Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\MessageSent = "Message Sent" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Always require SMS Delivery notification
If you always want an SMS Delivery notification (see note below!), and are tired of ticking the 'Request message delivery notification' checkbox, set:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: Delivery notifications will depend on your and the recipient's operator network capabilities! Note 2: You can still override this with the regular checkbox.
Show Calendar event text in Week View
If you wish to see a Calendar event's text in the Week View, set the following:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable it again:

For BitPool:
Microsoft suggests the following bitpool values for optimal buffer sizes.
30 - Low audio quality
40 - Medium audio quality
48 - High audio quality
58 - Excellent audio quality
Chose one you like. I think 48 is good enough.
For UseJointStereo: use 0 instead of 1, then you got the real stereo.

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
Disable the SMS Sent notification
If you're tired of the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS/text message, you can disable them:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that the 'Settings' key may not exist in your device, and thus may have to be created first.
Change the SMS Sent notification text
If you just want the "Message Sent" notification to read something different, adjust the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\MessageSent = "Message Sent" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Always require SMS Delivery notification
If you always want an SMS Delivery notification (see note below!), and are tired of ticking the 'Request message delivery notification' checkbox, set:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: Delivery notifications will depend on your and the recipient's operator network capabilities! Note 2: You can still override this with the regular checkbox.
Show Calendar event text in Week View
If you wish to see a Calendar event's text in the Week View, set the following:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable it again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that your event must have long enough a duration to show the event text, and the week view (with its narrow columns) truncates long words easily
Also note that the key "Calendar" may not exist - just create it if it doesn't

Microsoft suggests the following bitpool values for optimal buffer sizes.
30 - Low audio quality
40 - Medium audio quality
48 - High audio quality
58 - Excellent audio quality
Chose one you like. I think 48 is good enough.
For UseJointStereo: use 0 instead of 1, then you got the real stereo.

Tempat mudah download mp3

Banyak sekali teman yang bertanya padaku tempat untuk download mp3 dimana sih? Banyak memang sih kalo kita mencari di situs pencari seperti google misalnya ... banyak sekali.
Nah, yang menjadi perhatian adalah Bagaimana agar dapat mencari dan mendownloadnya dengan mudah, atau sambil kita mendengarkan langsung tanpa mengunduhnya ..
Salah satu situs favorit saya untuk mengunduh dan mendengarkan mp3 adalah di 4shared.



Kita tinggal memasukkan judul lagu atau artisnya. Kalo tersedia, pasti akan muncul banyak pilihan.
Keuntungan lainnya akan kita dapat apabila kita mendaftar atau register. Kita akan bisa menyimpan file atau titip file disana. Makanya tak heran di situs ini bukan cuma mp3 saja yang ada, bahkan beberapa program yang kadang kita butuh, bisa mencoba mencarinya dini.
Selamat mencoba. Untuk langsung mendaftar silahkan klik disini.

Mencoba Peruntungan Lewat PTC

Awalnya aku diajak sama teman yang pada awalnya dia sangat terinspirasi oleh mudahnya mencari uang lewat internet, dengan cara yang mudah dan instan. Hanya dengan bermodal koneksi internet dan sedikit kerja “klik” setelah kita di suguhi berbagai macam iklan yang memberikan janji-janji, akan di bayar ketika kita sudah mencapai limit tertentu. Aku berfikir ini hal yang sangat konyol kalo yang menurutku dengan satu klik kita mendapatkan $0,01 atau lebih mudahnya kita bisa menaksir lebih kurang cepek untuk sekali klik ..

Saya berpikir lagi, ini akan bisa cepat kalo kita bisa mengajak teman atau istilahnya kita bisa mereferensikannya kepada teman-teman kita atau famili kita.

Kalo kita bekerja sendiri, misalnya kita dalam sehari mendapatkan 4 sampai 5 klik, berarti kita dalam sehari bisa memperoleh $0.04 dan untuk mendapatkan payout $3, kita perlu 75 hari kerja.

Tapi tak apalah aku perlu mencobanya.

Dan aku sudah mendapatkan ...

Dan yang menjadikan aku PD, ini bisa langsung transfer ke rekening kita lewat BCA atau Mandiri ..
Selamat mencoba.

Conficker Win32.Kido.CG W32.Downadup.B

Copas dari Detikinet.com
Ardhi Suryadhi

Analis virus dari Vaksincom Adi Saputra menilai, Conficker merupakan virus yang canggih yang cukup cerdas, karena memiliki kemampuan meng-update dirinya dan memiliki satu payload spesial yang sangat menyulitkan pembuat antivirus untuk membuat tools membasmi dirinya.

"Sehingga tak jarang, jika jaringan komputer di kantor Anda terinfeksi virus ini, meskipun Anda sudah banting tulang membersihkan tetapi virus tersebut tetap membandel," ujarnya dalam keterangan tertulisnya kepada detikINET, Rabu (28/1/2009).

