windows could not load the battery installer

My Windows Environment (Recommended Applications)

 

I just recently received a new lappy from work, and aside from some minor hardware updates it has 8 GB of RAM instead of the 4 GB of the predecessor. Hence, it is running Windows x64, which necessitates a reinstallation of all of my favorite applications, utilities, settings, and hacks. This will be my fledgling effort to provide a concise list for my own future reference and for the benefit of all you geeks out there on the Intertubes.

At this point the list is in no particular order. I may organize it someday if I'mexcruciatinglybored.

• Edit 1: added God Mode to Tweaks & Hacks.
• Edit 2: added TFTPD32, BlueScreenView, and SlimDrivers.

Windows 7 Tweaks & Hacks

(or skip these and go to the Applications list)

Task Bar: set to use small icons, and set to double-height to allow for more window names, with less combining (grouping), when running a lot of applications at once. As an added bonus, this view also provides more date detail in the SysTray.

Task Bar: set to combine buttons only when full so all individual windows are visible for single-click access unless you have a whole ton open at once. This also provides for a quick and convenient way to close 100+ Word documents you may have accidentally opened all at once by right-clicking and using "Close Group."

SysTray (i.e., "Notification Area): Windows 7 hides most SysTray icons by default unless they are providing an active notification. That's fine for most apps, but there are some icons I alwayswant visible, so I customize the following: Pidgin, Juniper VPN client, Core Temp, Dropbox, Network, Power, Volume, Macrium Reflect, and Skype. More later on what all of these applications actually are…

Configure power button (Start -> type "change what the power buttons do") to activate Suspend by default. If I really want to turn off the computer, it's best to do this the standard way through the Start Menu; if the computer has locked up, just hold the Power Button down for five seconds and it will turn off regardless.

Start Menu: set the "Power button action" to "Hibernate." I usually Suspend my computer most of the time, but when I won't be using it for an extended time I prefer to Hibernate. Unlike Suspend, this mode truly turns the computer off and stops using any battery power. The disadvantage is that Hibernate usually takes a lot longer to enact and resume since your entire RAM has to be stated (copied) to the disk before the computer can turn off. I do use one of the latest and greatest SSD models as my system disk though, so even with 8 GB of RAM the Hibernate feature takes only 45 seconds or so, and only 25 seconds to resume.

Windows Explorer: the default Windows Explorer icon pinned to your Task Bar is about as useless as I can imagine in its default view. Therefore, drag commonly used folders to it and they'll be "pinned" at the top of the context menu (right-click on it). I pin Computer, Documents, frequently used folders, and even UNC-path network shortcuts to it.

Task Bar: dragging an application shortcut to the Taskbar will "pin" it there similar to how the old QuickLaunch used to work in Windows 5.x. You can also right-click an already-running application and choose to pin. I remove most of the default pinned apps, and here are the apps I pin: OpenVPN, PaperPort, Notepad++, Explorer, Chrome, Outlook, Internet Explorer, Pidgin, Macrium Reflect, KeePass, and two internally developed applications from my employer. More on these apps later, of course.

X-Mouse! I'm a UNIX guy at heart and I love the default X-Mouse behavior. For those unfamiliar, it makes a window receive focus whenever you mouse over it (without clicking on it), and does notbring it to the foreground. It's really convenient when you need to type in a couple different windows or apps often but necessarily need them to come to the foreground of your workspace. It's also much faster than clicking on them. To enable this functionality you need to hack a couple Registry entries. Set the following:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferenceMask (REG_BINARY): 9f 3e 07 80 12 00 00 00
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ActiveWndTrkTimeout (REG_DWORD): 250 (Decimal)

The first entry enables the "focus on mouseover" functionality, and the second entry makes it more compatible with stupid Windows behaviors. By the latter, I'm referring to the many disconnected context menus and windows that pop-up on their own without a Task Bar entry. The number "250″ (in decimal) is the delay in milliseconds before the window is focused. By default there is no delay at all, and this is identical to the true X-Mouse behavior, but it causes all sorts of problems with some aspects of the Windows UI. Therefore I recommend setting to a value between 100 and 400 ms to allow just enough time to "cross the gaps" so you don't lose some important context menu, and other, functionality.

More X-Mouse!By default, the Windows pseudo-X-Mouse behavior hack from above only focuses to parent windows, not to child windows within the parent. But luckily there's a free program to fix the problem! WizMouse!

