Rebooting After XP SP3....Optimize..PC... series contd.

How to Fix Computer Continuously Rebooting After XP SP3 is installed
Stop Error 0x0000007E After SP3 is installed
I've had a few computers that will not boot correctly after I've installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 on them. The computer finishes the install and then prompts for a reboot. The computer will start to reboot then give a BSOD Stop Error for a second and reboot again. This process will continue unless the computer is started in Safe Mode. In Safe mode the computer boots correctly and everything seems fine.

This problem only appears on some systems after upgrading to SP3. This particular problem on systems that have been prepared with SysPrep. The sysprep image was created on an
Intel based computer, and then the sysprep image is deployed on a Non-Intel system such as an AMD processor.  In these cases, the registry entry for Intelppm is incorrectly set and causes the computer to go into a continuous reboot after the service pack has installed.


How to Solve This Problem?

Follow these steps to resolve this issue with the computer not booting correctly after SP3 is installed.

1) Start your computer in
Safe Mode.

2) Click on Start, Run, and type
REGEDIT and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.

3) Click the pluses(+) next to the following registry keys to navigate to the correct spot.
  •  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • SYSTEM
  • CurrentControlSet
  • Services
  • Intelppm
4) In the right hand column find the entry titled START and double-click on it

5) Change the number to 4 and click Ok

6) Close the Registry Editor

7) Shut down your computer and restart

This time the computer should restart normally and finish the installation of SP3.

SETUP YAHOO! MAIL...Optimize..PC... series contd


HELPPCONLINE KNOWLEDGE SHARING


Setup Yahoo! Mail in Outlook Express
To create a new email account in Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu, and click Accounts.
A window will open, and show all email accounts (and other account types) you may have previously setup in Outlook Express. Click the Add button on the right, and choose Mail from the menu that opens.

Outlook Express' Internet Connection Wizard will open and ask for a "Display Name" - type your name as you would like it to appear to recipients when you send emails from Outlook Express using your Yahoo! Mail account.



After typing your Display Name, click the Next button.
In the following screen's text box, type your full Yahoo! Mail email address in the form "userName@yahoo.com" - double-check your email address for typos, and click Next.

Yahoo! Mail Email Server Settings for Outlook Express
Here are the mail server settings you need to setup to enable Outlook Express to connect to the Yahoo! Mail Service:

- Type 
plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com  under "Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server"
- Type 
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com  in the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server" textbox

Your Yahoo! Mail server settings should now look exactly like the screenshot below:


Click the
Next button to finish setting up your email account.
In the final screen of the email account setup, Outlook Express collects your Yahoo! Mail user name and password. Enter again your full Yahoo! email address in the form "userName@yahoo.com" and type your password.



Outlook Express automatically checks the "
Remember password" checkbox: this means that you will not have to re-type your password every time you need to check your Yahoo! emails. If you uncheck this box, Outlook Express will ask for your Yahoo! Mail password as needed: this option can be useful if you are using Outlook Express from a computer accessible by other people.
Finalizing the Yahoo! Mail account setup in Outlook Express
We are just about done setting up Yahoo! in Outlook Express: a few more settings remain to be configured manually. Now that you are back in front of Outlook Express' Internet Accounts window, select the Yahoo! Mail account you just created, and click Properties.


From the account properties window, select the Servers tab; locate the bottom section labeled "Outgoing Mail Server", and check the My server requires authentication checkbox:

Port Number Settings for Yahoo! Mail
Now select the Advanced tab. Under Server Port Numbers, type 465 next to Outgoing mail server (SMTP), and type 995 next to Incoming mail (POP3). The top portion of your advanced tab should now look exactly like this screenshot:

To make sure your Yahoo! Mail emails are available from anywhere you read them, check the Leave a copy of messages on server checkbox: this instructs Outlook Express to only download a copy of your Yahoo! emails, and leave a copy available on the mail server. This way, the emails downloaded by Outlook Express are still available from any other copy of Outlook Express that connects to this email account, and also available for anyone (yourself included) who logs on to this Yahoo! Mail account from a web browser.
Successful Yahoo! Mail Setup!
You have successfully completed setting up your Yahoo! Mail email account in Outlook Express!

