I needed to update from Respondus LockDown Browser Lab version 1.0.5.14 to version 1.0.7.02. This is how I've done it as an SCCM application. This could probably be modified to be used in some other deployment solution, but I've tested it with SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows 7 clients running 32 and 64 bit versions. After 1.0.7.02 was activated this error shows on 1.0.5.14 Install Shield files and installer folder First, you'll need to create setup.iss files. Instructions can be found here:  http://www.respondus.com/update/2009-11-d.shtml Here's their instructions for convenience: First, be sure that Respondus LockDown Browser isn’t already installed on the computer. If it is, then un-install it before continuing. Download the full installer (LockDownSFX.exe) from the Respondus website.  BE SURE  to obtain the .exe via the admin login for your institution since the installer differs for each institution. Run the installer and select the "Click Here...

Click the link to download an unbeatable Tic-Tac-Toe game. It's possible to get a CAT game or lose, but the computer will never lose! You can also play two player if you want to have the possibility of winning. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2509724/TTT.exe One player will be against the computer, two player will be against a friend (same computer) Player one to choose X or O The Computer Wins! I created the program in high school after completing all of the assignments for the class. It was created with Visual Basic 6 with about 1200 lines of code. The program is fully functional, but certainly not polished. It was created pretty simply, e.g. the computer is not performing strategy, just making the pre-programmed best move, as Tic-Tac-Toe is a pretty simple game if you think about it. I also created a minesweeper game similar to the windows one, but I had a few bugs that I could never iron out. Sadly, I think I left that one on the classroom computer and don...

This is how I created a bootable external drive with two partitions: One for WDS/Ghost etc. and the other for OSX install disk. For my drive, I've got a custom WinPE startup OS, and the OS 10.8 install image. The end result is an external drive that I can use to image or backup almost any computer that I come across. Below are the steps that I took to create the drive, but I'll cut to what I got hung up on: The Windows partition must be Active or your machine won't boot to it . Restoring the OSX image will remove this from the NTFS partition. 1. Create your Windows partition. (these steps can also be done in disk management) Run CMD as an administrator (you must right click on CMD and run as administrator, not just be logged in as an administrator)  In CMD, run diskpart  list disk  select disk <#>    clean (! will remove all current partitions !)  create partition primary size=<n> (MB)  active  format fs=ntfs quick...

When installing MySQL 5.5 on a Windows 7 machine, I received this error: "an unknown error occurred while validating the service account" and the installation would not complete, and I also got a configuration error with something like "unable to configure service". After googling a bit and playing around with the settings, the answer was pretty simple. The default administrator account needs to be enabled . Although this was a pretty easy answer, I couldn't find it anywhere! Result after enabling the default administrator account Sorry I don't have more screen-shots, but I think it's pretty self explanatory. I may or may not add more later.

It doesn't seem like texting (SMS) has much to do with fax machines. Perhaps not technically, but I will argue that the two technologies are very similar in the way we use them. At first I just wanted to compare the two tools of communication and how similar they seem. However, what I really want to say is that both of these tools are absolutely useless, and if you have either one, you are just giving your money away for something that is already free. The most important thing that they have in common is that both technologies are obsolete, yet are still widely used. Worse, these technologies have free alternatives, but many many people are still paying large monthly fees to keep the service running. A lot of money is spent to keep us backwards compatible for those that only have these ancient forms of communication and refuse to use something better. The short answer is that internet access has replaced these tools, yet many still are clinging to that old familiar fax or text. ...

I ran into the problem when embedding files into a Word document. I was using Office 2007, but this may be a problem in other versions. Word says that it is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action . What I had to do is open the task manager and end acroread.exe or whatever pdf program was running. After that I could embed the file successfully. I'll upload screen-shots if I ever run into it again.