Conficker yang dulu muncul pada kasus 'Generic Host Process' error kali ini muncul dengan varian dengan target serangan Windows XP, Vista, semua versi Windows Server. Bahkan, kata Adi, Windows 7 versi Beta pun masih rentan atas serangan virus ini.

Norman Security Suite mendeteksi varian baru virus tersebut sebagai W32/Conficker.DV, sedangkan antivirus lain mendeteksi sebagai Win32.Kido.CG (Kaspersky), W32.Downadup.B (Symantec), W32.Downadup.AL (F-Secure), W32.Conficker.B (Microsoft), W32.Conficker.A (CA, Sophos dan McAfee), Worm_Downad.AD (Trend Micro) dan W32/Conficker.C (Panda).

Ciri File Virus
Dijelaskan Adi, virus Conficker.DV memiliki file yang dikompres melalui UPX. File virus berukuran 162 kb. File virus yang masuk bertipe gambar (gif, jpeg, bmp, png). Sedangkan file yang aktif umumnya bertype 'dll' (dynamic link library).

Selanjutnya file virus yang berusaha masuk akan berada pada lokasi temporary internet. Jika file virus yang masuk berhasil dijalankan, virus akan mengkopi dirinya pada salah satu lokasi folder. File 'dll' inilah yang aktif dan mendompleng file svchost.exe (Windows Server Service) untuk melakukan penyebaran virus kembali.

"Virus juga akan mengcopy file '[%nama acak%].tmp' pada folder '%WINDOWS%\system32' [contohnya : 01.tmp atau 06.tmp]. Setelah menggunakan file tsb, kemudian virus mendelete file tsb," tukas Adi.

Nah, jika sudah terinfeksi W32/Conficker.DV, virus ini akan menimbulkan gejala/efek sebagai berikut:
· Jika varian sebelumnya mematikan service 'Workstation, Server dan Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)'. Maka kali ini virus berusaha untuk mematikan dan mendisable beberapa service, yaitu wscsvc: Security Center, wuauserv: Automatic Updates, BITS : Background Intellegent Transfer Service, ERSvc: Error Reporting Service dan yang lainnya.
· Virus mampu melakukan blok terhadap program aplikasi yang berjalan saat mengakses website yang mengandung string berikut: Ccert, sans, bit9, windowsupdate, wilderssecurity dan masih banyak lagi. Hal ini dilakukan tanpa melakukan perubahan pada host file yang ada. Dengan melakukan blok, dapat mencegah program anti-malware untuk melakukan update antivirus dan mencegah user saat mencoba akses ke situs keamanan.
· Virus berusaha melakukan perubahan pada sistem Windows Vista/Server 2008 dengan menggunakan perintah: 'netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled'. Dengan perintah ini, maka windows auto tuning akan didisable. Windows Auto-Tuning merupakan salah satu fitur dari Windows Vista dan Server 2008 yang berguna untuk meningkatkan performa ketika mencoba akses jaringan.
· Virus berusaha mendownload dan mengeksekusi file (bmp, gif, jpeg, png) yang kemudian masuk pada temporary internet.
· Virus akan memeriksa koneksi internet dan mendownload file dengan menyesuaikan tanggal setelah 1 Januari 2009. Untuk itu virus memeriksa pada beberapa situs berikut: baidu, google, yahoo, msn, hingga ask.com
· Virus akan membuat rule firewall pada gateway jaringan lokal yang membuat serangan dari luar terkoneksi dan mendapatkan alamat external IP Address yang terinfeksi melalui berbagai macam port (1024 hingga 10000).
· Virus akan membuat service dengan karakteristik tertentu agar dapat berjalan otomatis saat start-up windows serta membuat HTTP Server pada port yang acak
· Virus membuat scheduled task untuk menjalankan file virus yang sudah dikopi dengan perintah: 'rundll32.exe .[%ekstensi acak%], [%acak]'

Sukses Install XP di Presario CQ40

Setelah penasaran dan berjibaku selama hampir 2 malam, akhirnya bisa juga XP nangkring Compaq Presario CQ40. Padahal dari sono dikatakan begono:

"HP does not provide Windows XP-compatible drivers for functions such as sound, video, graphics, network connectivity, drives, or other devices and peripherals for these consumer notebooks."

Waduh, .. bisa gak ya .... ? Akhirnya setelah membaca pengalaman dari teman-teman di internet, akhirnya aku memberanikan diri.

Untuk menyingkat tulisan, akan saya rangkum sbb:
Ada 3 tugas utama:
A. Membuat XP installer yang support SATA drive.
B. Downgrade BIOS.
C. Installing drivers.

Penjelasan A.

