Rundll Errors Explained

Rundll errors are commonly encountered by many computer users. Knowing that the internet is growing at a massive pace on a daily level, and that more than fifty million people are logged in at any moment, many of whom are new entrants to the internet (thanks to the massive infocomm infiltration in developing countries), I shall approach this article in a way that everyone can understand.

Firstly - The Mighty DLL

DLL files are basically system files that are integral to any and all programmes written for the Windows environment. These files are like vast codex's, libraries that contain information, in one's and zero's, keys, codes and data used by programmes for reasons that is specific to its operation.

These DLL's are shared by many programmes, a centralised databank where they can access. Why? Well, if every programme has its own exclusive code and language, they would operate singularly against each other, sharing no information with each other, which would be extremely slow. Windows uses DLL's to run many functions, many programmes, reusing code and instructions within them for speed and efficiency.

For the techie in you, we are concentrating today on the Rundll.exe (16-bit) and Rundll32.exe(32 bit) which are evident in all Windows OS's. These are the tools that Windows use to run functions within shared DLL's - programmes and applications

Rundll Errors - How the Mighty have Fallen

Rundll errors are caused when there is a command line confusion. Basically, this happens when Windows tries to load a dll file that isn't there - unable to locate the dll file a programme is trying to execute. In simple terms, the dll has a set of instructions- which Windows 'listens' to properly launch programmes and application. The problem occurs when there dll file or code within the file is missing, causing an error and possible system crash.

The Causes

Usually, rundll errors are caused by malicious malware and spyware, or even virus files that have infiltrated your computer. These pirate programmes and executables basically take over the files being shared by the rundll applications. Certain viruses change the structure of these shared dll's, transforming code lines or making them totally inaccessible. Trojan attacks insert fake .dll files within the system folder, that then download malicious software that can further corrupt the .dll library.

What happens? Rundll tries to access these files when programmes or applications are launched. The missing code, new conflicting dll instructions or even missing files causes the infamous 'rundll error' message log. It can even lead to total system crashes.

What to do

You can use antivirus and antispyware programmes that can alleviate the situation. They track down all malware and bad software, viruses and delete them from your system.

But that is not effective enough. What about the tracks and damages left behind? A good load of these faults are stored in the Windows Registry.Remember, the registry records everything that happens within the computer. Trojans and malware even, when changing or hijacking dll's, leave their imprints within the registry.

Use a Registry Cleaner

This is the total solution to your problem A good registry cleaner will track down all rundll errors and resolve them automatically.It can identify and highlight the dll errors as well as other errors left behind by malware and viruses, thus speeding up your computer and solving most of your desktop dilemmas.

Xbox 360 Towel Trick Problems

Is your Xbox 360 freezing up? Before you resort to the infamous towel trick to attempt to fix your broken Xbox 360, please take a moment to inform yourself. The Xbox 360 towel trick is only meant as a temporary fix that does nothing to permanently fix the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 towel trick is dangerous! Very few people have had lasting success with this method and you can actually end up causing further damage to your system. I also do not advocate that you blindly follow some random forum poster's advice the next time you notice your Xbox 360 freeze.

Other things to consider before you tinker with your Xbox:

• Opening your 360 voids your warranty
• Sending your Xbox to Microsoft for repairs usually costs $140 if your warranty is out of date
• the towel trick will only further damage your Xbox 360 as time goes on

Why does the Xbox 360 freeze up in the first place?

The Xbox 360 freezes because of a design flaw. They made the cooling unit too small to properly cool the motherboard, causing the entire system to freeze up on even seemingly simple tasks. This can be very aggravating since this is entirely the fault of the design team and nothing to do with the consumer. Hot air just gets recycled around and around in the console, and as a result, it can't help but overheat. Ignoring the problem is just about the worst thing you can do (aside from using the towel trick), and the freezing will only become more frequent. The enjoyment of playing a game is completely zapped away by these unexpected freezes that happen at pivotal moments in the game.

There are several guides in existence as well that promise to show you how to fix your Xbox 360. It is a shame that most of these guides promote unsafe methods that could potentially ruin your Xbox forever.

However, of all the guides that have been written, there are some that provide true content. The highest ranked so far is called Xbox 360 Fixed. It has a fully illustrated guide as well as a 47 minute step-by-step video walkthrough. If you are looking to fix your Xbox 360 permanently and safely, I highly suggest you read the product review of Xbox360 Fixed:

Downloadable PSP Games

One of the most engaging aspects of the PSP is that you're able to download games right from the internet for very little cost. However, the problem is that these games are scattered across an abundance of web sites and it can almost be impossible to know which ones you can trust.

