Microsoft Blues

Microsoft Blues

by: Tony Dean

With the advent of กService Pack 2ก for Windows XP operating system, Microsoft have really made the forums hum.

Every forum on computer problems is replete with complaints that since downloading and installing กSP2ก, many ‘third partyก applications don’t work.

This service pack was needed to keep viruses and trojans out of peopleกs computers when they are on the internet, but it has caused a world wide backlash against the software giant because peopleกs favored applications won’t work, or the computer crashes when they try to open them. Many people have said they will buy a Mac or try Linux instead.

What causes all this fury against Microsoft who are only trying to make surfing the internet safer?

Maybe there was an almighty rush to release this service pack before it had been thoroughly beta tested on all applications to see what the issues would be.

The complexity of this service pack is such that you really need to have a degree in I.T. just to set itกs parameters, instead of relying on itกs default settings, before you can successfully use it. It really needed a dvd movie to accompany it to visually show what you had to set before starting up any ‘third partyก applications, but this was not thought necessary because Microsoft were offering free technical support via a free phone number.

Some applications require that you open ports manually, but who would know that without clear instructions?

Some of the applications that need ports to be opened for them include the following: กVisual Studio.Netก, กSQLก, กBackup Exec 9ก, กGhost Server Corporate Edition 7.5ก, กSymantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.0ก, กSMS 2003 Serverก, กCuteFTP 5.0 xpก, กExceed 7.0 and 8.0ก, กKea! 340 5.1ก, กView Now 1.05ก, กMicrosoft Operations Manager 2000ก, กAutoCad 2004ก, กBackup Exec 9.1 4691ก, กWindows Scanner and Camera Wizardก, กCold Fusion MX Server Edition 6ก, กeTrust 6.0.100ก, กNetshield 4.5ก, กIBM Tivoli Storage Managerก …and the list goes on.

Many games won’t work. Games that need กDX9.0cก to run, are not supported by the กSP2ก, so games don’t run.

Virus scanning software by McAfee, Sourcenet, Sonic Wall, Command AntiVirus, either give error messages, or crash the computer.

Most scanners including Umax scanners may not work and give error messages, or continually reboot the computer.

Some of the features of Ebay Toolbar will cease to function. Users of Ebayกs Enhanced Picture Service are locked out.

Applications which may not work are programs that have to contact a server to work at all, some ftp, multimedia streaming software, กnew mailก notifications in some email applications. Some programs reported not working are webservers such as กInternet Information Servicesก (IIS), ‘remote Desktopก, กFile Sharingก.

Many large companies are so concerned about the applications incompatability issues that IBM have notified all staff not to install กSP2ก.

Complaints to ‘third partyก software suppliers are soaring as if it is their fault applications don’t work.

Even ebooks downloaded from the internet are refusing to fully open.

The only way to get these applications to work is to uninstall กSP2ก by going to กStartก then กControl Panelก then กAdd Remove Programsก.

Microsoft, as if to shove the blame on users, have warned that installing กSP2ก on a กspywareก infested machine is a กbad ideaก.

Summing up the proกs and conกs of installing กSP2ก, one forum poster stated it simply:

กWindows XP is incompatable with SP2ก.

5 Proven Ways To Make Your Biz Op Simply Irresisti

5 Proven Ways To Make Your Biz Op Simply Irresistible

by: Sandra Stammberger

At the dawn of the Internet, business opportunities were a new idea. People flocked to biz op sites in hopes of striking it rich online. However, as scam artists and thieves got hold of the idea, the term กBiz Opก became equal with the term กcon artist.ก

As Web surfers learn to tell the difference between hype and reality, they are looking for solid business opportunities that can give them what they need to succeed. Other biz ops are being overlooked.

So how do you structure your biz op so that it stands a chance of being noticed? How do you convince people you have something truly valuable to share? There are 5 proven ways.

1. Make Your Program Free To Join One trait of those seeking business opportunities online is that they have little to no startup money. They also want to ‘tryก your program before making a commitment. For these reasons, you need to offer a กfreetojoinก program.

Give people a chance to see for themselves that your program is valid, and can indeed bring in the results you promise.

