lights (or LEDs) are illuminated. If one is not, then you need to bridge PWR1 and PWR2.

Thanks to the HUE-800S Manual, I discovered that the electricians hired to do the configuration missed this vital part and was no longer being blamed for physically damaging the switch or making Ethernet cables by hand improperly to cause the issue.

I have had clients complain about their ability to watch videos online as the video playback is green in the many free Internet browsers that they have tried. If you are reading this, I hope that you will be fortunate to have it resolved as well.

Edge by Microsoft (Microsoft Edge)
I have only received a limited amount of requests to troubleshoot Edge as the browser is avoided due to issues with UAC (User Access Control) in Windows 10. I used it personally for online banking in the past but after the constant pop ups and news feed on the home page, I have ditched it for an alternate browser. If you develop a problem watching videos, please try switching between a window and full screen using your Win+Shift+Enter keys. This is the only solution that I have found (and that works) and if I discover others, will post further tips.

Chrome by Google (Google Chrome)
I have received a few requests to troubleshoot Chrome and those users did not close their browser in a awhile so it did not get the chance to update so check to see if the browser has updates that needs to go through. An indication on the browser menu will show that updates are pending.

Internet Explorer by Microsoft (Microsoft Internet Explorer)
I receive daily  requests to trouble Microsoft’s Internet Explorer so I know that there is a high chance that you need to have Microsoft Silverlight installed on the computer if the video is being streamed from a Microsoft website as it is their alternative to Adobe’s Flash. Since changes to the browser affects all local and domain users of the PC, be sure that you have local Administrator rights or have the password credentials for an Administrator account ready to enter when prompted. Before you attempt this solution, please look for your GPU rendering setting under the Advanced tab of Internet Options then check the box as this has help users on Windows 8.1 using Internet Explorer 11.

Firefox by Mozilla (Mozilla Firefox)
I only need to use Mozilla Firefox because it is one of the supported browsers for YouTube as it helps avoid most advertisements due to the plugins available plus play music in the background on mobile devices for free instead of subscribing to YouTube Red. Also, since I am not signed into YouTube or Google Account on Mozilla Firefox, my recommended list stays clean so I am not bombarded with videos that is always monetized by the publisher. If you are on YouTube with Mozilla Firefox and your video playback is green, try lowering your video playback setting to the lowest that it can go. If the video playback is no longer green and returns when you go to a higher video playback, please right click on the video and disable hardware acceleration from the Settings options.

Opera by Opera Software (Opera Web Browser)
Opera is a nice browser. An Intranet I use only worked with Internet Explorer (lazy programmers) so I could not use Chrome on my desktop or mobile. I had Opera installed along time ago but stop using it (due the the Amazon referral link on the Speed Dial page) but the Intranet could not tell I was not using Internet Explorer and loaded the content I needed to see so I used it when on mobile. As with the Firefox browser, if you are having issues with video playback, please go ahead and disable hardware acceleration.

If you want remove the K1000 Agent from your system, you will need to create a batch file called agent_msi_remove.bat. If the K1000 Agent is not on your system when you execute the batch file, you will get the following.

Command Line Removal

[MSGCODE: 000] Begin agent_msi_remove.bat processing.
[MSGCODE: 002] K1000 Agent is not installed.
[MSGCODE: 100] End agent_msi_remove.bat processing.

If the K1000 Agent is on your system, then it will uninstall it. It should work without your account being in the Administrator group but it is best to be in the group or switch over to a local account that has such access.

Command Line Removal

[MSGCODE: 000] Begin agent_msi_remove.bat processing.
[MSGCODE: 005] K1000 Agent is detected.
[MSGCODE: 006] Removing K1000 Agent.

Note: The Network Administrator (such as myself) can push it back to your system via Global Policy at anytime but we usually do it once. For new systems being deployed or replacement hard drives, the agent can be manually installed by our technicians.

If you are a Network Administrator and wish to prevent user from uninstalling, be sure that your technicians place them in the proper local group on the computer. For those who must be in the Administrator group to run programs such as FormFusion, try adding SmartShield by Centurion Technologies to the system as it will protect the hard disk drive from permanent changes upon a reboot.

WARNING: Removing the Agent from a PC owned by your job or school could cause you to face disciplinary action if done without permission. Read your employee or student handbook carefully or uninstall without permission at your own risk.