Before you even begin searching, you should know for sure if your particular PSP will run these games correctly or not.

Your PSP has something called firmware that basically controls everything from the hardware to any software, and only some versions will allow you to play the games that can be obtained online. On the other hand, there are ways around this problem if you find your PSP isn't compatible.

If your PSP is new, then it's more than likely you have firmware that you'll need to work around.

There are emulators that you can use, but be aware it's pretty much the same as a PSP hack. Many gamers are using these, and there are quite a few to choose from. However, you run the risk of possibly harming your PSP if you decide to use one.

Once you have determined that the downloadable games will run on your PSP, or you have sufficiently enabled it to do so with an emulator, there is still one more thing you may want to look at.

Your PSP has its own memory, sure. However, it may not have a memory large enough to carry all the games you're thinking of downloading. And seeing that many of the best PSP websites have literally millions of music, games and movies that you can grab for a one time fee, you may want to consider buying a memory stick so you don't have to worry about running out of space!

Downloading...

While you can browse the internet right on your device, it's certainly preferable and much easier to use your actual PC when browsing and downloading games. All you need to do is to connect it with a USB cable so you can transfer the games in whole to the PSP.

This comes in handy especially when your games are compressed or zipped. More than likely, your computer already has a program to unlock and open these files, such as WinZip or WinRar.

So in conclusion, finding and being able to play downloadable PSP games can take a little bit of time as it's imperative that you find the trustworthy and reputable websites to make it a problem free experience.

The tips here will hopefully save you time and some of the headaches that come with getting started. After you get everything set up as outlined above, you'll be playing all your favorite games in no time!

Developmentally Appropriate Practices - Teaching With Technology in Early Childhood

When children come to school in kindergarten you will find they have a large range of computer skills. Some will have trouble just finding an available computer to work at, some will never have used a computer and some will be able to launch the internet and look for their favorite "dot com" web site!

Kindergarten is the perfect age for teaching children how to manipulate a mouse and enhance eye/hand coordination through drawing skills. In many instances students benefit from hearing a story and then extending the story by a response on the computer through drawing and typing a few words.

Beginning typing skills at this age simply include finding the letters, learning how to capitalize, and adding ending punctuation.

When thinking about having young children draw with the computer it is vitally important to keep developmentally appropriate practices in mind. For instance, if you want a child to draw a "hand turkey" on the screen then be sure that he has made one before by tracing around his hand and coloring it in. Gage their experiences with initial discussion. If there are children who appear to not have experienced this, then back up and make the concrete model. When asking a child to do this electronically, I find that the best way is to have him hold his non-dominant hand on the computer screen while using his other for drawing with the mouse.

Another developmentally appropriate practice includes practice. During the first interaction, give support and help the child and then when she returns for the next computer class or independent work time, then she can create the project without assistance. An example of this is in trying to draw overlapping circles to form a snowman. Show them how, hold their hands on the mouse while they try, and then let them try alone. By scaffolding the computer instruction in this manner children will find success. I often find that when giving free choice time when they've competed an assignment, the children will choose to retry a project we've done previously.

Some of my favorite projects with kindergarten include drawing characters from literature, their families, snowmen, penguins, and constellations. I often print the projects in color and staple to construction paper to make every piece seem special.

Sony PS3

The new PlayStation 3 is the third home video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment and is a successor to the PlayStation 2 as part of the PlayStation series. This model game console comes to compete with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

Sony launched its third version of PlayStation first on November 11, 2006 in Japan, on November 17, 2006 in North America and Asia, and Europe. The Sony PS3 is capable of playing back content from a Blu-ray Disc(BD) at a rate of multiplex 48Mbps, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards. It is the third generation of the Sony PlaySation that is making waves now.The official unveiling of the Sony PS3 to the public was held on May 16, 2005, during the E3 2005 conference. A functional version of the system was not present there, as a working system was not readily available due to power failures and hardware problem. On September 6, 2006, Sony declared the delay of the launch of the PlayStation 3 until March 2007 due to a shortage of diodes used in the Blu-ray Disc drive.
Later, the release of the PlayStation 3 in Japan was held on November 11, 2006. The PS3 from Sony created a record by making a sale of approximately 600,000 units in its first two days of launch in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Sony later announced that the 80 GB PlayStation 3 would be launched in South Korea on June 16, 2007, in one configuration featuring an 80 GB hard drive. It was for the first time that the Sony PS3 was released with an 80 GB hard disk.

