Runtime 76 Error Messages Increasing

Posted in Personal Tech on July 29th, 2010 by contributor – Be the first to comment

The number of computer users reporting a problem with the runtime 76 error “path not found” took a significant jump this past month.  Could the problem be a new malware that targets the Windows registry?  Ripping up the registry is a beloved hobby for the jerks that create malicious code.  The runtime 76 error reveals that the commands your operating system went searching for within the registry couldn’t be found.

Even when you think you don’t have a malware infection, just for thrills run the “full” diagnostic with your anti-virus program.  Hunting for a virus in the registry and your temporary files isn’t a guaranteed process on many of anti-virus application everyday settings.  Hackers are honing their attacks against those vulnerable spots more and more.

It’s not as though viruses are becoming less complex to combat.  If you don’t know what concealment malware is, you will soon.  Rootkit is a kind of malware that masks hostile code behind innocent looking file extensions or harmless processes in your Windows registry.   And the number one location you truly don’t need a virus surviving is inside the registry, since it is the instructional database for the PC’s successful operation.

Collecting the key “if then” commands the computer needs to run into a segregated registry began with Windows 95.  This offered vital data a safe shelter which seems like a smart thought.  The bad news is that the registry is an attractive target to any hacker.  And also you nearly need a PhD in Windows to confidently edit it and remove registry trash like empty keys, out of date user settings, and orphaned DLLs.

Even though this theory that malware is causing the sudden increase in runtime 76 error incidents isn’t officially confirmed so far, I can’t see how performing the complete diagnostic with your anti-virus utility is a bad step.  The second move is to run the best registry repair software to fix those corrupted pathways and eliminate the junk in your registry.  A registry cleaner like RegCure does it work by discovering any foreign (and maybe malicious) code in your registry and either erasing them automatically or offering them to you for manual inspection.

There are, naturally, other things that result in the runtime 76 error.  If you work on a multi-user network, the runtime 76 error is occasionally the result when your specific computer doesn’t have a temporary directory or a ‘host’ file the program needs to function.  The temporary directory or ‘host’ file is present on someone else’s local PC, not yours.  Is it possible to install the application directly onto your particular PC?  That often addresses the issue.  Or see the system admin for a user setting adjustment that allows you to access the particular file.

The runtime 76 error could also come up if you suffer from a flawed uninstall.  Although you uninstall, the registry holds onto program -specific values.  When you did the reinstallation, the existing files were simply recycled, and you didn’t get a brand new set of program files in your registry.  To get a really clean installation, you’ll have to use a registry cleaner after the uninstallation.  You may now reinstall onto the blank slate registry an all new set of instructional values and you won’t receive the runtime 76 error any more.

What Type Of Ham Broadcasting Licenses Are There

Posted in Personal Tech on July 28th, 2010 by contributor – Be the first to comment

Once the technology became affordable almost immediately people began forming amatuer radio organizations fascinated by the possibility of long distance communication. One reason people choose amateur radio is that you can broadcast up to 1000 watts of power as compared to only 4 watts with CB radio. The wavebands available are wider and less cluttered, communication can be made via AM, SSB, FM radio-teletype, even certain TV signals. With new satellite technology it is possible to reach anywhere in the world. Of course with power comes responsibility, in order to acquire all this you must pass severl exams..

There are several different types of amateur radio license available.

Acquiring a Novice licence means you can access some HF frequencies and transmit between 28.3 and 28.5 MHz also between 28.1 and 28.3 for radio teletype. To access these channels all you need is a 10 Meter Radio even though these radios are often referred to as a 10 Meter CB Radio they are actually quite different as a CB radio does not require you to have a license and a 10 Meter Radio does. SSB and FM voice as well as two-way broadcasting via television frequencies are permissable between 222.01 and 223.91 Mhz and also 1270 – 1295 Mhz.They make it rather simple to gain a Novice license, just pass a simple theory test and be a little profecient in Morse code.

Becoming a Technician class operator gratns transmission on the Very High Frequency and Ultra High Frequency bands.Achieveing a Technicians license opens up the VHF and UHF bands.~The Technicians license means that you can now broadcast on the UHF and VHF channels. To acquire this license you must pass a theory exam which includes questions about FCC requirements.

After that the next license, the General radio amateurs license, allows you to operate on the UHF band. In order to get this license you need to take a test on FCC regulations, general radio theory and demonstrate that you can transmit Morse Code at a speed of 13 words per minute.

The Advanced class license opens up more HF band frequencies but you must pass a more difficult radio theory exam.