Look at your inbox: Outlook Express should have already started downloading your Yahoo! emails. You will now be able to read and respond to your Yahoo! emails both from a web browser, as you did in the past, or directly from Outlook Express, along with any other email account you may already have setup in Outlook Express in the past.

E-Mail Stationery...Optimize..PC... series contd

HELPPCONLINE KNOWLEDGE SHARING



E-Mail Stationery in Yahoo Mail with Outlook Express
You can configure Yahoo Mail so that Outlook Express can be used to send and receive messages on your Yahoo Mail account. When you do this you are still also able to access your Yahoo Mail account online (via your web browser.)
Accessing a Yahoo Mail account through Outlook Express has a number of advantages:
*       You can keep a large amount of e-mail without overflowing the storage available to you at Yahoo.
*       You can read your messages "offline". I.e. you can read them while your computer is not connected to the Internet.
*       E-Mail stationery will work. Most e-mail stationery uses "scripting", which is not supported by Yahoo Mail online (when you use Yahoo Mail in your web browser.) When you view the same messages in Outlook Express instead, you can see them as intended.
If you already access your Yahoo Mail account this way, and you are not seeing received stationery correctly in Outlook Express, please click on one of the following links for more information about your version of Outlook Express:
To set up your Yahoo Mail account for use in Outlook Express:
Go to your Yahoo Mail account online in your web browser.
Click Options
Click Pop Access & Forwarding
To Sign Up, you'll have to agree to accept e-mails of special offers from Yahoo. Select the categories of offers you are willing to receive, then click Finished.
Use the defaults on the next screen ("Web and POP Access", and "HTML Messages") and click Submit.
Now you will be at a page which is titled "Pop Configuration". You might want to bookmark this page and/or print it, in case you ever reinstall Outlook Express. Near the bottom of this page is a link titled "Configuring Microsoft Outlook Express". Click that link and follow the instructions there to finish the setup.
After you finish the above setup you will be able to pick up and send Yahoo Mail messages using Outlook Express.

To get POP3 mail access with the standard Yahoo email account you need to sign up as a Yahoo! Delivers member (currently February 2004 free). Once signed up you then need to enable POP3 access and mail forwarding. You will find both options on the mail options page of your mailbox. The procedure is as follows:
If you are not signed into your account, you can check your status or become a Yahoo! Delivers member by doing the following:
  1. Sign into your Yahoo! Mail account.
  2. Click on Mail Options on the top right-hand corner.
  3. Click on Yahoo! Delivers on the Options Page
  4. Click Yes!, please enrol me in the Yahoo! Delivers promotional program..
  5. Fill out the rest as you desire, then click the button, Finish.
Once you have completed these steps, click on POP3 and Forwarding Status on the Options page to continue with your registration for these services.
-------------------------------------------------
If you do have POP3 access then proceed as follows:
Once POP3 mail access has been enabled you then need to configure Outlook Express. To configure you will need to know the names of POP3 and SMTP severs. This varies depending on region. e.g. the POP3 server for USA users is POP.mail.yahoo.com and for UK users it is POP.mail.yahoo.co.uk . The following uses USA servers, for users in other regions just modify the POP3 and SMTP server addresses, if in doubt consult MailOptions- Help.
The following information is required to configure your Yahoo email POP3 account:
Incoming mail (POP3) server: POP.mail.yahoo.com (USA customers)
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Account name: Your Yahoo! Mail name (your address without @yahoo.com)
Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. The procedure is as follows:
  1. From the Tools menu, choose Accounts.
  2. Select the Mail tab.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. From the Add menu, click Mail.
  5. In the text box labelled Display Name, type your name and click Next.
  6. In the Email Address and the reply address box , type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include @yahoo.com) and click Next. ( for more details on these addresses see my how to set up email addresses article)
  7. Under My incoming mail server is a... select POP3.
  8. Type POP.mail.yahoo.com in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP4, or HTTP) Server box.
  9. Type smtp.mail.yahoo.com in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.
  10. Click Next.
  11. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the @yahoo.com).
  12. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
  13. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the Remember password box.
  14. Do not check the boxes labelled Log on using Secure...
  15. Click Next.
  16. Click Finish.
Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:
  1. From the Tools menu, choose Accounts.
  2. Select the Mail tab.
  3. Double-click the account labelled POP.mail.yahoo.com
  4. Select the Servers tab.
  5. Check the box next to My Server Requires Authentication.
  6. Click OK.
To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:
  1. From the Tools menu, choose Accounts.
  2. Select the Mail tab.
  3. Double-click the account labelled POP.mail.yahoo.com.
  4. Select the Advanced tab.
  5. In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check Leave a copy of messages on server if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express. If you want to access your email from both the Outlook Express client and the Yahoo web based client then you need to leave a copy of the mail on the server.