2. Don’t Hide Anything Most people have realized that they have to ask, กWhatกs in the fine print?ก From those awful กBusiness in a Boxก deals (where they promise the sun, moon, and stars and deliver none of it unless you pay thousands of dollars), we learned to stand by the phrase กIf itกs too good to be true, it probably is.ก

Don’t hide anything from your prospects. Tell the truth. Outline exactly what their free membership offers, what theyกll have to pay for, what legitimate results they can expect, and how much the whole setup will cost.

When people feel theyกve been taken advantage of, they tend to become bitter and spiteful. Not only are they likely to tell everyone they know about how they were scammed, but they might even go so far as to notify the authorities.

3. Prove You Want Them To Succeed Any business opportunity will กsayก they want their signups to succeed. But very few of them actually prove it. Give your signups more than the other guy gives.

You might consider offering counselors or mentors to help them during the first few months. Perhaps you can open a discussion board or forum where newbies can chat with the old pros. Go above and beyond to show you will stand behind your signups.

4. Offer Support In addition to proving you want your signups to succeed, give them the support they need. Sending a periodic newsletter with helpful information is a good idea. Forwarding articles or information you found on the กNet is another way to be helpful.

Create a กnew signupก package that goes out immediately. Fill it with everything you can think of to help your people succeed… testimonials, best practices, resources, dos and don’ts, advice from others, your own email address so they can contact you. You get the idea. After all, when they succeed, YOU succeed.

5. Encourage Comments As new people go through your system, they are likely to have ideas on what works and what doesn’t. Listen and always encourage comments and ideas! Not only will encouraging comments help your new recruits feel like part of the team, it can also offer you exceptional insights into how to grow and improve your biz op.

People are tired of scams. They want ‘realก business opportunities that actually work. If you structure your biz op so that its primary focus is helping new signups to succeed, you will grow your reputation, your scope of business, your territory, and your profits.

What To Do When Windows Won’t Boot

What To Do When Windows Won’t Boot

by: otis f cooper

When Windows fails to boot it is normally caused by you installing a program or device and it has caused a conflict with one or more other programs.

This will no doubt give you plenty of heartaches if you’re not certain which program caused Windows to not boot up.

If you recently installed a program or application and know where it was installed,you may be in much better shape as for as correcting the error.

Here are common ways to correct the problem of your computer not completely booting up or not booting up at all.

If your computer will not bootup at all,hopefully you have made a good emergency boot disk. You can always make a windows startup disk by creating one from another computer running Windows 98 or Me.Perform the following if your computer won’t BootUp At All.

FIRST……Put your boot floppy disk in the floppy drive and turn on the PC.On some computers, you may have to access the bios and select the Boot priority to your A: drive.

Save any changes and select กStart Computer without CDROM supportก and press Enter.Once you are at the A prompt,type dir c: and press enter.

If your programs and other files are present,try restoring your system Registry by following the steps below.This may repair Windows,the Config. Sys and autoexec.bat files to where the PC may boot up normally.When the files are present,its a good indication of a good hard drive.

SECOND……To correct the problem of your computer not booting up,type in กfdisk /mbrก and press Enter to restore your master boot record.Type กScandisk C:ก to check the hard drive for errors that have occurred. You can also type กSys C:ก to hopefully restore files needed to boot up your computer.

THIRD……If the above procedures fail to repair your computer,you can repeat the first part of step one above and select กStart Computer With CDROM Supportก reinstall Windows.

Making A Windows XP Bootable Floppy

Windows XP users should create a boot disk now by placing a formatted blank diskette in the A: drive, open Windows Explorer to the C:,select Tools,Folder Options ,show Hidden files and and folders,then View Tab.

Now you uncheck กHide Protected Operating System Files (recommended).You will see a warning and click Yes and click OK.Copy the files ntldr,ntdetect.com and boot.ini onto the disk.Remove the disk and label it the Windows XP Boot Disk.

After making your boot disk,recheck กHide protected operating system files and folders (recommended)ก in the Folder Options dialog box.