If you see RSA WebCRD in the title of a webpage on a website, that site is most likely an educational institution and the section is created for their Printing Department. It seems that one institution will use it and then the others copy to stay competitive or Rochester Software Associates, Inc. has a great Sales and Marketing Team to push the software.

The host name on routers is one the the most important information to know as an IT Technician or even an Internet user. Normally, you can access a router web interface that is on your network by visiting http://192.168.X.X or http://10.0.X.X (a reserved static IP Address known as the GATEWAY) but unfortunately, the information can be changed and sometimes without your permission when there is a potential for an IP Address conflict on the network as seen below.

Important Update

To avoid a conflict with your Internet Service Provider, your router’s IP address has been updated to 172.16.0.1.

You must now update the IP addresses in your router’s configuration settings for each relevant service, such as port forwarding and IP address reservation.

If you no longer have the information posted above or can not access the router because it was changed by someone else, you could visit the Command Prompt and let IPCONFIG list the results to get the new GATEWAY information. Please note that if you are on WiFi, you could receive incorrect info if AP Isolation is being used.

If the Command Prompt is disabled due to Local or Global Policy, try these links instead to regain access to the router.

Having a problem with your computer and believe it is virus related? Well, I would suggest to you that you download, install and run the latest Microsoft Safety Scanner on your computer and check if it helps you to find the issue and correct the problem.

Please note that any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely from the system, which means there is a potential for data loss if you do not have a backup stored away in a free online storage account or locally on a USB Flash Drive.

Do you know how to check the headers of the email in Microsoft Outlook? Most people do not know that it is possible. Well, it is very possible to do so from the OPTIONS area. With the knowledge, you can see if the Microsoft Outlook Test Message that you found in your inbox or trash was originated from your computer or network.

Sadly, a Network Profile can become corrupted and the only permanent way to fix it is use the Registry Editor. Please keep in mind that you will have to setup Outlook (and similar programs) again so that they can access their email from the Exchange Server. The steps to recreate a network profile is as follow.

In Person Using the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
01. Log into the computer with a Local Administrator account.
02. Left-click the Start Button when from the Desktop.
03. Type regedit in the Run/Start Search box.
04. Wait for the Registry Editor window to open.
05. Double-click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
06. Double-click on the SOFTWARE folder.
07. Double-click on the Microsoft folder.
08. Double-click on the Windows NT folder.
09. Double-click on the CurrentVersion folder.
10. Double-click on the ProfileList folder.
11. Scroll through the listed key there paying attention to ProfileImagePath.
12. Now delete the key name that mentions the corrupted user’s network profile.
13. Minimize the Registry Editor window.
14. Navigate to the user’s profile folder on the boot drive. (C:\Users or C:\Documents and Settings\)
15. Append the username with ‘.old’ in the list.

Update: On one occasion, I mistakenly rebooted in step 16 and when the user logged in, all their files were already transferred during the restart to the new profile. I could not duplicate this, however, for other incidents with other users but felt I would share it with you as it could save time with a large profile.

16. Log out then have the user log into the computer.
17. Save a .txt file on the desktop and log out the user.
18. Have the user log in again and check for the .txt file.
19a. If the .txt file is still there, the issue is fixed so you can copy (not move) the data from the corrupted account.
19b. If the account still shows temporary, try and delete the profile from the Registry Editor again or setup a new hard drive and migrate the files from the account.
20. After four weeks, you can delete the appended profile and files to save disk space. If you replaced the corrupted hard drive, you can erase it and use for someone else.

Remote Desktop Using the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
01. Log into the computer with a Local Administrator account.
02. Left-click the Start Button when from the Desktop.
03. Type regedit in the Run/Start Search box.
04. Wait for the Registry Editor window to open.
05. Double-click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
06. Double-click on the SOFTWARE folder.
07. Double-click on the Microsoft folder.
08. Double-click on the Windows NT folder.
09. Double-click on the CurrentVersion folder.
10. Double-click on the ProfileList folder.
11. Scroll through the listed key there paying attention to ProfileImagePath.
12. Now delete the key name that mentions the corrupted user’s network profile.
13. Minimize the Registry Editor window.
14. Navigate to the user’s profile folder on the boot drive. (C:\Users or C:\Documents and Settings\)
15. Append the username with ‘.old’ in the list.
16a. Log out then have the user log into the computer if present.
16b. If user is not present, Reset the password and log in.
17. Complete the migration and leave a voice message to request new password.