• Scrolls windows under the mouse without having to click first
• Enables the mouse wheel in applications that don't support mouse wheels
• Optionally reverse the mouse wheel direction (like OS X Lion "Natural" scrolling)

Sounds:Disable the Windows Start and Windows Exit sounds! These are useless, annoying, and slow down login and logout/shutdown.

Task Bar Autohide Keyboard Shortcut:I use some applications that really benefit from as many vertical pixels as I can give them, and the normal method of turning the Task Bar auto-hidefeature on and off is cumbersome, slow, and annoying. Fortunately there's an app for that! Taskbar Autohide. The website for this app has been down for a while now, but you can still find it on some download sites or by searching Google. Once it's running you can simply type Win+A to toggle the Task Barauto-hide!

Time Zone Selector Gadget:I routinely travel among the four common United States time zones, and Windows doesn't make it quick or convenient to update your current time zone. Luckily this Gadget (what Windows calls "widgets") will happily sit idle on your Desktop and change your time zone instantly with a single click. Time Zone Selector Gadget.

More Gadgets!AddGadget.com has a nice variety of Gadgets you can use to see detailed statistics and graphs of your CPU, network, drive, GPU, and battery. There's even one that reports worldwide earthquakes. AddGadget.com.

God Mode:there's an interesting way to put all administration functions into better-organized folders than Control Panel. It provides many common tasks at your fingertips. For most tasks I know the name of the app or service I need, so I simply type the Windows key and then type the name of the task to instantly find the app or service. But sometimes when you can't remember, this trick is handy for sorting. Use this script to create all of the "God Mode" folders:

bazzill paper basic grey what goes with it

A Rose by Any Other Name...

...is a Stampendous! Jumbo Cling Rose!  When I first saw this stamp, I just about swooned!  I know that sounds crazy to some but I was bitten and smitten and could hardly wait to get some ink on my very own!  I've done a few other cards with it but I had not done any of the new "Fran-tage"-style cards with the cool embossing powders and chunkier style glass glitters.  Well, I decided it was about time to "Fran-tage" it!  Here's the image after stamping it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest paper and coloring it with Copics R81, R83, R85 and R89: I have to say, I honestly thought the rose was quite pretty just on it's own but that is not what "Fran-tage" is all about.  No, Plain Jane is not Fran's idea of "Fran-tage" at all.  So, I picked out my papers and pulled out some of the new Stampendous! embossing powder, mica and glitter.

ich will dich nie wieder sehen

Eine Gescheiterte Existenz oder Ich will Dich nicht mehr sehen! das Parental Alienation Syndrom

Der Mensch hat fr seine Entwicklung zum Individuum ein unbegrenztes Potenzial. Diese Mglichkeiten, der Mensch zu werden, der ich dem Wesen nach sein soll, werden durch Kultur und Lebensbedingungen selektiert und durch Konditionierungen verschttet. Die Bilder, die andere von uns gemacht haben, und die wir bernehmen, sowie die Identifizierung mit Vorgngern im Familiensystem stehen im Konflikt zum wahren Sein.

Tritt scheinbar grundlos eine Kontaktverweigerung ein, ist es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass es sich um das Parental Alienation Syndrom (PAS) handelt. Es wurde erstmals von Richard A. Gardner, US-amerikanischer klinischer Professor fr Kinderpsychatrie und Psychoanalytiker, 1985 beschrieben. Zu Deutsch wird der Begriff zumeist mit Induzierter Eltern-Kind-Entfremdung bersetzt.

Der Wohnelternteil beeinflusst das Kind negativ in seiner Meinung ber den Elternteil, der nicht mehr mit dem Kind lebt. Dies geschieht aus verletzten Gefhlen heraus, aus Angst, auch noch das Kind zu verlieren oder bewusst, um den Ex-Partner zu verletzten. Das Kind wird als Mittel genutzt, um Machtverhltnisse zu klren.

So wendet sich das Kind kompromisslos dem geliebten Elternteil zu, welcher der mit ihm wohnende ist und verweigert den Kontakt zu dem Zielelternteil vllig. Es will ihn nicht mehr sehen, spricht nur schlecht ber ihn und hat alle schnen und verbindenden Erinnerungen aus seinem Gedchtnis gestrichen.

Dies knnen Merkmale fr PAS sein. Nach Gardner lsst sich das Syndrom an acht unterschiedlichen Symptome festmachen. Um ein PAS diagnostizieren zu knnen, mssen nicht unweigerlich alle Merkmale vorliegen. Sie knnen auch unterschiedlich stark ausgeprgt sein.