To use the disk when Windows XP won’t boot,place the disk in the drive,and then reboot,the computer, Windows simply bypass the basic boot files on the hard drive and continue to boot up.

If The PC Won’t Boot Pass Windows

FIRST……If your Operating System is Windows Millennium,turn on the computer and immediately press and hold down the CTRL key.Once the startup options appear,release the CTRL key. Select Safe Mode and press Enter.You are now in Windows limited version.If you know what caused your computer not to boot,you can now either change or delete that program.

SECOND….Repair your Registry by selecting Start,Run and typing กscanregw /fixก and press enter.This will fix any damage done to the Registry. You can also restore your registry which replaces your current registry with an earlier copy that was backed up by your computer.Click on Start,Run and type กscanregw /restore and press Enter.

To repair your Windows 98 Registry,hold down the CTRL key as you start the PC and select กCommand Prompt Onlyก.Type กscanreg /fixก and press Enter and กscanreg/restoreก to restore a previousely saved copy of the Registry.

If you have Windows XP,press F8 after rebooting the PC should Windows freeze while booting up. You can select กLast Known Good Configurationก after rebooting to allow the computer to boot the last backed up files.And you can choose กSafe Modeก to remove any files you know caused the operating system to hang up.

Be prepared when your operating system fail. It would be a great idea to go over this article a few times and print it.Make yourself s notebook and place this and all related articles there.

If your computer fails to boot or begins to become unstable,you can refer to these articles to make corrections that are needed.Learn these steps from your television set with the PC Super Pack at http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com

Be sure to note any changes you make to your Registry and if you’re not sure,its best to find a friend thatกs pc savvy first.Above all,be certain you back up your registry before making any changes and know how to restore as well.

Internet Marketing Idea: Use Internet Marketing to

Internet Marketing Idea: Use Internet Marketing to Sell Network Marketing or MLM

by: Tim Bruxvoort

Experienced Internet Marketers and beginners alike have one thing is common. They need products or services to market on the Internet.

The lack of a good Internet Marketing Idea is often the most difficult problem the marketer is faced with, but it is one that can be solved within a few short minutes from now.

Many marketers spend so much time trying to find ideas for products or services they can create; they miss the obvious alreadycreated opportunities in plain view. The best part of these opportunities is that all the market research and business planning has already been done.

So instead of trying to create that one product or service that leads to a million dollar homerun (and more often than not you strike out), you can quickly set up multiple streams of revenue from several websites. That way if one revenue stream dries up, you still have several more to rely on.

One way to quickly set up a new business is to market products and services from a MultiLevel Marketing (MLM) or network marketing opportunity. These opportunities already have support systems in place so all you have to do is to apply Internet Marketing techniques to sell the product or service.

Since few network marketers know how to use the Internet like you do, you’ll have a unique marketing advantage.

You’ll also have an advantage over other Internet Marketers as well because most of them have a negative view on network marketing. It’s probably not because they experienced anything negative about network marketing themselves, but because they know someone else who is negative on it.

In marketing psychology, they call this กsocial proof.ก If everybody else thinks something, it’s just easier to think the same thing rather than think for yourself. In a lot of cases social proof is beneficial, but sometimes it leads us down a path like sheep to a slaughter.

The network marketing business model itself is very sound so thatกs not what’s responsible for the negative perception some people have. The problem is with the people who are being attracted to network marketing. Those joining typically don’t have any business experience.

But if you target other Internet Marketers, other people with business experience, or you create easy to follow systems for people who have no business experience, you’ll have much more success.

If the network marketing business model itself were flawed, you wouldn’t find a lot of multimillionaires involved in it. But the network marketing group includes top celebrity authors/millionaires who not only advocate MLM, but they are actually doing it. This group includes people like:

Robert Allen, author of Multiple Streams of Income

Mark Victor Hansen, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Warren Buffet, billionaire investor.

So if multimillionaires are doing it, and your goal is to become a millionaire, why shouldn’t you do it too?

