Solution 1:
I found just changed the setting to allow the use of 40 or 56 Bit encryption devices in Windows 7.

NB:

• Make sure that an incorrect password is not cached in windows (check article in wiki).
• If the account in windows has the same username and password this can help.

Solution 2:
I was not able to access [sharename] on ReadyNAS with Windows 7. I found this thread on the ReadyNAS forum which said:

In the Advanced sharing settings page of Network and sharing center, you need to have it set as Work/Home profile. Try

-Enable network discovery
-Turn on file and print sharing
-Turn off password protected sharing
-Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers

The other settings such as encryption I have set as use 128 bit encryption.

So I changed from 40- or 56-bit encryption to 128-bit. Also "Use user accounts" I changed. After a logoff/logon I am able to see [sharename] after giving the [sharename] password.

T3v2 templates provide a main navigation (mainnav block type) which can be configured in the template manager, profiles tab. This tutorial will show you simple steps to load another built-in menu system.

1. Download the attachment file and extract into folder: templates/[your template]/blocks. We have a new block type name "topmega"
2. Open the file (topmega.php) and update your setting (Eg: change the menutype you want to show)
3. In template manager, edit the current layout to show the new block:
{code class="brush: html;"} ... ... {/code}

1. Use a MySQL utility such as phpMyAdmin

2. Open the database and select the table, jos_users . (replace jos_ with hyour own table prefix as appropriate).

3. Select the record for the administrator account - by default this is user 43.

4. Copy and paste the MD5 # below.

1232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3

5. Click Go to save the changes.

6. Point your browser to http://yoursitedomain.com/administrator . Enter the username admin and the password admin in the login box.

7. Once logged in go to User Manager and select the user you have just logged in with using this password and username and change the password for the user to something else. This is extremely important. Joomla! will encode this new password with the MD5 # and SALT encryption automatically.

8. Check all is ok with Front-end access by opening your site http://yourdomainname.com and logging in using the username asdmin and password as you have just set it in the Back-end.

In PrestaShop v1.4, you can use arrows just like the products to rearrange categories.

In PrestaShop v1.3 and below, categories are always sorted alphabetically, unless you add a number prefix like this:

01.Category 1
02.Category 2

PrestaShop will use that number to sort the categories, then remove it so that only Category 1 and Category 2 are displayed.

Alright ladies and gentleman. I've decided to make a tutorial for getting the latest desktop drivers for NVIDIA laptop models to work well
for you. Here's how to proceed. This is for x86. x64 is slightly more difficult due to driver signing enforcement.
You can try to permanently disable this "feature" of Windows 7 x64 by searching Google. Please do not ask me how as I do not use x64 and
don't know. But there is a way. If you can't find it, for x64, you will have to use f8 or similar key to start the machine each time.

---

1) Download the latest desktop driver for Windows 7 and the card that is closest to yours from NVIDIA's website.

2) Extract the installer to C:\NVIDIA - Close installer after extraction. It is not needed now any longer.

3) Find NV_DISP.inf and open it in notepad.

4) Look at the models of cards listed. Choose to edit one that is closest to yours.

5) Open device manager. Right click on standard vga or your video card and choose properties. Details tab. Change drop down to hardware ids. The second line down is of interest here.

6) In the .inf, scroll to the bottom [Strings] section. Again, look for most similar desktop model. Change the beginning part to match what you found in last step 5. For example:

NVIDIA_DEV.0421.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT"

and you have 8400M GT, change it to

NVIDIA_DEV.0426.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT"

7) Now look up higher in the .inf and search for the number you edited. In this case, "0421" will lead you to this line:

%NVIDIA_DEV.0421.01% = Section010, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0421

8) In this line, edit like this and add your particular string from step 5:

%NVIDIA_DEV.0426.01% = Section010, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D

Note the changes made between step 7 and this in red. Do similar for your particular hardware string.

9) Save the .inf (ctrl+s)

10) Right click on standard vga in device manager. Click update driver software. Browse my computer. Let me pick from a list. Have disk. Browse. Find the .inf you just edited and double click on it. Hit ok so it installs.

11) Reboot and rerun the .exe from step 1 until completion, to install the NVIDIA control panel.

This problem might not exist just with intel motherboards but can be applied to any brand.

I have been running Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit for a couple years now on my Dell Precision with 0 problems.  So, naturally I decided it was time to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.

Much to my dismay, after performing a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition I found that it was acting very strange.  Sometimes it would sit for a few seconds when I did simple things like close a window or open the Start Menu.  It was very slow.  Furthermore, the hard drive light was always on and the hard drive was always making sounds.

I knew this had to be a driver issue because the machine had worked flawlessly under the heavy pressures of Vista.  So I started by flashing the BIOS.  That didn’t work.  I tried updating my display drivers and that did nothing.
I decided to see if I needed to update the Intel Chipset driver and it turns out that solved everything.  Microsoft has done a good job of making sure Windows 7 gets all of the correct drivers during installation as all of my other machines have worked flawlessly.

Download and install Chipset Drivers

Unfortunately, Intel doesn’t have any Windows 7 x64 specific drivers: (maybe not so true now)

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2261&OSFullName=Windows+Vista*+64&lang=eng&strOSs=150&submit=Go%21

However, using the Vista x64 drivers did the trick and everything works great now.

Original thread Here if the solutions dont work

After installation, when trying to run the program, a window will briefly flash on the screen, then disappear. The Secunia icon appears in the System Tray, but when I place the cursor over it, the icon then disappears!

The Secunia Officials response to this is here:

• Please try going to C:\Program Files\Secunia\PSI  or  C:\Program Files(x86) for 64-bit systems.
• Locate the "psi.exe" file, right-click it, navigate to the compatibility tab, and place a check in the checkbox next to "Turn of advanced text services for this program".
• Run the PSI again. It should now work