Sony discontinued the 20 GB PlayStation 3 model in North America on September 2007. It was after citing "lack of consumer demand" although the 20 GB model is still on sale in Japan. It is widely speculated that the removal of the 20 GB model from the North American market was to save manufacturing costs, as there is a difference in cost between the two aforementioned models of around $30.

Warning - You Have Been DataMined!

It affects hundreds of millions of us each day while we are blissfully unaware.

Today's high-tech world is drowning in data but is starved for knowledge. Data mining is the search for significant patterns and trends. It's also been called the poor stepchild to statistcial analysis.

To give you an example you go to your local supermarket to buy food and you use your store card for discounts and fast checkout. It give the store a record of how often you shop, what foods you like and at what prices in this case it's a win-win situation. This continues thoughout your day as you bank go to the mall, gas station, and so on.

However information is increasingly collected without your knowledge or consent. "Black Boxes" the size of cigarette packs have been installed in 40 million vehicles to monitor speed, seat belt use, and more. Only 5 states at the present time require that the buyer be made aware of this fact.

The trade-off is somone has a record of when and where you drive,what you eat, what over the counter medications you buy,whether you smoke or not,where you fly and with whom, what you like to read and watch and spend money on.

Any one item is not invasive but when birth certificates, credit histories, real estate deeds, military records, and insurance claims are pulled together it paints a very intimate picture. Add to the mix that the average person is seen by surveillence cameras 75X a day.

In the past decade an explosion of technology has taken place and the insatiable appetite of marketers for information about consumers has made data collection less voulutary and more worrisome.

Data mining is big business. Companies vacuum up data from public and private records, aggragate it analyze it and sell it to buyers ranging from private companies to the CIA. If an error exists there is no knowledge on your part thus it can't be fixed.

Data thefts are on the rise included are banks, credit card companies, and the biggest of the data brokers Choicepoint.
When their records were breach they left millions of people vunerable to identity theft.

In closing technology is here to stay and we love convience but we must be aware and remain vigilant. Also it's time for Congress to step up and do their job to create a basic bill of rights for all information. This will provide us with much needed protection.

LiveScience.com - A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds. The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out. The new research found that cells lining mice's blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents' blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). ...

Technology Can Ease Your Life!

I wake up on a Monday morning, with a to-do list buzzing in my head. I'm hoping to get some really solid work done through the week - like finalizing the strategic plan for the next year, initiating meetings with financiers, and oh yes, finally preparing a vision document... that's been in the making for the last few years, because I never got around to it.

I trudge back late Friday evening, weary with the activities of the past week. Funnily enough, I can't recall what I've achieved (am not sure if a longer to-do list counts!), but am tired as hell.

Sure, that's a familiar story - but we're about to give it a happy ending. With so much technology at hand, the life of the business owner just got simpler. Read our suggestions on how to ease your life.

Get the right hardware. You might not believe us at first, but juggling between different, stand alone computers can really eat into precious action time. Think of the sheer effort involved in making back up copies of documents on individual CDs, cataloguing them and putting them someplace safe. A server will ease your life by allowing quick access to files stored on different machines. If you haven't got one yet, it's time to enter the twenty first century!

Follow that up with software. How many checks do you sign in a day? If you don't have adequate accounting staff, are you reviewing the bills, making the vouchers, updating the accounts yourself? No wonder you have no time for anything.

Accounting software packages not only automate the bill payment process, but can also generate invoices, track late payments, put out alerts, generate reports and so on.

Similarly, payroll management software can be a real help when you have a large number of people working for you. A comprehensive package can ease your life by managing scheduling, keeping track of hours worked by individual employees, maintaining the attendance register and more.

You can also issue a mandate to your bank to pay out routine bills for utilities, salaries and so on by debiting your account. Think of all the time, energy and paper saved!

Put your website to good use. Don't have one yet? Well, get one as soon as you can. A website can save both time and money and ease your life in the process. If you're attending to a number of routine customer queries, direct them to the FAQ section on your site. If you're wasting time screening a pile of resumes, ask candidates to apply online instead. By building in filters on your website, you can make sure that only the relevant ones come up for perusal.

Also consider completing as many activities online as possible - this includes managing your bank accounts, filing taxes, placing orders and so on.

Pick up the phone! Yes, you heard us right. Pick up the phone, but for the right reasons. If routine review meetings hold up other activities, because you're not physically present to attend to them, switch to a tele or video conference. It's a fact that physical meetings waste a lot of time - so if you have to meet with a known group of people to discuss regular issues, do it long distance instead.