If MLM or network marketing is done right, it can be one of the quickest ways to a million dollars. In fact, it is in the top five moneymaking opportunities of all time that people use to create wealth in their lives today. The top five are:

Public Speaking

Real Estate

Internet

Stock Investing

MultiLevelMarketing

Since few people desire to speak publicly, that rules it out for the majority. Real estate and stock investing typically require a good deal of money to get started so that rules them out for a lot of people. But the Internet and network marketing are opportunities almost anyone can get into. And you are in a unique position to apply them both.

We are also in a totally unique time right now. At no other point in history have so many people been looking for their own businesses. The Internet is making it easier for anyone to get into business and have the entire world as a marketplace. And the unstable work environment most people face is driving more people to work for themselves.

So you can put yourself in front of two of the hottest money making trends in the world today: the Internet and homebased businesses.

So by helping other people use the Internet to create their own network marketing business, you’ll be helping yourself to wealth. Then everyone is happy!

Capitalizing On The Autosurfing Craze

Capitalizing On The Autosurfing Craze

by: Keith Gloster

You’ve heard about it in recent months, and its popularity seem to grow in leaps and bounds with each passing day. Paid to surf programs have been on the rise and with the monetary promises that have become the stalwart of their systems, more and more people are joining the bandwagon.

Autosurf programs actually pay you for surfing 40 to 200 sites per day. Don’t let the numbers mislead you though, because this task can be done in less than 15 minutes, regardless of the speed of your Internet connection, through a system that would allow you to surf sites automatically, hence the name.

Think of autosurf programs as cooperatives. Members can advertise and get paid at the same time. Here is an outline of how it works:

You will sign up for the program.

You will be given an initial capital for free, either $5 or $10.

You will be asked to autosurf 150 to 200 sites everyday, before the timer restarts.

For every day that you do your task, you will earn 1 to 2% of your invested capital.

At any time you wish, you could upgrade your membership and increase your capital, so that you will be able to increase your earnings as well.

You will also earn credit points for each day you autosurf. These points are the equivalent of currency in the program’s builtin economy. You could trade these points for fellow members, or exchange them for goodies like free web hosting, banner ads, or ad spots on the windows that appear for every autosurfing session.

A mere user finds autosurfing programs quite lucrative. In three short months, he would have earned back the capital he invested, and every earnings hence would be net profit. Additionally, he could find really good deals for the products and services offered by the program, for as long as he uses his credits well.

An Internet marketer can look at autosurfing programs as free advertising opportunities. Most of the people who participate in autosurfing are on the lookout for moneymaking opportunities online. They are good targets for affiliate programs and the likes. Additionally, the Internet marketer can also earn while availing of the free publicity.

As earlier mentioned, there are a lot of autosurfing programs in existence today, and more are being created everyday. Choosing the right one for your needs, whether you are a marketer or someone who just wants to earn some extra cash, can be a little difficult.

Here are some guidelines to help you choose a reliable autosurfing program:

As much as possible, stick with the programs that have been in existence for the longest time. A lot of the new establishments are offering a higher percentage per session, but you have to study if such a setup is sustainable for them. It would be sad if you’d invest a lot of money on a program that would be gone by next month.

If you want to capitalize on the advertising opportunities that autosurfing programs offer, try to choose one that has many enrollees. You wouldn’t want to spend so much effort in advertising to a handful of users, after all.

Choose autosurf programs the weed out excessive images or bandwidth huggers. Remember, you will have to autosurf everyday, so a program that would pave the way for faster loading of the pages you’re tasked to view would save you a lot of time.

Bear in mind, however, that there is no rule that prohibits you from joining as many autosurfing programs as you like. The more programs you enroll in, the more earning opportunities you will be making for yourself.

Autosurfing has been an Internet staple for a mere three years. It is a relatively new area that marketers can exploit to their advantage.

10 Keys to Creating a Profitable Online Business

10 Keys to Creating a Profitable Online Business

by: Jan Peterson

Starting an online business is not always as easy as it may sound. But, running an online business has many benefits over its offline counterpart. First, and the most appealing, is youกll most likely be working from home from your own computer, and working the hours that suit you. And secondly, you have the potential to make a lot more money than you would if you were working for someone else.

