by on Jun.27, 2011, under Linux, Windows

How to re-enable the Google Toolbar in Firefox 5.

Solution: Change maxVersion in the install.rdf file to 5.*. Do a search if your not sure where the file is located.

Linux:

– Edit ~user/.mozilla/firefox/mhznvz4j.default/extensions/\{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c\}/install.rdf

– Change <em:maxVersion>4.*</em:maxVersion> to <em:maxVersion>5.*</em:maxVersion> and save.

– Start Firefox. Toolbar should start normally.

Windows:

The same ./extensions/\{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c\}/install.rdf file can be edited in Windows to restore the Google Toolbar.

Or:
about:config
nightly.disableCheckCompatibility=false
extensions.checkCompatibility=false

Recover Vista Boot Record

by on Aug.10, 2008, under Windows

Did GRUB get a little carried away and overwrite the Vista boot loader? Here’s the fix:

  1. Boot to Vista installation CD
  2. Enter system recovery > command prompt
  3. Run: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
  4. Run: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot

GRUB is now gone, and the system should boot normally to the Vista login screen.

Fact:  Application X crashes.

Reason #1:  If OS is Windows XP, then application X sucks.

Reason #2: If OS is Vista…  Vista Sucks.