If you are able to listen to your voicemail that arrives as an attachment in your email, be sure that you know how to reinstall Windows Media Player since this program is often the default program for playing .wav files on Windows computing devices.

What is the difference between TAPE and NAS for your Small Business backup needs? Let us break it down and see which will be more beneficial for you.

TAPES

Backup Window for Tapes
A significant backup window is required to complete a full backup – time lost for access to vital systems.

Recover Point for Tapes
Systems are typically backed up every 24 hours. Are you ready to lose a day’s worth of work?

Recover Time for Tapes
There’s nothing automatic about restoring with tape. The process is time-consuming and labor intensive.

NAS

Backup Window for NAS
There is no backup window… your critical business systems remain up and running.

Backup Window for NAS
Data snap shots take place every 15 minutes…about the same length of time as a coffee break.

Recover Time for NAS
Recovery is as simple as pushing a few buttons (or clicking a mouse). Systems are restored in less than half an hour.

Are you blocking the Wayback Machine from your websites? You may not want to do that as if someone was to copy the content from your website to use on their site, you could actually go to the Internet Archive and show how long your content has been there to prove your case.

Second, if you are not using a Content Management System for your site and is making the pages individually and loose a page by accident or by vandalism, you can go back and grab a copy or copies should you not have a reliable backup to restore from.

Should you be worried about port scanning?” Not at all. Port scanning is scripting that are let loose by hackers and as long as your server is kept secure, port scanning really isn’t all that useful to them or dangerous to you.

Below are some ports you should be familiar with so that you can gain access or prevent an intrusion on your workstation and network.

Port 21 is for FTP
Port 22 is for SSH
Port 23 is for TELNET
Port 25 is for SMTP
Port 53 is for DNS
Port 80 is for HTTP
Port 110 is for POP3
Port 115 is for SFTP
Port 135 is for RPC
Port 139 is for NetBIOS
Port 143 is for is for IMAP
Port 194 is for IRC
Port 443 is for SSL
Port 445 is for SMB
Port 1433 is for MSSQL
Port 3306 is for MySQL
Port 3389 is for Remote Desktop
Port 5632 is for PCAnywhere
Port 5900 is for VNC
Port 6112 is for Warcraft III

If you have a WordPress site and did not rename the Administrator account, be sure to avoid the following passwords as these are the most tested passwords upon your login.

* 1234
* 1234567
* 159753
* 1q2w3e4r5t
* 666666
* 789456123
* 88888888
* 9111961
* admin1
* adminadmin
* demo
* password
* q1w2e3r4t5

As you can see, numbers are not an ideal password. Also, longer and special characters will be ideal.

When I purchansed my Sony PlayStation Portable many years ago, one software title that I picked up at the same time was Juiced: Eliminator. I never believed in using a laptop, computer or mobile phone to play games so the Sony PSP was the perfect device to unwind with on the go and over the years, here are some tips that I have picked up.

Starting Out
It is best to start out with the VW Beetle 1.8T. It is expensive but if a showoff event comes up in the first five days, you are ready to take it on.

Show Off
As mentioned previously, The Beetle is also perfect for competing in a showoff events due to its weight and tires.

Sprint
For sprints, any vehicle equipped with nitrous oxide will get across the line first. Just remember to tap repeatedly instead of holding it in and Hayden (Velocity Racers) will be impressed with your times.

Downgrade
The Nissan 300ZX is a Class 7 RWD car that is sold at 204 BHP. Buy it and quickly maneuver to the shop (to avoid a Class 7 Pink Slip race) so that you can downgrade the car to 199 BHP which will allow you to compete in Class 8 races. With the suspension, brakes and nitrous oxide topped out on level 3, you will be a beast on the straightaway. Just be cautious of racers in the rear trying to do a pit maneuver as it will send you spinning like a dime if you are not good at drifting.

Your Crew
Your crew can handle HIGH for 1 lap, MEDIUM for 2 laps and LOW for 3 laps. Let your crew drive the most powerful FWD car you own and limit the race to one lap then drive in second and block the competition from passing. To secure a wan, choose Eliminator.

Cheat Code
Want to save some time? Enter PIES to unlock the vehicles in the Arcade Mode.

