That's it! The complaint that I usually get from Windows Vista and 7 Users is that many of these system resources can be troublesome to find. Remember that you can always use the search box in your start menu to find windows operations & programs.

You can run Open DNS Updater as a Window Service by doing the following:

1. Start it as a service with SrvAny.exe. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890

2. Keep in mind you may need to copy the folder and files from: "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\OpenDNS Updater" to the other "user's" home's application data then.

david How to Fix Unable to Install Printer The Print Processor Does Not Exist Jul 30th, 2009 12:46:08 pm - Subscribe
Today we received this issue in our Houston offices, and suprisingly it was pretty easy to resolve. The error message was Unable to Install Printer The Print Processor Does Not Exist.

How to Fix Unable to Install Printer The Print Processor Does Not Exist
Ok obviously you are recieving this error upon the installation of a new or exisiting printer on your local area network, or heck it maybe connected directly to the PC. Well to fix this problem simply uninstall the driver, and then reinstall. You may be prompted during the hardware installation wizard to Use the Existing Driver (recommended) or reinstall the driver. Well, just reinstall it. This will remove, and reinstall the print processor associated with the service / printer.

To recap go to:
  • Start
  • Control Panel
  • Printer & Faxes
  • Add a New Printer
  • Start Hardware Wizard
  • Reinstall the Printer Driver (do not use existing)
  • Finish the Hardware Wizard
  • Test Print (if you like)

    Should you have any issues feel free to collaborate and post them here. Hope this helps!

    david Where is ScanPST.exe on Windows Vista & Windows XP Office Jul 14th, 2009 12:54:33 pm - Subscribe
    I received a call from our Houston office today (here at work), letting me know that they were having an issue with one of the terminals. Seems as though Microsoft Office Outlook was displaying and error upon populating the .pst file.

    Well obviously you would use the ScanPST.exe but heck, Where is ScanPST on Windows Vista & Windows XP Office? Well here are the locations for you. Hopefully this will save you some time.

    Location of Windows Vista ScanPST.exe
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12

    Location of Windows XP ScanPST.exe
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMapi\1033\Scanpst.exe

    Be sure to allow the viewing of hidden files and folders on your machine. If you do not there is a chance that you will not be able to locate the ScanPST.exe file that you need to run.

    How to Allow Hidden Files and Folders
    Start > Control Panel > Files and Folders or Folder Options > View > Under Hidden Files and Folders > Bubble in Show Hidden Files and Folders > Apply > Ok

    Good luck!

    Puro San Antonio is or could be or may be is a twitter, blog, news, or some other social media account that has sprung up in San Antonio.

    Puro meaning pure, and San Antonio meaning San Antonio Texas. Puro San Antonio is all about San Antonio Texas, and from what I have noticed on such sites as twitter many users state many typical San Antonio events and situations that happen around in the city. Such as:

  • The person in front of me at HEB had: Diapers, Beer and a pregnancy test. #purosanantonio
  • random carnival in my n'hood.... that's #purosanantonio
  • When you see someone on their Iphone, while waiting at the bus stop, that's #purosanantonio.
  • I just had a barbacoa taco with Big Red, now that's Puro San Antonio!!!<--- YES!!

    This is some very funny and very stereotypical blerps. Good humor for those who have lived, or were born in the city.

    For more of this follow on Twitter Puro San Antonio.

    david Download Hava Player Portable App Jun 28th, 2009 2:12:39 pm - Subscribe
    Just wondering if anyone knows where to find an existing download of the Hava Player Portable App.

    Download Hava Player Portable App

    Don't get me wrong, the Hava Player is a great install, but what I am looking for is the portable app / thinstall so that I can put it on my usb 2.0 stick. I believe the installation of the application (non portable is around 80 megs) Which for a player, it is kind of a lot. If we can get that player down to 12 megs, with the ease on no installation of files to a computer now that would be awesome.