He will certainly be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He had a 22-year career that began with the Mariners as a 19-year-old in 1989. He was on pace to be the home run king until injuries derailed his chances.

We all went zip lining, Bryan explains, and my dad made a side comment that we could do something like that on our land. It got my attention, like a dog with its head turned to the side. I started thinking that we really should do it.

Why Is My Teenager So Exhausted?

I have teenagers, which means "morning" on non-school days usually happens at around 2 p.m. Although I have been known to kid them about wandering downstairs in their boxers looking for breakfast while Im cooking dinner, I am actually okay with this.

Through no fault of their own, teenagers are completely exhausted. High school begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends around 2:30 p.m., depending on the school district. After school are practices, rehearsals, club meetings, and part time jobs, followed by several hours of homework. Factor in eating, maintenance activities, and the hormonal changes that come with puberty, and it is a wonder how most kids can remain upright and coherent most of the day.

Rising Above The Talent Myth

by Don Campbell, LiteMind

"A genius! For 37 years I've practiced fourteen hours a day, and now they call me a genius!"–Pablo Sarasate (Spanish violinist)

Think of the greatest athlete, musician, artist or business professional that inspires you. The amazing talents that really stand out. Michael Jordan. Tiger Woods. Warren Buffett. They were each born with a special gift: wired from birth with talents and abilities that most of us don't have access to, right?

Research is showing that it's not that simple. In fact, many child prodigies don't go on to major success in the area of their early gifts. And many of the greatest performers, athletes and business people never showed any early signs of aptitude.

So, how did they become great at what they do?

A couple of years ago I read an article by Geoffrey Colvin in Fortune, What It Takes To Be Great. The article is fascinating and delves into the question of innate abilities, usually referred as "the talent myth".

The Research on Great Performance

In 1993, Florida State University professor K. Anders Ericsson and his colleagues published a paper on 'expert performance' which, along with the additional studies around the world that it inspired, made some very interesting discoveries:

Recycle Your Gaspailla Beads by Finding a Way to Display Them Year Round

So Gasparilla is over. You are probably left with some sore feet, maybe a lingering hangover, and of course – a whole lot of beads.

At the parade, the beads were a hot commodity – a prized possession. You probably even pushed your way through the crowd to catch the flailing glittery strings as they flew through the air.

But now that you are home, recovered from your post-Gasparilla haze, that big pile of plastic is probably a whole lot less appealing now that you are no longer a status symbol of Gasparilla – proudly covered from shoulders to ears in beads.

You've got the big pile of beads, now what?

For most people it's one of two things: toss them in a drawer and save them for next year or toss them in the garbage and collect more next year.

12 Simple Steps to Go Green in 2012

 

You've probably made the usual New Year's resolutions for 2012 – lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier, quit smoking, etc. Looking beyond our personal lives, there are things we can do to make our world greener, reduce our environmental impacts, and address hunger, poverty and climate change, according to the Worldwatch Institute, an independent global environmental research organization based in Washington, D.C.

"The global community, and particularly people living in industrialized societies, have put unsustainable demands on our planet's limited resources," said Worldwatch Institute President Robert Engelman in a press release issued by the institute. "If we expect to be able to feed, shelter, and provide even basic living conditions to our growing population in years to come, we must act now to change."

Simple practices, such as recycling or riding a bike, can have great impact. Let's all resolve to make 2012 a healthier, happier, and greener year for all. Here are 12 simple steps provided by the Worldwide Institute that folks in Duluth and Gwinnett County can follow to go green in 2012:

(1) Recycle

Recycling programs exist in cities and towns across the United States, helping to save energy and protect the environment. In 2009, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to require all homes and businesses to use recycling and composting collection programs. As a result, more than 75 percent of all material collected is being recycled, diverting 1.6 million tons from the landfills annually– double the weight of the Golden Gate Bridge. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for each pound of aluminum recovered, Americans save the energy resources necessary to generate roughly 7.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough to power a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years!

What you can do:

• Put a separate container next to your trash can or printer, making it easier to recycle your bottles, cans, and paper.

(2) Turn off the lights

On the last Saturday in March — March 31 in 2012 — hundreds of people, businesses, and governments around the world turn off their lights for an hour as part of Earth Hour, a movement to address climate change.

What you can do: 

• Earth Hour happens only once a year, but you can make an impact every day by turning off lights during bright daylight, or whenever you will be away for an extended period of time.