Before embarking on an online entrepreneurial quest for the perfect homebased business, itกs advisable to look at the array of online business opportunities available, and decide which would be the most suitable for you. While itกs quite conceivable, that the most profitable and legitimate type of online businesses can be operated successfully by one person, most involve a collaboration of skills and input.

For the individual, making money online is a very real prospect, but there are some important factors that should be considered before taking that first vital step.

1. Should you sell a service?

Unless you have a welldeveloped skill such as, web design, graphics design, writing or some other creative or artistic flair, youกll have to concentrate on finding or creating a product.

In selling your services, you must first determine whether a paying market actually exists for your services. Initially, youกll need to do some research and look at similar services being offered. A good indicator is usually when there are numerous similar services available. This would suggest a buoyant market, but itกs not always the case. A friendly yet inquisitive email sent to a few established service providers in the business you’re considering, should give you an insight.

Take a good look at the existing competition. Look at the quality of their work. Could you do it better? What prices are they charging? Could you do it cheaper? If you can effectively do either of these you’re on your way to building online wealth.

2. Should you sell a product?

More people than ever buy products online, but the main thing to consider is whether you want to sell a tangible product or a virtual product.

As with selling a service, you must first determine whether a market exists for your product. Look at similar products then decide whether thereกs room for another player. All products will have to be sold through a website, from which an order can be taken and a payment can be processed. If you have the knowledge and necessary skills, you can easily build the website yourself. Otherwise you will have to pay a professional.

A tangible product is something that can be held in the hand, therefore it will also need to be packed and shipped. Processing orders is very time consuming, but more importantly you may have to keep inventory, which can be very expensive plus youกll need to find storage space.

An alternative is to sell virtual products. These include downloadable ebooks, videos and information products. Youกll still need a website with ordering and credit card processing facilities, but you will not need to keep any inventory and it won’t take up any space (except on your computerกs hard drive) Many successful Internet marketers use this method to maximum effect.

3. Selling someone elseกs product

Some of the best online business opportunities are very simple to set up and run. The first of these is affiliate marketing. You simply find some existing products that are being successfully sold on the Internet, and sign up for their affiliate program. Basically, this is straightforward process. You complete an online application form and you’re given a reference number, which you can embed into your marketing links. The host company will also track your sales and pay you commissions. All you have to do is sell their products.

Some people go overboard on affiliate programs, trying to sell anything and everything they can sign up for. Itกs advisable to concentrate on a few related items such as ebooks on a similar subject. When that enterprise begins to make money online, start all over again with a set of different products. With careful consideration and clever marketing, affiliate programs can be the perfect way of making money online. A good place to start is www.clickbank.com.

4. Buying a business or franchise

If youกd prefer to buy a readymade business, there are many to choose from. Some established and profitable Internet businesses will gladly sell you a franchise. This will most likely be a clone of their existing business, but beware! Owning a franchise business on the Internet will prove useless unless you have territorial rights. The problem with online franchises is your limitations on what you can sell. You must sign an agreement with the franchisor, that you, the franchisee will only sell their range of products. Check out the various franchise opportunities at www.usatoday.franchisesolutions.com

5. Online investment opportunities

Not strictly a business opportunity, but investing in real estate or stocks and shares has become big business in itself. The Internet has opened up all kinds of opportunities for investors, and itกs so easy to go online and find stock brokers willing to advise you where to put your hardearned cash for the maximum return. The big consideration with investing is to remember that prices can fall just as quickly as they rise. For all the information you need on investments, visit www.investorguide.com

6. Finding the right market

Whatever service or product you decide to offer your online customers, you must first establish whether thereกs a need for it. If there is, youกll have to work on an effective strategy of getting your product in front of your prospect ahead of the competition.

Itกs been proven time and again that small is big. The small or niche market has been responsible for many people making a nice profit from the Internet. Itกs as well to remember, that a niche market on the internet could number well over a million potential customers. Just 5% of a market this size, each buying a product with a $10 profit margin, would return $500,000 in profits.

A few examples of niche markets might be: Holidays for singles over 40, sports and fashion wear for children 624 months or easy car maintenance for lady drivers.

