Activate God Mode in Windows 8

Many video games have a god mode. Windows 8 also has its own god mode! To activate it, create a new folder and add this:

.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

So you create the folder Params and then add .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} So in this example the name of your folder will be ->

Params.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Enjoy !

Netbeans - JVM creation failed

You tried to launch your Netbeans IDE and you encountered this error: 

JVM Creation Failed

In my case, under Windows XP x86, I modified this line (in configuration file C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.0\ etc\netbeans.conf)


->netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=384m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true"

by this one

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-Xmx256m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true"

Same solution works for Netbeans 7.1.1

Roomba 563 - Error 2 - clicking noise - constantly Asking for Brushes to Be Cleaned

You have a roomba and you love it. But suddenly, it don't want to clean your home and constantly asking for brushes to be cleaned.

The roomba website say "send back to support". Well come on....

Let's go nuts !

The first thing to do is return the beast.

Pull out the tray and brushes. Unscrew the 4 screws (blue arrows).

Ok, remove the battery.

Unscrew the 4 screws (blue arrows).

You can remove the CHM (Cleaning Head Module). Roomba without its CHM

The CHM.

The blue bin is flexible. You can easily undo the two tie holding the CHM in itself (green part). This will allow you to access this. Unscrew the 6 screws of this cache.

Look at this horror ... But I have a big dog, huh that's why it's so filthy, I assure you :-p So now, clean up all this careful to put out properly and put each element in its place, and miracle! The robot no making longer this awful "clack clack" noise ;-)

SDL Trados error 800736b1

Dans SDL Trados 2009 SP3, il se peut que vous rencontriez l'erreur 800736b1 lors de l'essai d'ajout d'une base terminologique. Il faut downloader et installer Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update:

Decrypt Data when disk is corrupted (HPProtectTools)

La première chose à faire est de créer un disque bootable contenant le plugin safeboot.

Téléchargez BartPE: http://www.nu2.nu/download.php?sFile=pebuilder3110a.exe
Téléchargez également safeboot.zip: http://sites.google.com/site/hardyj82/Safeboot.zip?attredirects=0

Installez BartPE.
 
Dézipper safeboot.zip et copier le dossier dans le répertoire plugin de BartPE (exemple: C:\pebuilder3110a\plugin\).

Si votre disque dur est connecté en SATA, il vous faut trouver et ajouter les drivers AHCI.

Pour les ajouter à votre CD bootable, créez un dossier iastor dans C:\pebuilder3110a\drivers\SCSIAdapter\

Copier les fichiers dans C:\pebuilder3110a\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor

Lancez le le programme PE Builder.

Cliquez sur Builder>Plugin afin de vérifier que le plugin Safeboot est bien chargé et activé. 

Et c'est parti pour la création de votre iso bootable (vous pouvez graver directement sur le CD/DVD sans passer par la création d'un iso). 

Si vous avez un fichier .dat contenant la clé de l'encryption de votre portable, je vous conseille de la graver directement sur le cd pour plus de simplicité. Vous pouvez utiliser le champ "Custom: (include files and folders from this directory) pour faire ça.

Une fois le CD créé, il va falloir utiliser une petite ruse pour contourner le fameux "code du jour" de MacAffee. Pour ce faire, bootez la machine à décrypter, rendez-vous dans le BIOS et modifiez la date du système par la date du 21 janvier 2010.

Lorsque le logiciel wintech vous demandera le code du jour, entrez 7674 et hop vous voilà autorisé !

Diskpart offline disk d

Il vous reste à vous authentifier via le fichier .dat que vous avez généré lors du cryptage de votre machine.

Ensuite, allez pêcher les informations sur la partition à décrypter. 

"Get information disk"

Vous aurez besoin des informations "Partition Sector start" (ex.: 0153613593) et "sector count" (ex.: 0334778472)

Ensuite faites un "force crypt", entrez les informations précédemment notées et cliquez sur "Decrypt".

Voilà, pour une partition de +-200 Go, il faut +- 48H pour que le processus de décryptage soit terminé.
