When watching long streaming online videos I often watch them while I do other things, perhaps even browse other websites. I need something to keep firefox on top!
The problem is the moment that I use another application the focus is taken away from the Firefox window and it goes into the background. This is no good as I can no longer see the video.
I decided to investigate a solution that could keep the Mozilla Firefox window “Always on Top”…
As a web developer my main tool is my text editor, which I use for pretty much EVERYTHING from coding HTML, to PHP to perl. A text editor is an essential part of my day-to-day life.
Meaning I need a text editor that I does what I want, the way I want it.
Today, I am trying to install a “HP Scanjet 7650n”, everything seems okay, until I come to install the software.
As part of the software installation it appears to install a piece of software called “HP Software Update”.
Unfortunately this causes me an error:
Product: HP Software Update — A newer version of this software has been found on your system. Setup will now exit.

If you run cPanel servers, then you may at some point experience this issue.
The problem is when you attempt to visit “http://server.example.com/cpanel” and you get the following message or similar:
The requested URL /cpanel was not found on this server.
The requested URL /whm was not found on this server.
This is a question that I get asked very often.
My response is never very clear, simply because it’s mainly a matter of personal preference.
Open your registry and find or create the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called “MinToTray” and set it according to the value data below.
Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

For years now, for whatever reason I have used WinZip. I don’t really know why I continued to use it for so long as from WinZip 8 onwards, I was under the impression that it was going down hill.
Over the year’s i’ve used other compression formats other than “.zip”, including “.rar” and “.ace”. The problem I soon discovered with WinZip is its inability to allow me to open some of these types of archives.
An ISO image usually refers to an archived copy of an optical disc such as a CD or DVD.
You would usually experience such files if you downloaded a full CD copy of an application or a bootable CD.
Other circumstances are if you would like to use a CD without having it physically in the drive, you can do this by creating a virtual drive, using an emulator.
The general term for software that can do this is called a “disk image emulator”, and there are a few out there to choose from.
First of all for those that don’t know, Windows Genuine Advantage or WGA is a peice of software released by Microsoft to validate your copy of windows when using services such as Windows Update or Download Center.
Due to the fact that these days you are required to keep windows up-to-date it is a good idea to satify the WGA notification.
However, because of the concerns over whether this application is infact a form of spyware due to the data it collects and sends back to Microsoft, also due to the fact that once you have established that you have a (il)legal version of Windows there is no longer any requirement to have the software installed.
Therefore Windows Genuine Advantage Remover software was created.
Once you have run RemoveWGA.exe and rebooted, before long you will be asked to install new Windows Updates. At this point you can simply choose custom on Windows Update, and de-select the Windows Genuine Advantage update, Windows Update will then ask you if you do not want to install this again in the future, you simply select no. This will be the end of WGA, and your windows updates will continue to function as before.
There are many other ways to remove the WGA however this is the most effective.
If you still have questions the Wikipedia has more information about the Windows Genuine Advantage.