    For those of you do not know what the Hava Player is come take a look at MyHava.com. This enables you to stream your TV to any computer in your home or anywhere with a connection to the internet. So to have a portable app for this...well that would just be awesome.

    Perhaps I will make a the app, but with the way my schedule looks...I really do not have the time to sit down, do a clean install of my system, and thinstall the Hava Player. If anyone can help in this venture that would be great.

    Please assist! Links are welcomed.

    david How to Fix Remote Desktop No Error Message Problem Jun 8th, 2009 10:07:26 pm - Subscribe
    Entry explains How to Fix Remote Desktop No Error Message Problem. For all of you that are having problems with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Connection, I may have a(n) answer for you. The issue occurs when you try and access the PC with Remote Desktop. Well it doesn't give you an error, but simply wait's for a couple of seconds, then appears to time out. It took me a couple of hours to find what the error was, but luckily I got it fixed.

    Well first off I will list everything that I did try, to make sure that the program was working and not corrupted in anyway.

    What I verified during my troubleshooting

    1. [See your router] Made sure my ports were forwarded.
    2. Start > Right Click My Computer > Properties > Remote. Check marked Allow Remote Assistance invitations to be sent from this computer
    3. Start > Right Click My Computer > Properties > Remote. Check marked Allow users to connect remotely to this computer
    4. Start > Run > CMD. Able to telnet with commands 'telnet myipaddress port
    5. Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions Tab > Edit. Checked my firewall and gave it Remote Desktop permissions to work outside of it.


    How I fixed the Remote Desktop No Error Message Problem
    I realized that I wanted to try the vertical options that my 21' LCD monitor had. That is when I knew that's when I started having problems. I figured that Remote Desktop was unable to tell my PC that it was flipped vertically, and not horizontally. So rather than settling with a horizontal monitor and conforming to my problem, I decided to update the drivers.

    When I updated my Nvidia GeForce 7800 to the latest drivers and rebooted. Boom! I was able to connect remotely from another PC. So there you go, of you guys are having issues try updating your video drivers. This issue has something to do with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop not recognizing monitor changes, and not knowing how to deal with it. There for the system gives you no error, because it's clueless.

    Still have questions? Post below and I will see if I can give you some help with this issue.

    My question to you guys is If CD's Suck Why Trust Hard Drives? I know the answer, but I wanted to hear what you guys have to say about it.

    So how about it, do you back up on CD's, DVD's, or on Hard Drives (HD's). The answer should all be the same. But lets see if we can help everyone understand the difference.

    david How to Backup Files and Access them Remotely Apr 30th, 2009 8:22:21 pm - Subscribe
    How to Backup Files and Access them Remotely

    For the past month I have been backing up my files remotely. I am storing all music, software, and photos on a remote server.

    The idea is to store and back up all of my .jpg, jpeg, .gif, .png, .doc, .docx, .db, .sql, .htm, .html, .php, .asp, .xml, .bin, .ink, .3g2, .torrent, .bmp, .psd, .psp, .pspimage, .fla, .swf, .ai, . .zip, .rar, .iso, .img, .exe, .bat, .cmd, .avi, .xvid, .divx, .cfg, .svg, .rom, .log, .dll, files so that I can access them at a later date.

    The only reason why I am backing up is to store what means the most to me. I have organized my files, functions, themes, and profiles, in such a way that I will never have to worry about hardware.

    If I have a drivers disk that I will need, I make it into a .ISO and simply back it up to my 1TB external drive, which then syncs to my remotely hosted account.

    It is said that your data is only safe if you back it up three times. Once in your home, secondly at an office, and third remotely at a server that is other than where you live.

    Many people are afraid of the remote server personal accessing there files, and I do understand that. My recommendation is to encrypt your files. I won't go into encrypting files here, but if you do a google search perhaps you will find what you need. From there you will have the ability to upload your encrypted files and have them hosted.

    Some remote file hosting websites that I recommend are safe and private. Here is a list for you to try out.
