SoftICE: Error launching on single machine environment

Issue:
when i try to load up softice using CTRL + D it come up with this message

"this machine is currently being debugged remotely by softice
networking not yet started
waiting for host to complete debugging"

Solution:
Problems with hyperthreading should be fixed if you install 3.2.1 of Driver
Studio. Do both the host and target installs for a single processor setup
and remember to reboot after.

This patch provides several fixes for DriverStudio 3.2 which include item for Softice and Visual Softice. Below is the link to zip file containing the patch. Download this file and unzip it to a temp directory, then follow the instruction on included readme file to install.

LCD Buying guide (some are Indonesian)

betul kata teman2 lcd awet itu krn cara pemakaian dan pemeliharaannya.. ^^ klo sudah berbagai simulasi untuk mencoba menghidupkan lcd gagal,brarti lcd itu sudah rusak...dan lcd bisa di gunakan lebih dari 7 tahun kok( tergantung merk,kualitas,dan cara pemakaiannya) ^^
untuk merk sy ref 1. AOC 2.BENQ 3. VIEWSONIC 4.SAMSUNG :) dynamic contrasnya rata 40000:1 (DVI dan HDMI support)
- untuk awetnya refresh ratenya di buat 60hz aja krn lcd2 skrg yg gede2 minta refresh rate segitu untuk suport di resolusi tinggi :D
- atur auto dinamic contrasnya,untuk menghemat daya dan meringankan kinerja lcd.(lcd awet) 8)
- cari lcd yg ada fitur safe mode (contoh: benq dan aoc) ;)
- cari yg inc nya pure 19 tao 20,jgn beli yg 18,5inc or 19,5(krn ini rasio 4:3 yg di lebarkan jadi 16:9 sehingga game,film wall paper gambarnya jadi kelihatan sedikit gepeng)
- untuk resolusi cari yg pure 1440x900(17-19inc) 1600 x 900(20-21inc) 1920x1280(22-23inc) jgn yg 1360x768,sudah pasti itu resolusi lcd unwide di paksa jadi wide

Toshiba laptop: Display suddenly goes blank while still in use

If using the Fn+F6/F7 keys do not brighten or dim your display and it's not a result of a power option (power / battery save) option, it may be hardware related. It sounds like either the 'backlight' in your internal LCD display or the laptop's FL inverter board is defective. When the backlight is not present, as in the two situations above, you can still faintly see the display although, it is very dim/dark.
The backlight is a very thin fluorescent tube at the base of the LCD panel. The backlight is built into the LCD panel. Fluorescent tubes are fragile and break easily. The FL inverter board is a small circuit board that ramps up the voltage going to the backlight and is controlled by the system board. In most cases like yours, the backlight is the failing component. The fix would require replacing the laptop's LCD panel which includes the backlight. If you have an extended warranty, I recommend contacting Toshiba. If the laptop is not under warranty, you could take it to a local ASP and have it diagnosed. Sadly, replacing the LCD panel out of warranty can be a bit pricey.

Realpopup: Cannot use network browser when File and Print Sharing is disabled

Confirm that network browser is working when File and Print Sharing (FPS) IS enabled.
Then disable again FPS.
If network browser is now stop working, use tools/utility to monitor which port it uses and configure your firewall accordingly.

How to use PC3000 ISA (Summary)

Use "safe mode" jumper setting only when the drive "hangs during start" or does not start without the safe mode jumper.
Why? Because "safe mode" has drawback:
We won't be able to load defects table from the firmware zone.
(Manual book section 7.1)

Find a working LDR file (and its associated .RAM file?) from Internet and put it on the root folder of PC3000
(We can also use "Create an LDR file" if we have a functional drive)

Load an LDR file

Modules loader

Standard mode [?]

Work with firmware zone

Read modules

Read groups of modules

Test firmware zone recording
(Manual book section 7.1)

Check firmware structure
Make note if any of these modules is damaged:
DMCS, U_LIST, AT_POL (G-List), AT_PDL (P-List)
Damaged/corrupted modules can be identified by their strings displayed with:
NO_PLIST, NO_GLIST, NO_DMCS

Exit program

Examine created folder for bad modules (has extension of .bad)

Copy files of good modules to the same folder (?)

Start program

Perform "Write modules" (?)

Repair header modules:
Firmware data > Work with firmware zone > Restore modules
(Manual book section 7.2)

Find firmware for harddisk

Example:
DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB
Full model: 6E040L0711214
Family: N40P
Code: NAR61HA0 KMBA
Firmware: NAR61HA0
Head code: K,M,B,A
PCB code: B8FED

Googling: 6E040L0 KMBA

PC 3000 (Indonesian)

Siapakan HDD yg bermasalah. Test dengan power supply only untuk memastikan masalah bukan di PCB.