The highest license you can get for ham radio is the Extra Class license. Extra class license holders are access to the entire spectrum of HF VHF and UHF channels delegated to ham radio. To get this license you must already completed the earlier licencing exams and complete a new, more difficult theory and morse code test..

The American Radio Relay League is a non profit organization that helps amatuer radio operators complete their exams by distributing all the materials you may need.

But if you have better things to do with your time and don’t enjoy examinations, there is an alternative in CB radio. There are no examinations to pass and there is no license to obtain. CB’ers use a more relaxed language and there is noone broadcasting Morse code. Just go get a radio and an antenna and are ready to go. Sound interesting?

Fix Your Registry Right Away To Speed Up Your Computer

Posted in Personal Tech on July 27th, 2010 by contributor – Be the first to comment

“Are there ways to speed up your computer?” My sister asked me when I gave her my Windows laptop. I can’t repair the corrupt registry so I told her that I need to reinstall my Windows XP.

Here are some of the errors we saw:

Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM

Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSOFTWARE

Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): SystemRootSystem32ConfigSOFTWARE or its log or alternate

“How can you fix corrupt registry? She asked me. I can only reinstall and reformat Windows XP, I told her.

“But I don’t like you to reformat this laptop. I have a lot of things here and I don’t like to back up my things ‘coz it takes so long. Is there a way to speed up your computer without reformatting,” she said.

Are you having the same conversation with someone not as technical as you are? Or are you someone not very technical and can easily identify with this story? There are ways to speed up your PC and the way to do it is to repair corrupt registry.

When you have a corrupt registry you can really damage your Windows install. There are times that you can’t even boot up with a corrupt registry. However, if you have a congested registry, you can still boot up and prevent a corrupt registry.

I found a lot of interesting answers when I searched around for information about corrupt registry fixes I learned that I need not reformat my Windows install. I also learned about ARS or Automated recovery System. You will find the automated recovery system free with your Windows XP CD.

All you really need is to boot your Windows XP CD-Rom and copy a few files to a floppy disk. If you have already copied the said important files then you don’t need to do this. Unfortunately there is no automated, one-click way to repair a corrupt registry. You really have to brush up on your DOS commands skill in the Recovery Console.

Fixing the invalid entries in your registry is the best way to avoid registry corruption.

This will not only help you maintain the health of your PC but it will also speed it up significantly. As always, prevention is better than the cure. You can opt to maintain and keep your registry in tip top shape, or you can wait until it becomes a blob of spaghetti and explode into a useless gray mass of steel and silicon.

The registry cleaners that you choose must maintain the proper registry condition. Windows XP is like an old Volkswagen Beetle.  You need to maintain it in order to keep it in shape and ready for action. If you don’t maintain your PC, it will surely be unreliable and conk out on you when you least expect it.

Skins Protect Your Computers And Other Gadgets

Posted in Personal Tech on July 21st, 2010 by contributor – Be the first to comment

Accessories change right along with the technology they are used with. In some cases, they are just fun. In others, they are useful. But the best accessories are the ones that are both useful and fun at the same time. It is great when you have a good excuse for buying them.

Take computers, for example. Computers are no longer a luxury; they are really a necessity these days. Laptop computers, in particular, are extremely popular. What were at first more commonly used by business executives on the go are now used by all types of people. Some college programs are making them mandatory, especially for business degrees.

Naturally, as more people use laptops, there are more accessories for them being made and used. Laptop computer skins are an example of these and they are both fun and practical. You can find them in every style that is imaginable, and even some you might not come up with yourself.

Laptop skins do a great job of protecting your computer cover. They guard it from the dings and scratches that always seem to appear right after you make a new purchase. If you are planning on buying a new Toshiba laptop, you should definitely consider purchasing one or more Toshiba laptop skins to keep it looking new.

There is something for everyone with all the wide variety of notebook skins. If you are sports fan, you can show support for your favorite professional or college sports teams. Or you can promote a movie you love. Or maybe you prefer something a bit more artistic. If you are so inclined, you can really express yourself by designing your own computer skin.

The skins are not that expensive which is great because you can get more than one. If you are a sports fan, for example, you can get one for every season. Or, you can just get a few so that you can change them to suit your mood.

You can also get protective skins for other devices such as phones, MP3 players, iPads, digital cameras and more. In some cases, you can get the same design skin for each one of these. There will be no doubt what team you support in that case.

If you do not have a covering to protect your computer or cell phone, it is almost impossible for them not to get scratched. Skins are not expensive and are a fun way to protect them. They are also accessories that are as practical as they are fun.