Done! You can now access your Yahoo mail using Outlook Express.


·  Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)

HELPPCONLINE KNOWLEDGE SHARING



UTorrent Settings.
This is a walkthrough on how to setup µTorrent for your particular internet connection. It is recommended that you follow these steps in order, since the guide assumes that previous settings have been enabled.

Testing your connection speed
Since you will always be uploading at your maximum speed, torrent clients need to be configured according to maximum upload speed in order to avoid choking your connection. So you will need to test your connection:
1.     Stop all internet traffic before proceeding with the test, including µTorrent.
2.     Visit one of the following test sites:
o    DSL Reports hosts a listing of Java-based North-American testing engines you can use.
o    A Beltronica Telecom hosts a multi language testing engine which using ActiveX controls. Beltronica also provides many international testing locations.
o    testmy.net hosts another great testing service, with both download and upload-only speed tests.
3.     Perform the test several times. Select a good median result (neither the highest nor the lowest).
4.     The value needed to proceed with the configuration is the upload speed (or upstream, or up-speed) expressed in kilobits per second (kbits, or kbs, kb/s) not kilobytes (kB, kbytes, etc).

Setting µTorrent for your speed
1.     Go to Options > Speed Guide
2.     Select the listing closest to your upload speed result (rounding down as necessary)
3.     Higher settings will not give you better speed, and may in fact make download speeds worse. Too low of an upload speed will give the same result. So don't try to be greedy.
4.     Click the "Use Selected Settings" button at the bottom of the Speed guide window.

Tweaking the upload speed
The Speed Guide is great for setting up a variety of variables but it does fall short if your test speed falls half way between two of the possible speeds listed.
1.     Take your upload speed result in kbit/s and divide it by 8 (you now have your result in kBytes.)
2.     Take your speed in kByte/s and multiply it by 0.7 (this now gives you a proper upload speed of 70% of you tested max)
3.     Go to Options > Preferences > Bandwidth and put your result in the "Maximum upload rate" box.

Enabling Protocol Encryption
Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) actively interfere with P2P activities in order to reduce their bandwidth requirements. This causes µTorrent and other file sharing download speeds to become slow. To avoid this, µTorrent and other clients have introduced an encryption protocol to prevent ISPs from identifying BitTorrent traffic.
  • Go to Options > Preferences > BitTorrent. Set Outgoing under Protocol Encryption to Enable, check "Allow incoming legacy connections".
Some ISPs have extremely aggressive throttling methods and for those users it might be necessary to set outgoing to Forced; however this will greatly reduce the number of peers you can connect to. Enabled is sufficient for most users.