Most companies and educational institutions set a limit on the number of copies an employee can make in a given time frame (so it is not abused) and to get around this, the employee will do massive printing on the office network printer. If you are the boss or is in the IT Department with the task of preventing it, you could try and enable mopier mode to limit this from happening. To enable mopier mode, please try the following. Keep in mind, if user are not connected through a server and uses the IP address, you will have to visit each machine instead of making one change on the server.

Printer Model
* HP Color LaserJet 5550 (Keep Mopier Disabled)
* HP LaserJet 8000N (Keep Mopier Disabled)

To Enable Mopier Mode: Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10
01. Bring up the Run Window by pressing the Windows and R keys.
02. Type control printers then press the OK button.
03. In the Devices and Printers window, right click your Printer.
04. Select Printer Properties.
04. Select Printer Properties
05. Click the Device Settings Tab
06. Scroll down to the bottom. If necessary, expand Installable Options.
07. Click on Mopier Mode
08. Unselect the Disable option in the selection box that appears
09. Click Apply

Note: Mopier Mode is now enabled but be aware, you may not be able to get multiple copies through Microsoft Office (ie. Outlook and Word) but Microsoft Notepad will continue to work fine.

Sadly, a Local Profile can become corrupted and the only way to fix it is use the Registry Editor to delete the profile from the ProfileList then append ‘.old’ to the profile and ask the user to log in and save a .txt file on the desktop to see if it erases once you log out. If the file remains, you can then copy the files from the appended ‘.old’ account so that the user can have access to them again. Keep in mind you will have to setup Outlook (and similar programs) again so that they can access their email. the steps to recreate a local profile is as follow.

Using the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
01. Log into the computer with a Local Administrator account
02. Left-click the Start Button when from the Desktop.
03. Type regedit in the Run/Start Search box.
04. Wait for the Registry Editor window to open.
05. Double-click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
06. Double-click on the SOFTWARE folder.
07. Double-click on the Microsoft folder.
08. Double-click on the Windows NT folder.
09. Double-click on the CurrentVersion folder.
10. Double-click on the ProfileList folder.
11. Scroll through the listed key there paying attention to ProfileImagePath.
12. Now delete the key name that mentions the corrupted user’s local profile.
13. Close or minimize the Registry Editor window.
14. Navigate to the user’s profile folder on the boot drive. (C:\Users or C:\Documents and Settings\)
15. Append the username with ‘.old’ in the list.
16. Log out then have the user log into the computer.
17. Save a .txt file on the desktop and log out the user.
18. Have the user log in again and check for the .txt file.
19. If the .txt file is still there, the issue is fixed. Otherwise, the account is temporary.

When doing a fresh install of an Operating System to a device that lacked an optical drive, I am never worried as I have access to a USB3.0 Blu-Ray drive that I could connect to any available USB port on the computing device to boot and install the OS for the CD, DVD or Blu-Ray disc given.

The trouble came recently when I had a 4.8GB .ISO file of Windows Server 2016 that I needed to burn to a disc and it was naturally too big for a 700MB CD or the 4.7GB DVD that I had. Also, when I went to burn the .ISO image to Blu-Ray disc with Roxio Creator DE 10.3 the software (possibly my version) could not see my Blu-Ray discs.

Some of my associates says that I should use some dual layer DVD discs but I did not have any with me because dual layer DVD discs was something that I never needed before. Besides, I had Blu-Ray discs that holds up to 25GB each for larger storage and assumed that this would work.

As I looked at online reviews from previous owners of dual layer DVD discs, I narrowed it down to two brands. One for it’s reliability and the other for it’s low price. I added the items to my wishlist and decide I will wait a week to commit to both sets of dual layer DVD discs or just one.

As I continued to do hunting online, my research pointed me to the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. With the tool, I was able to burn that large .ISO file to a small 8GB USB Flash drive. Instead of cloning discs now and in the future and risk them getting scratched, lost or stolen, I am making .ISO files and archive them on free online storage services then download the files for burning with the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.

Note: If your drives are not compatible, use DISKPART from the Command Prompt.

Benefits of The Windows USB/DVD Download Tool
* Alternative to the DISKPART command.
* Boot without access to optical drives.
* Graphical User Interface and mouse interaction.
* No special commands to remember.
* Saves on optical drive repairs/replacement/upgrades.

Drawbacks of The Windows USB/DVD Download Tool
* Additional storage for the install.
* Compatibility with bargain USB Flash Drives.
* Internet Access to download the software.
* Not built-in to the Operating System.

