解決工作列小圖示自動載入問題

我遇到的問題在於右下角的工作列,也就是會顯示你目前開啟哪些程式的地方 ( 通常有音量、網路狀態… ),有些常駐程式開機以後就會自動載入以保護作業系統能正常運作(如防火牆、防毒軟體…)或是某些隨硬體附上的控制程式 ( 如音效卡、顯示卡… ),現在這台電腦距離上次重灌大概也有兩年了,偶爾開機以後工作列只出現一部分小圖示,其他則是消失不見,但程式仍有正常運作,從工作管理員裡面也可以看到,只是沒辦法再次開啟那些程式的GUI ( 如防火牆的控制介面或音效卡自己的音量調整 ),必須利用工作管理員將之強制關閉,重新啟動那個程式後,小圖示會再次出現,也能正常使用它的控制介面,大部分消失的都是防火牆 ( Outpost Free ) 和音效卡的控制程式 ( XFire 1723 ),後來防火牆換成 COMODO Firewall Pro 也有一樣的問題出現,本以為要重灌才能解決,看了參考資料後,稍微更改一些設定,目前開機一切正常,問題不再出現。

解決方法如下:
我的電腦(或是點選 " 開始 " ) -> 網路上的芳鄰 ->
在左邊的 " 網路工作 " 中點選 " 隱藏已連接網路 UPnP 裝置的圖示 "
重新開機以後應該就能正常顯示

這個方法對我來說很有用,參考資料中還有列出其他的解決方案,如果這個方法行不通的話,可以參考那篇文章看看。

解決 0x0000007E 錯誤 (開機出現藍底白字畫面)

首先可以參考微軟的兩篇疑難排解

疑難排解 Windows XP 的啟動問題
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308041/

如何將 Windows XP 設定為在「初始狀態開機」狀態中啟動
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353/


而我的狀況是:

啟動 XP 就出現藍底白字畫面,顯示 0x0000007E error ,請移除新安裝的程式之類的鬼東西,但可成功進入安全模式。
  1. 先拔除新安裝的硬碟 : 沒有用,不是硬碟衝到。
  2. 拆下記憶體清一清,換另一個插槽:還是沒用。
  3. 按照第二篇疑難排解調整系統設定公用程式:沒用,還是進不去。
接著突然看到錯誤訊息中有建議可以更換 Video Adapter ,就靈機一動把原本顯示卡附的官方 Driver 移除掉,重開機,Bingo!可以正常啟動 XP 了,後來到 nVidia 官網去抓最新的 Driver 來安裝,從此相安無事,和樂融融,天下太平~

比較奇怪的是,這顯示卡從一年半以前到現在用起來都好好的,最近也沒裝啥奇怪的軟體或更新驅動程式,問題竟然出在它身上,真讓我始料未及…會不會是微軟更新的錯呢??(顯示卡是Winfast PX7300 GT)

Using MinGW with SciTE On a USB Stick

OS: Windows XP
Required Space: Less than 70 MB
Packages:

1. SciTE ( http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEDownload.html )
2. MinGW packages ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/ )
  • binutils
  • gcc-core
  • gcc-g++ ( optional in "MinGW GettingStart section" ?)
  • mingw-runtime
  • w32api
  • mingw-32 make ( optional )
  • mingw-utils ( optional )
Step 1 - Install MinGW on the USB Stick
  1. Create a directory for install (ex. MinGW )
  2. Extract All the MinGW packages into the directory (there is some strange instructions about " info/dir " in the Install MinGW page , but I ignore them , and still works fine )
Step 2 - Set Up SciTE properties
  1. Extract " SciTE.properties " from the full download version to the directory which stores source codes ( this properties will only take effect per directory, please refer to the comment inside )
  2. append following two lines to the SciTE.properties
command.compile.*.c=../PortableApps/MinGw/bin/gcc -o $(FileName).exe $(FileName).c -std=c99
command.go.*.c=./$(FileName).exe
" ../PortableApps/MinGw/ " is the directory where I install MinGW , as the graphic shown below,remember to change it according to your own condition



Final Step - Start Programming
  1. Use SciTE to open your source code , press Ctrl+F7 to compile (Or select it from Tools)
  2. Bang !! Now you can start programming on most computers :)

[轉貼]如果建築師必須如網頁設計師一般工作

如果建築師必須如網頁設計師一般工作

原著: 未知 翻譯: Ryan Wang (http://blog.pwang.com)

請設計和建造我的房子。我不太清楚我所需要的是什麼,所以你應該酌情衡量。我的房子應該大概有介於二至四十五間臥室之間。請確定在未來我可以輕鬆地 添加或刪除臥室。當你把建築藍圖帶給我看的時候,我才會決定什麼是我想要的。同時,估價的時候要給我各式各樣不同選項的價格表,使我可以看我高興挑選一 個。

記住,你要保證新造的房子成本比我現在住的這間還低,而且你必須改正目前存在於我現住房子的所有缺陷(我現在的房子經過廚房時地板會震動,而且牆壁太薄了沒辦法隔熱防寒)。

當你設計的時候,也特別記住我希望把每年的維修費用盡可能壓低。這意味著你該自行吸收額外材質的成本,如鋁合金,強化塑膠,或複合外牆。 (如果你選擇不用鋁合金,準備詳細解釋你為何這樣決定)。 拜託,建造的時候你要將最新潮的設計和最流行的材料搭配進去。我希望它是用最摩登的創意與點子所創造最時尚的建築作品。不過特別注意,設計廚房的時候記得 要把我祖母留給我的大同電冰箱考慮進去。