Authorizing µTorrent in your firewall
People using the Microsoft Windows XP/Vista firewall:
  • Go to Options > Preferences > Connection, check "Add µTorrent to Windows Firewall." This is enabled by default.
People using other firewalls: You will need to refer to your software's own documentation.

Trying it out
µTorrent should now be set properly for your connection. You can test your speed with any torrent of your choice. Here are a couple of torrents that are particularly good for testing your connection:
  • Slackware, one of the many Linux distributions, is great to test since it is hosted on dedicated servers. It will max out your internet connection within a few minutes (10-15 on average).
  • Open Office is a free, open-source, multi-platform, multi-language office suite. Like Slackware, it will max your connection very quickly, not to mention being a useful application to have around.
You don't need to download the entire torrent. You can leave it running just long enough to reach your maximum download speed.
If you are behind a router, then you will also need to follow the instructions on the rest of the page.

Resolving a NAT problem
At the bottom of the µTorrent window toward the middle of the status bar you will see a colored dot. If the colored dot is redyou either have a NAT problem, or have not yet configured your firewall to allow µTorrent.
A yellow icon is an indeterminate state. To know if your setup is correct, open the Speed Guide with Ctrl+G, then click "Test if the port is forwarded properly." If the test is not successful, then either your forwarding is not working correctly or your firewall is not configured properly.
Some people who do not have a separate router may find that their serves as both modem router, and this procedure will also apply.

Using UPnP or NAT-PMP
Newer router models often have the UPnP (Universal Plug 'n Play) or NAT-PMP built in. This allows for automatic forwarding of ports, making the rest of the instructions on this page unnecessary. Check your router's documentation for instructions on how to enable it, and then enable UPnP in µTorrent:
  • Go to Options > Preferences > Connections, check "Enable UPnP port mapping" and check "Enable NAT-PMP port mapping."

Manually forwarding a port
If UPnP/NAT-PMP is not available or does not work, it will be necessary to forward the port manually. A forwarded port is needed for any P2P client you use, not just µTorrent. Since we want to forward a single port, we need to set the listen port for µTorrent:
1.     To set a single port, navigate to Options > Preferences > Connections
2.     Click "random port" once, and note the port number provided. This will be the port number you will be forwarding in your router. (You may also assign a port number of your choice)
3.     Uncheck "Randomize port each time µTorrent starts." The port number will no longer change each time µTorrent is started.

Setting up a static IP
Routers work by attributing a "dynamic IP" to each computer when it connects to the router. Since this IP is dynamic it can, and often does change each time. The router selects which IP to attribute from a list of available IPs called the DHCP range. This range is expressed as either:  Starting IP / ending IP, or Starting IP and number of IPs.  (192.154.10.1 to 192.154.10.100 or 192.154.10.1 with 100 IPs available). In order to setup a static IP for your computer it is important to select one outside of this range in order to avoid it being attributed to another computer by the router. Finding out what the DHCP range can be hard work since I have no router specific instructions to direct you to the correct menu. You'll have to find it on your own (you may refer to your router's manual for more information).
To enter the router configuration screens : Windows Start button > Run, type "cmd /k; ipconfig /all" WITHOUT the quotes.
1.     From the DOS window that will open, copy the default gateway number to your web browser and hit enter.
2.     In the login window enter your username / password (if you have not set one try: admin/admin admin/blank blank/admin or even blank/blank)
3.     Navigate the menus and screens until you find the DHCP range.
4.     Since many routers have limits on the number of IPs they can handle (regardless of the number of computers connected). Reduce the DHCP range by one. (Reduce the ending IP by one or reduce the number of IP by one). Make a note of the newly available IP (which is outside the range); this is what you will use for a static IP further.
5.     Exit the router configuration and follow the instructions at the Portforward Static IP Guide to setup your operating system to use a static ip.

Forwarding your port in the router
The procedure for forwarding a port in the router varies with each make and model of router.
Check your router's label for its manufacturer and model number and select the appropriate model at the Portforward Router Guide.