While all of the above technologies will ease your life, we'll leave you with a little warning. It's equally easy to fall prey to them. Make sure the "new message" alert in your inbox doesn't distract you during a meeting... or checking your voice mail doesn't become an obsession. A lot of the really important things you need to do at work require your time and attention and not technology to get done. Set aside some part of each day when you unhook all your gadgets and plug in your mind. Friday evenings will be a lot happier, we assure you!

Blu Ray Technology History

Blu-ray is a new optical disc standard based on the use of a blue laser rather than the red laser of dvd players. It is not just a format for high-definition video and audio, it's a higher-capacity disc format. This format is currently supported by more than 180 of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies.

Blu-ray players capable of showing picture-in-picture - a feature called "bonus view" - have only just started to appear. The discs will not play on current cd and dvd players, because they lack the blue-violet laser required to read them. The disc players (BDPs) are available from a number of manufacturers, including Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung and Sony.

Sony led the fight for blu-ray dvd players. Sony is a rare company that may actually benefit from it's success, mainly because higher production of the players could reduce component costs for the playStation 3, driving improved profitability for Sony's all-important video-game unit. Also adding to the momentum was the gradual increase in sales of Sony's playStation 3 home video-game console, which also works as a blu-ray player.

Blu-ray delivers crisp, clear high-definition pictures and sound, which are more detailed and vivid than existing video technology. Like the rewritable dvd formats, blu-ray uses phase change technology to enable repeated writing to the disc. It has has already won backing from major Hollywood studios, such as MGM Studios, Disney, and Buena Vista,as well as top technology firms like Dell, LG, Samsung and Phillips amongst others. But the absolutely genius part about Sony putting PS3 games on blu-ray disk (and they know this and planned it all along) means that the disk production ramped up very quickly to high volumes, thus softening the blow of the higher manufacturing costs of the new technology. Although the disc specification has been finalized, engineers continue working to advance the technology.

The next generation of dvds will hold high-definition video and sound. Likewise, consoles rely on single discs, so dvds that can hold six times more data mean much better,high-resolution games. Basically, blu-ray is a newer format of dvd with superior visual quality and storage space compared with standard dvds. While it is not compulsory for manufacturers, the Blu-ray Disc Association recommends that the disc drives should be capable of reading standard dvds for backward compatibility.

Entertainment decided to release movie discs only in the blu-ray format, joining Sony Pictures and Walt Disney Co. Blu-ray is the next-generation digital video disc. The next-generation dvd format blu-ray is winning more supporters than its rival, according to its backers. Just a few short weeks into 2008, blu-ray is now the dominant player in the game.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - The Most Accurate Physics Yet Seen In A Racing Simulator?

Racing has always been a strong passion of every guy out there, it even appeals to girls. The need for speed is something all car lovers have, the exhilarating emotion of racing against several competitors to the rhythm of your favorite tune can sure take things to a whole new level.

Racing games have undergone quite a few changes in the past decade, the early versions of "Need for Speed" were quite popular because this game introduced quality racing to computer systems and stand alone consoles. Later on more racing games emerged which had a few innovations but failed in several aspects, "Gran Turismo" is one of the games which needs to be mentioned because it was created to be the best car racing simulator ever.

Changes in technology have taken this game from earlier versions to what it is today, Gran Turismo 5. GT5 is a high definition game which is shipped in Blu-Ray format for PS3 consoles, the detail level is amazing, this is really as close as a player can get to the real thing, but besides the visual effects the technology and physics involved in the game is so remarkable it needs to be mentioned, the physics engine allows you to handle your car just like you would in real life, the response and performance of each of the vehicles used in this game is also incredible, however there is little DLC or no car damage. Developers of the game responded to several questions regarding this matter but they said that since the game is still being developed the Prologue version won't have car damage, because designers are very picky when it comes to this game they want to make sure that when "damage" is introduced they will do it as realistic as possible, just like they did with the physics engine which powers the game.

As far as the amount of cars featured in the game there is quite a few discussions being held because it is said that the game will ship with 60 vehicles and 14 tracks, others claim that GT5 will have around 340 vehicles at launch out of the 10,000 projected vehicles, yes! you read that right and it has been said that the game can even be expanded with several other vehicle models which can be bought by individual clients from Polyphony Digital. The projected lists of car models found in GT5 is amazing, you can literally find anything you want in there and with the expansion capabilities the sky is the limit.

When it comes to system requirements, Gran Turismo 5 (Store version) requires around 2.2GB of disc space but the Blu-Ray version might bring this number down. The demo of this game was launched in Japan during October, 2007 and it only featured the Suzuka race track along with 7 cars. If you are wondering what the "Prologue" in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue means, it is there as a self- reference to GT4 Prologue which was launched before GT4 for PS2, of course things have changed for the better since previous versions.