為了確保你將建造的房子適合我們全家人, 你必須聯絡我們家每一個小孩以及我的岳丈一家人。我的丈母娘會對房屋的設計很有意見因為她一年會來一次。

你要保證所有的衡量與抉擇是正確無誤的。但是,我仍有權推翻你所做的任何決定。

請你現在先不要用一些無關緊要的小細節打擾我。你的工作是為這個房屋制定總體規劃 - 做大事要想得深遠。舉例來說,在這個時候選擇地毯的顏色根本是無關緊要的。但是記住我老婆喜歡藍色。 同時,在這個時候先別擔心你要怎麼獲得興建房子的資源。你的首要工作是制定詳細的計劃和跟規格。但我預計當我一旦批准這些計劃, 兩天之內你會蓋好房子。

當你設計這房屋時特別給我記住,遲早我會賣給別人。因此,它應該有吸引各種各樣的潛在買家。 另外因為我住家附近的社區鄰居們都對房屋設計很挑剔,你必須保證他們喜歡我新房子的新奇特點。我建議你去看看我鄰居去年蓋的房子,我們超愛那間房屋的! 它有很多我們也想要放在新家的一些設施,例如那個奧運標準規格的游泳池。我相信你可以設計出這樣的新房子而不影響最終成本。

請準備一套完整的建築藍圖。在這個時候實在沒有必要做真正的設計,因為你其實只是在標這個案子而已。不過我事先先跟你說 - 如果我們改動設計而增加建築成本,你將會被追究責任。

你應該很高興能參與這項有趣的工程吧!你也知道,這種可以使用最新的技術和材料並自由自在的設計機會相當難得。 盡快完成整個企劃並且聯繫我!

PS :我的妻子剛剛告訴我,在這封信我給你的那麼多意見她不是很同意。作為建築師,你的責任是要解決這些意見分歧。我過去曾試過不過一直無法做到這一點。如果你不能處理好這件事情,我將不得不尋找另外的建築師。

PPS:也許我需要的不是一間房屋,而是旅行拖車。如果是這樣的話請盡快告訴我。其中最後一點應注意的是:要確保你的估價不超過六萬五千塊台幣。我有一個十五歲的侄子也會設計的房子,他說他可以用三萬兩千塊完成整個案子。

If Architects Had to Work Like Web Designers

Unknown

Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, so you should use your discretion. My house should have somewhere between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final decision of what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each configuration so that I can arbitrarily pick one.

Keep in mind that the house I ultimately choose must cost less than the one I am currently living in. Make sure, however, that you correct all the deficiencies that exist in my current house (the floor of my kitchen vibrates when I walk across it, and the walls don’t have nearly enough insulation in them).

As you design, also keep in mind that I want to keep yearly maintenance costs as low as possible. This should mean the incorporation of extra-cost features like aluminum, vinyl, or composite siding. (If you choose not to specify aluminum, be prepared to explain your decision in detail.)

Please take care that modern design practices and the latest materials are used in construction of the house, as I want it to be a showplace for the most up-to-date ideas and methods. Be alerted, however, that kitchen should be designed to accommodate, among other things, my 1952 Gibson refrigerator.

To insure that you are building the correct house for our entire family, make certain that you contact each of our children, and also our in-laws. My mother-in-law will have very strong feelings about how the house should be designed, since she visits us at least once a year.

Make sure that you weigh all of these options carefully and come to the right decision. I, however, retain the right to overrule any choices that you make.

Please don’t bother me with small details right now. Your job is to develop the overall plans for the house: Get the big picture. At this time, for example, it is not appropriate to be choosing the color of the carpet. However, keep in mind that my wife likes blue.

Also, do not worry at this time about acquiring the resources to build the house itself. Your first priority is to develop detailed plans and specifications. Once I approve these plans, however, I would expect the house to be under roof within 48 hours.

While you are designing this house specifically for me, keep in mind that sooner or later I will have to sell it to someone else. It therefore should have appeal to a wide variety of potential buyers.

Please make sure before you finalize the plans that there is a consensus of the population in my area that they like the features this house has. I advise you to run up and look at my neighbor’s house that he constructed last year. We like it a great deal. It has many features that we would also like in our new home, particularly the 75-foot swimming pool. With careful engineering, I believe that you can design this into our new house without impacting the final cost.

Please prepare a complete set of blueprints. It is not necessary at this time to do the real design, since they will be used only for construction bids. Be advised, however, that you will be held accountable for any increase of construction costs as a result of later design changes.

You must be thrilled to be working on as an interesting project as this! To be able to use the latest techniques and materials and to be given such freedom in your designs is something that can’t happen very often.

Contact me as soon as possible with your complete ideas and plans.

PS: My wife has just told me that she disagrees with many of the instructions I’ve given you in this letter. As architect, it is your responsibility to resolve these differences. I have tried in the past and have been unable to accomplish this. If you can’t handle this responsibility, I will have to find another architect.

PPS: Perhaps what I need is not a house at all, but a travel trailer. Please advise me as soon as possible if this is the case. One last note, make sure your estimate for this plan is no more than $2000. I have a 15 year old nephew who designs houses and he say he can build it for me for $1000.”