The Barracuda Malware Removal Tool performs a comprehensive scan of your computer for any traces of spyware or other malware. This scan is very thorough and takes several minutes to complete. After the analysis is finished, you can remove all the malware and traces of malware that have been found. Please note that you must login as an administrator to be able to run this tool.

The analysis and removal of spyware and other malware from your Barracuda Web Filter includes detecting and removing many small traces, cookies, potential spyware files and temporary files from your computer. Many of these items pose a minor risk and blocking them can cause some Web sites to malfunction; therefore, the Barracuda Web Filter does not block them at the network level.

As such, the Barracuda Malware Removal Tool (a customized version of MalwareBytes) will typically identify items for removal that are not blocked at the network level by the Barracuda Web Filter.

For maximum security, complete removal of these files from your computer is recommended.

What is the en-GB.xml file that people are searching for on your server? It is apart of the Content Management Systems I mentioned previously called Joomla.

The path to the file is /language/en-GB/en-GB.xml and will vary if you have Joomla in a subfolder or not. While scanning your server for weakness, other paths checked as well are listed below.
* /administrator/manifests/files/joomla.xml
* /administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.xml

If you utilize Joomla, I encourage you to keep a closer eye on incoming requests, stay updated so that you can be sure that your visitors and server stay protected from exploits.

If you are planning on blocking CHINANET, here are a few CIDRs to add to your firewall if you are using one of the Content Management Systems called Joomla.

Should you leave your PC on or off? Well, it depends on if the PC (personal computer) is in a home or work environment.

CMOS Batteries
Do you know how the time is kept correctly on your computer even when it is off for a few days? It is all due to CMOS Batteries that are placed on the motherboard. Thees batteries, typically non-rechargeable CR2032 versus rechargeable LR2032, last a period of three years which is often the warranty length of the unit. The more times the PC is kept off, the more times the PC has to depend on the CMOS batteries thus reducing the lifespan of the batteries and unfortunately, when the battery fails, it will cause error messages to display during POST. Sure you can press a button on the keyboard to continue but if you need to restart a PC remotely, someone still has to go to the machine and hit a key to continue unless you setup a robot arm as well.

Computer Updates
Leaving a computer on also give the OS (such as Microsoft Windows) the opportunity to search, download and install updates. You antivirus program will also be able to install new definitions and scan your data and programs as well. Keep in mind that HP LaserJet 1022 and Windows Update on Windows 7 at times causes issues so set Windows updates on manual instead of automatic.

When I saw the compact keyboard from the Logitech Mk360 Wireless Combo (that also includes an optical mouse), I fell in love with it and ask the owner where they got it and was told that it was obtained through Staples. That made me very happy as I could either order it online or pick up up at a store that is within 2 miles of my office.

I went Staples.com website to check out the selling price and saw it selling for US$39.99. To get the MSRP to see how much I would be saving, I went over to Amazon.com. There, the MSRP of the Logitech MK360 Wireless Combo was US$39.99 and a asking price of US$35.99 which is a 10% savings of US$4.00.

As I was about to order it, I saw one marked used and decided to check out the details. It was actually new but the packaging box was slightly damage. Since I am not planning on reselling it customers, the condition of the box did not matter to me and so, I was able to get it under US$20.00 (US$19.97 + NJ Sales Tax).

Did you know that is is possible to sell on Amazon? All you need to is to follow these few steps.

Choose Your Products
As a new seller, you can sell in at least 20 product categories. If you choose a Professional selling plan, you can apply to sell in more than 15 additional categories.

Select a Selling Plan
If you plan to sell more than 40 items per month, you should consider the Professional plan. If you plan to sell just a few items, take a look at the Individual plan.

Setup an Account
After selecting a selling plan, follow the step-by-step instructions, and they will help you get your account up and running as quickly as possible.

Subscription and Selling Fees
Pay the subscription fees plus additional selling fees to keep your account going.

Have you reached your limit? If you are using the Karma Go, it will be easy to get there.

Hey Karma User,
You’ve used up your 15GB and you’re now running on minimal speeds.
It’s okay, don’t panic. You’ll still have internet from now on, but only for simple tasks such as messaging and emailing. You can also switch back to Refuel if you’d like.
In better news, your data amount will be back to square one at your next billing cycle on February 1, 2016.

What is also painful is the fact that only 3 devices can be on at a time so that limits you to a laptop, tablet and mobile phone.