Awalnya aku juga bingung, kenapa BSOD terus setiap kali mau install, sampai semua koleksi XP-ku kucoba semua, mulai dari SP1, SP2, SP3 .. bahkan yang sudah di modifikasi segala macem tetep gak bisa ... Akhirnya tanya sama oom Google, nemu blog-nya Mas Setya, intinya untuk bikin XP yang support SATA kita kudu siapin:

1. Net framework
2. NLITE bisa juga ambil disini.
3. ICH9 sata driver
Sekarang kita racik,

1. Copy seluruh isi CD XP ke sebuah direktori, misalnya SATA_XP, bisa di drive mana saja (waktu aku bikin, saya taruh di D:)

2. Extract juga ICH9 sata driver

3. Jalankan nLite, dan browsing ke direktori tadi yang kita buat, tunggu sampai muncul detil info windows xp yang akan dibuat, jika sudah langsung next .

4. Next lagi, dan nanti akan sampai pada opsi yang mana kita harus pilih option driver dan Bootable ISO, kemudian Next lagi

5. Lalu tekan insert, pilih single folder dan arahkan ke driver SATA ACHi di folder dimana ICH 9 tadi di extract.
6. Kemudian kita di suruh memilih pilihan lagi dan jatuhkan pilihan pada ICH9M-EM SATA AHCI Controller
7. Pilih YES untuk memulai inject driver sata ke XP driver ..

8. Setelah selesai prosesnya, ada bisa langsung burning ke CD atau kalau sudah ngantuk bisa disimpan dalam bentuk file ISO, yang bisa di burning besok atau besoknya lagi. untuk burning iso, bisa dengan ultra iso, atau winiso atau banyak lagi ..

Proses A, selesai.

Proses B.
Downgrade BIOS.

Proses ini memang harus dilakukan, karena kalau tidak, driver-driver XP pasti tidak akan berjalan dengan sempurna dan banyak menyisakan unknown drivers. Silahkan download di http://www.mediafire.com/?tz9xeejxdgz. Terimakasih buat mas Andy atas tutorial dan link-nya. File sudah bentuk aplikasi, jadi tinggal klik dan klik ...

Proses C.
Donload dan Instalasi driver.
Untuk yang ini saya mendapat link lengkap dari mas Andy dan langsung saja menuju ke http://andy-compuhouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/installing-xp-audio-driver-for-compaq.html. OKE, selamat mencoba semoga sukses.

Compaq Presario CQ40 mungsuh XP

Rasanya sampai "sepet" mata ini, googling kesana-kemari, sms sana sms sini, opo neh yo .. akhirnya ketemu yang lumayan enak disini.

1.http://bambangsetya.blogspot.com/2008/12/install-xp-di-presario-cq40-1808tu.html

2. http://andy-compuhouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/installing-notebook-compaq-presario.html

Lha, mau nulis sudah "sepet" mripatnya, ya akhirnya begini aja deh untuk memudahkan saya jika menemui kasus lagi ...

dan akhirnya, setelah bercengkrama dengan laptop hampir 2 hari akhirnya bisa rampung ni laptop. Walaupun saya sampai sekarang masih ada ganjalan kecil, masih ada yang di pentung tuh ... tapi audio kok sudah bunyi, apa gerangan yach ... ?

Aku juga sudah coba uninstall tapi tetep aja begitu .. kurang driver apa lagi ini ... mulai dari VGA, USB camera video webcam, blutut (bluetooth), wireless (wifi), card reader, LAN network, audio kliatannya sudah semua jeh ...

Oke memang, suaranya benar-benar garing kemrincing .. apa lagi buat njetel dangdut .. (hayyah ... ).

Bagi yang belum sukses, atau punya masalah dalam menginstall xp di laptop yang baru silahkan untuk saling berbagi, semoga semua bisa lancar tanpa ada kendala.

Sebagai catatan, saat yang paling mendebarkan adalah saat mau memulai downgrade bios ... antara ya dan tidak ... tapi denga niat membara dan pantang menyerah, .... klik .... sambil deg-degan .... restart sendiri ... jreng ... muncul juga, alhamdulillah ...

Gambar akhir setelah jadi seperti ini lho ...

Njetel Radio

Jaman sekarang, cara yang gampang sekali untuk menghabiskan waktu luang, salah satunya dengerin radio. Kayak dulu waktu kita masih SD atau SMP blom ada TV berwarna, adanya item putih, apalagi yang namanya internet, belom ada tuh .. masih jauh dari bayangan ... Lha wong waktu SMA kelas 1 aja waktu itu masih pra pentium. Lebih jelasnya tentang sejarah lahirnya prosesor, bisa ke sini.

Lain cerita sekarang, warnet sudah nggedabyah .. dirumah juga sudah bisa online. Mau apalagi .. Lihat Filem atau Video Klip lewat Youtube atau semacamnya. Kita semakin terlena dibuai kesenangan duniawi. Ya to .. (Lha kapan ngajinya ..?)

Nah, bagi yang lagi punya pekerjaan dan tidak bisa "ngelengke" menonton, kini bisa nyetel radio online atau radio streaming. salah satu alamat yang radionya lengkap dan bisa langsung memutar disitu, tanpa bantuan program external, bisa ke alamat http://radiodigital.multiply.com.

Selamat Bernostalgia.