(3) Make the switch

The Common Ills: Iraq snapshot

Tuesday, January 31, 2012.  Chaos and violence continue, close to 500 people died in Iraq's January violence, a Palestinian is tortured to death by Thug Nouri al-Maliki's forces, Iraq drops significantly on Reporters Without Borders Press Index, Nouri wants to sue the Guardian yet again, the documentary This Is Where We Take Our Stand debuts in NYC tomorrow and DC on Wednesday, and more.

 

The Iraq War destroyed the lives of many in Iraq, women, Christians, Jews and Palestinians among them.  In 2006, Ken Ellingwood (Los Angeles Times) observed, "The civil war convulsing the country has raised worries about the fate of the approximately 20,000 Palestinians in Iraq, who are targeted by kidnappers and Shiite Muslim death squads because of what many Iraqis see as the group's favored status under former President Saddam Hussein."   Ali Kareem (ICR) offered this background on Iraq's Palestinian population in 2009:

 

Many Palestinian families have roots in this country dating to the creation of Israel in 1948 and its subsequent wars with its Arab neighbours. Others came more recently. Following his defeat in the first Gulf War in 1991, Saddam Hussein encouraged the migration of thousands of Palestinians to Iraq, promising jobs and preferential treatment in an effort to portray himself as a champion of oppressed Arabs.

According to the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR, Baghdad was home to some 30,000 Palestinians at the time of the US-led invasion in 2003. Less than half remain in the city now.

 

Last fall, Saed Bannoura (International Middle East Media Center) explained that from a high of 35,000, the population had declined to approximately 7,000.  A huge drop like that happens only because a population is living in fear and feeling that the government will not protect them.  That has been the case for Palestinians in Iraq.  The current prime minister is Nouri al-Maliki who has been prime minister since April 2006 and has done nothing to protect the Palestinian population.  In fact, from 2006 to 2010 refugee camp Al Tanf housed hundreds of Palestinians who were caught in the desert, unable to move forward to Syria (Saddam Hussein did not consider them residents in or citizens of Iraq, they were "bretheren" and, as such had no legal documents that the Syrian government would recognize at the border) and unable to go back to their homes.  They were left there by Nouri with no efforts made to assist them.  The United Nations would set up temporary tents for the refugees.  But Nouri did nothing.  Offered no aid. Offered no verbal comfort.  Just didn't give a damn.  And when the Palestinians are attacked, the killers and kidnappers are never brought to justice.  Nouri makes no public statements decrying the targeting.  The message to Iraq's thug population has been, "Attack them. You will not face punishment." 

 

And that thug population includes the security forces Nouri al-Maliki commands.  30-year-old Palestinian Emad Abdulsalam died last week. Ahlul Bayt News Agency reports the man was arrested in Doura three days ago and was tortured non-stop by Iraqi forces which notes the Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq "said that Palestinians have been the target of 'Death squads and militias' over the past six years under the very eyes of the government." The International Middle East Media Center gives his name as Imad Abdul-Salaam Abu Rabee and notes that Iraqi police grabbed him after he left work and was heading home. Imad's family sought out a forensic center in Baghdad which determined "that their son was killed under interrogation." The International Middle East Media Center notes:

It is worth mentioning that Abu Rabee' is married and a father of two children. His brother was killed by insurgents in Baghdad last year. He was born and raised in Iraq; his family is from the Al Boreij refugee camp, in the Gaza Strip.
Sa'ad voiced an appeal to the Palestinian Authority to act on resolving the plight of the Palestinian refugees in Iraq as soon as possible as they are being attacked and murdered by the Iraqi Police and by several militias in the country.

 

 

Ma'an News adds, "[The Society for Palestinian-Iraqi Brotherhood Imad Abdul Salam] Khalil said Palestinian refugees in Iraq have been targeted for sectarian reasons. International rights group Amnesty International says Iraqi forces use arbitrary detentions and torture to quell dissent."  Nouri's forces have tortured another person to death.  And it comes right as Nouri was hoping the news cycle would be dominated by the 16 "confessions" against Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi which state-TV Iraqiya has been in a frenzy over.  [Aswat al-Iraq: "Noteworthy is that the semi-official al-Iraqiya TV Satellite Channel had carried out an urgent report on Sunday, reporting that 16 members of Tariq Hashimy's bodyguards were charged with having been involved in terrorist acts, a report that was condemned, because it did not represent anything new in the series of charges against Hashimy and his bodyguards and office elements."]