Setelah yakin bukan PCB yang bermasalah, pasang jumper safe mode pada HDD :
Maxtor Ares (2F0 series)
http://forum.hddguru.com/uploaded_images/6472_ARES_1.jpg

Maxtor Athena DSP (2B0 series) - WAH21PB0
http://forum.hddguru.com/uploaded_images/6472_ATHENA_ATA2PLUS_1.jpg


Maxtor Athena Poker (2B0 series) - WAK21R90

Maxtor Calypso (6Y0 series)
http://forum.hddguru.com/uploaded_images/6472_CALIPSO_1.jpg

Maxtor N40P (6E0 series)
http://forum.hddguru.com/uploaded_images/6472_N40P_1.jpg

Pasang pada Port ATA-0 di PC 3000 Card (Jangan input Power On dulu)

Setelah terpasang, panggil shell.com dari PC 3000.

Muncul menu utama PC 3000, pilih merk HDD yg bersangkutan, pilih type yang sesuai (lihat sticky !)

Power On (F11), masuk menu utility, Load ldr file dng checksum yg sesuai (lihat sticky !)

Reread drive ID

Enter standard mode.

Firmware operation

Test firmware structure

Periksa apakah checksum sesuai.

Read modues

Read modules group

Defect tables, Read G-List

Defect Table Read P-List

Move G-List to P-List

Ok, setelah read modules dan module groups, di root PC3K nya akan muncul folder [MXDSPMOD] atau [MXPKRMOD]. Cek apakah ada module yg bad saat dibaca.

Exit utility PC 3K, lihat ke root directory dan buka folder yg dihasilkan. Cek seluruh module yg ada, periksa mana yang rusak.

Ok, setelah pengecekan akan terlihat adanya module yang rusak (*.bad). Pastikan kita memiliki module pengganti dengan checksum yang sama.

Juka tidak ada, jangan lanjutkan. Cari sampai dapat module pengganti dengan checksum yang sama.
Lakukan SA Write Test.
Jika ada checksum yg sama, overwrite module dengan yg baru.

Lakukan Module Recovery (ATPOL, ATPDL, DCMS, U List) untuk perbaikan header dan checksum

Exit. Power off (F12)

Set jumper ke standard mode.
Power On (F11)
Pilih utility lagi (Sesuai dengan merk dan model HDD)
Seharusnya jika module yang tepat telah masuk ke HDD, maka HDD akan dikenali sebagai model asli.

Catatan untuk PC 3000 ISA/DOS versi crack:
Anda hanya bisa menggunakannya untuk Maxtor single head drives. Untuk lebih dari single head, useless....tdk bisa pindah head untuk operasi firmware

Display HTML code in our blog

How to display HTML code in blog or web
http://interestingwebs.blogspot.com/2008/12/easy-way-to-put-code-snippets-in-blog.html

Connect to network shared resources through script

Since WSH/VBScript doesn't facilitate password input with mask, we must combine windows scripting with a HTML page.

HTML page (call it password.htm):
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

Sub RunScript
OKClicked.Value = "OK"
End Sub

Sub CancelScript
OKClicked.Value = "Cancelled"
End Sub

</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
<font size="2" face="Arial">
Login:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font face="Arial">
<input type="text" name="UserLogin" size="40"></font></p>

<font size="2" face="Arial">
Password:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font face="Arial">
<input type="password" name="UserPassword" size="40"></font></p>

<input type="hidden" name="OKClicked" size = "20">

<input id=runbutton class="button" type="button" value=" OK "
name="ok_button" onClick="RunScript">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input id=runbutton class="button" type="button" value="Cancel"
name="cancel_button" onClick="CancelScript">

</BODY>

Script (will call password.htm):
On Error Resume Next

Set objExplorer = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application", "IE_")
set net = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")

objExplorer.Navigate "file:///C:\password.htm"
objExplorer.ToolBar = 0
objExplorer.StatusBar = 0
objExplorer.Width = 400
objExplorer.Height = 350
objExplorer.Left = 300
objExplorer.Top = 200
objExplorer.Visible = 1

Do While (objExplorer.Document.Body.All.OKClicked.Value = "")
Wscript.Sleep 250
Loop

strLogin = objExplorer.Document.Body.All.UserLogin.Value
strPassword = objExplorer.Document.Body.All.UserPassword.Value
strButton = objExplorer.Document.Body.All.OKClicked.Value
objExplorer.Quit
Wscript.Sleep 250

If strButton = "Cancelled" Then
Wscript.Quit
Else
'Wscript.Echo strPassword
net.MapNetworkDrive "", "\\fileserv\sharedfolder", , strLogin, strPassword
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\compname\sharedprinter", strLogin, strPassword
End If

Accessing network resources using credentials with VBScript
www.winfrastructure.net/article.aspx?BlogEntry=Accessing-network-resources-using-credentials-with-VBScript

The downsides of this approach:
1) Only works with IE
2) Unless we set security level to Low (which is not recommended), we have to manually 'allow blocked content' each time we launch this script

A more elegant way is to install PassDlg.dll and use the included sample script (combined with part of the above script that establish connection to network shares)
Note for Windows 7 64bit:
Since PassDlg.dll is 32bit, we must associate (Open with, Always) the script with 32bit scripting host (
%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\cscript.exe or %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\wscript.exe)
If association fails (error "ActiveX component can't create object 'xxx.xxx'. Code: 800A01AD), create a .cmd file containing the following command:
%windir%\SysWOW64\wscript.exe "Network Resources.vbs"