7. Online Auctions

The phenomenal success of online auctions, eBay in particular, is unprecedented. Not only are the online auction companies making large profits, they give everyone an opportunity to sell something to anyone anywhere in the world. From fashion accessories to collectibles and sports equipment to memorabilia, there appears to be a market, although limited, for everything.

The key to success here is to buy wholesale and sell volume. When youกve got to the point of making good money from online auctions, simply write a book and tell everyone else how you did it. To get started in online auctions, go to eBay, click on wholesale, buy some stock and resell individually back on eBay.

8. Paid Surveys

Some people might not consider clicking boxes alongside questions a valid business opportunity. But if you consider it work, and the survey companies are willing to pay you, then it must be a form of business to be considered. Itกs something almost anyone can do, doesn’t require any specialist knowledge or skill and can be done from anywhere.

The downside is, itกs tedious and won’t make you a fortune. However, itกs the ideal parttime opportunity for people with a few hours to spare or to run alongside a new venture during the กquietก periods. To sign up for online surveys visit: www.surveyclub.com

9. Enthusiasm, Commitment and SelfDiscipline

Looking at the various online business opportunities and how you should evaluate them is only part of the equation for online wealth building. Working for yourself in your homebased business will require real enthusiasm, commitment and copious amounts of selfdiscipline. Whichever route or opportunity you consider, all will require a degree of กdoabilityก.

Be prepared to spend more time at your computer, especially in the early months, building your business and getting your products in front of likely prospects. If you do it right, an online business can pay you big monetary rewards.

10. Accounting the costs

If you plan to set up and run an online business as your main source of income, beware! The tax man cometh! An online business is no different to a bricks and mortar business, in the eyes of the IRS. If you establish an online business and you’re making a fulltime income, don’t forget to inform the authorities. You must have a business name, although this could be your own name, preferably a business bank account and youกll need to inform the IRS.

Youกll need to keep records of all your business transactions for accounting purposes and youกll need to set aside a percentage of your profits to cover taxes. Microsoftกs Excel program is perfect for keeping records of this nature, but don’t forget to keep a backup of your files, just in case. The message here is to play it straight and keep it legal.

Of all the things you should consider, when planning to start an online business, the most important is undoubtedly marketing. Marketing strategies can make or break a business.

Google Patent Application – Highlights

Google Patent Application – Highlights

by: Halstatt Pires

The recent patent application filed by Google details numerous items the search engine uses to rank web pages. The specific application is summarized as:

ขA method for scoring a document, comprising: identifying a document; obtaining one or more types of history data associated with the document; and generating a score for the document based on the one or more types of history data.ข

The patent application sheds significant light for those pursuing search engine optimization with Google. Patent applications can be difficult to understand, so following are highlights that you should consider for your SEO efforts.

Update Your Site

Updating your site is important when it comes to maximizing your rankings on Google. In addition to the manipulation of keyword density and meta tags, the patent application reveals that Google places significant value on how often your content is updated. The more often you update, the timely and relevant your site will appear to Google. In turn, this leads to higher rankings.

To appease mighty Google, consider the following plan of action:

Update pages frequently,

Add new pages to your site,

Interlink the new pages with others on your site, and

Add new pages on a weekly basis instead of all at once.

When Google returns to the site, you want to make sure that there is new content. The high rankings of blog sites are evidence of this approach.

Google’s Looking at Your Domain

In a new twist, Google claims that it analyzes the number of years of domain registration as part of the ranking process. The application suggests that domains that are registered for longer periods of time are given more value because such a commitment shows the site is not a flybynight jump page. It is recommended that you extend all domain registrations for as long as possible as part of your search engine optimization efforts. It is difficult to tell how much the registration process impacts the ranking process, but every little bit helps.

Google claims that it also digs deeper into domain names to evaluate the legitimacy of the site. Factors in the evaluation include the web host and the ขwho isข information. According to the patent application, Google maintains a database of hosts that facilitate spamming of the Google search engine. While such hosts are not detailed in the application, pray to God that you are not using one. You should evaluate your host if your optimization efforts are not producing results.

If your search engine optimization efforts for Google are failing, the patent application may provide answers. Talk about a perfect Ebook!
