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.

If for some reason some or all files and not showing thumbnails try one or both of the following solutions.

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

This tip could be applied to any kind of Windows Update on Windows XP be it manual update or automatic update.

A failure in updating could happen when you suddenly get disconnected or downloaded corrupted data which happens a lot. And it seems that there is no local check to ensure that the file is actually complete. It just attempts to install the downloaded material even if its not complete. The stupid thing is that even though you try to update again, it just checks the cache, see that its there and won't bother redownloading the files.

---

Therefore when you face such a scenario, you could take these steps to solve your problems:

1. Open Command Prompt by Start -> Run and type "cmd"
2. On the Command Prompt, type "net stop wuauserv". This is done so that you will terminate the windows automatic update service to allow us to delete the cache files
3. Still on the Command Prompt, type "cd /d %windir%" or "cd\windows"
4. Type "rd /s SoftwareDistribution"
5. Thats it, the cache has been purged. Now we need to restart the windows automatic update service again. To do that, type "net start wuauserv"

Or you can use a utility called Temp File Cleaner from ADDPCs.com

There is actually a way to reset the activation period in XP, up to 4 times (120 days). It's not documented very well, no doubt Microsoft don't want it known too much...

{code}rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk{/code}

You can check if it worked by looking In Event Viewer under Application tab, should say you have 30 days to activate.

Cant remove Other People certificates from Internet Explorer and Windows. This can also affect Microsoft Outlook because the certificates installed in internet explorer are system wide.

• START > RUN > CERTMGR.MSC
• It will launch a certificate management tool and you can remove the certificate with it.

Solution 1:

This problem is actually listed in the "common problems" section of the installation instructions, but many users only seem to run into it when they start configuring their site after the initial setup. So here we go again:

This is commonly known as the "whitespace problem".

The error message typically looks something like

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/to/geeklog/public_html/config.php:581) in /path/to/geeklog/public_html/system/lib-sessions.php on line 180

(line numbers and file names may vary). The problem is that many editors seem to add additional blanks (spaces) and/or empty lines at the end of a file when you edit it. This so-called whitespace is then sent to the browser when the file is loaded and interferes with the header of a page that Geeklog tries to send to the browser, often causing problems such as login problems.
 

---

The fix is, obviously, to remove that whitespace from the file. Read the error message carefully. It says "output started at ..." followed by a file name and a line number. That is the file (and line) that you need to edit. Ignore the second file name - that is only a file that included the file that has the whitespace. The first file is the one you have to edit, not the second one.

Since the editor you've been using caused this problem in the first place, you should use another editor to fix the problem and remove the whitespace. See this and this forum thread for some recommendations for editors to use on Windows. Unix/Linux users can't go wrong with vi.

Solution 2:

This error message is commonly seen by programmers starting to use PHP. Understanding why this error occurs will help find the solution.

PHP handles lots of the work of generating web pages for you, without you even having to ask. A web page is composed of two parts, the header and the body.

The header is generally stuff that you don’t need to worry about, is generated automatically, and contains information about the page, the server, related cookies, and so on. The header information is important, but it is not typically seen by the user. Here are some examples:

Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 18:51:59 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.0 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7g
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: text/html

Sometimes programmers want to change some of the header values. For example, if the PHP if generating XML output, the Content-Type should be changed to reflect this. Another common example is in redirecting the user’s browser to a different web page using the Location header element as described in this Tech-Recipe.

The header must come first in the response from a web server and is separated from the body by one blank line. The reason this error occurs is that some part of the body of the web page has been sent to the user already when a request is made to set a header value. Because PHP simplifies many things for you, the problem may be hiding in plain site.
 

---

Here are some guidelines for finding the problem:

 

1. Find the header() statement that is causing the problem. The error must be at or before this line.
2. Look for any statements that could send output to the user before this header statement. If you find one or more, find some way to move the header statement before them. Complex conditional statements may complicate the issue, but they may also help solve the problem. Consider a conditional expression at the top of the PHP script that determines the header value as early as possible and sets it there.
3. Make sure there is no white space outside of the php start and end tags. While a blank line before the <?php start tag may look innocent, when processed by PHP, it will turn into an echo statement printing out a blank line. This is a common culprit.
4. Make sure you FTP program is set to binary mode. If not this can incorrectly upload text files messing about especially with the carriage returns and possibly could introduce whitespace. If this is the case re-upload all files in the new mode.
5. If using joomla, empty all caches + purge sh404sef urls and make sure the live site setting is correct.