The multiplayer online interface is awesome, players will be able to compete against 15 other racers which certainly takes things up a few notches from the previous Gran Turismo HD. Along with GT5 players have access to "Gran Turismo TV" channel through PSN to keep racers updated with motor sport news, talk about added value. If you like the videos you have seen then hold on to your seats because Sony announced that this is just the beginning since the full version of Gran Turismo 5 launches in 2009.

Make Money From Video Games

There are a million people out there on the Internet trying to make money. You will come across many scams. The biggest scam that is most common today is people who offer guides for purchase and they promise that the guide is packed with all of the information you need to get started with your gaming career. People make millions of dollars scamming others like this and you won't really get any information. They might even promise unlimited jobs that pay hundreds of dollars an hour and honestly, its garbage. Don't pay for any guide that promises you to be packed with the information you need to be successful. If people really want to share their success then they would share it. These people aren't really successful from what they are claiming, they are successful with their scam and how good they are at being dishonest.

When you are a gamer for money you need to take it seriously. This might sound silly because you are playing video games but it is serious. If you are going to make a living from this then it is your profession and you need to treat it as your profession. You need to be reliable and make contacts with all of your job offers. You should not wait for days to respond to leads. Be responsive immediately and let people know you are professional and willing to test video games for money. You build your own online reputation and if you are not reliable then you might find that no one wants you. Guess what. Word-of-mouth travels faster on the Internet than it does in person and video game businesses talk. If you are not professional and you don't take game testing seriously then you won't be taken seriously.

When you are a video game tester you need to be able to test many games on different platforms. That is the entire purpose of quality assurance. A company is going to want to choose you to test their games if you have many different gaming consoles. This is because you will be able to give the best feedback about their games. If you can test a game on an Xbox 360, a Playstation, and a Nintendo Wii then they know which platforms have glitches and which platforms work really well.

If you like to play video games then you might consider playing them for money. There are many things to think about as a game tester though. You should take the game testing seriously and be very professional. You should also own as many gaming platforms that you can so you can give the companies the best feedback. You really can make a lot of money online playing video games from home if you do it right.

Tom Clancy Splinter Cell - Game Review

Endorsed by the famous American author, Tom Clancy Splinter cell is a series of blockbuster videogames. The series has in fact been so successful that it actually spawned a series of novels, written by Tom Clancy himself, under the pseudonym of David Michaels. As a brand Splinter Cell, is owned by Rubicon, which belongs to Tom Clancy himself.

The plot never changes much in the games. The world is under threat by a group of terrorists who are planning an attack using deadly WMDs (weapons of mass destruction). The hero Sam Fisher, a highly trained secret agent of the Third Echelon is sent to prevent this from taking place. The missions range from eliminating/capturing terrorists to gathering intelligence. Unlike other single person shooter games where the player has the liberty to go crazy with his submachine guns and mow down whoever comes in his path, in the Splinter Cell, stealth is the only thing through which a mission can be completed.

Killing any civilian may result in mission failure, and terminating enemy units using your noisy primary weapon, will make the mission more difficult as guards may arm themselves and start patrolling the area. In the first two games Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow an alarm goes off if Sam Fisher or one of his victim is spotted by the enemy. In these two games the missions ends prematurely if a certain number of alarms are triggered. The third game Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, features a better system in which for every alarm triggered, the enemy moves up to a higher level of vigilance. For example if you have inadvertently set off the forth alarm, enemies will stat manning all entrances and fortify all major positions and then wait for you.

The smoothest way to move forward and complete the missions is remain invisible. If you can bypass a guard without killing him then that's exactly what you should do. Sam Fisher is not Rambo; he's a modern day Ninja. He's has all the cool Ninja moves and you the player, has to use those moves to remain undetected till the very end of the mission. Splinter Cell can't be won by playing it Rambo style. A number of stealth games have claimed that their games actually force the players to use their brains rather than their guns. However, Splinter Cell is the only game that has actually managed to do this.

In Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow a new multiplayer mode has been introduced, which pits two very differently armed teams against each other. In Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory this mode is further evolved and a new co-operative mode is introduced, which features a number of slick moves which can be performed when both players act as a team.

In Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, a new morality factor is introduced. In this game Fisher acts as a double agent and gets himself recruited by a terrorist group. Now Fisher has to fulfill conflicting objectives between the terrorists and his superiors. For example you might be assigned by the terrorists to assassinate a person, while instructed by the Third Echelon to prevent the assassination from taking place. Fascinating isn't it.

So if you haven't already played any Splinter Cell game, now is an excellent time to start.
