1. Use notepad.exe (if you’re unable to launch, use another computer or any file that write a text file) and write the following:
   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"
2. Save the file as fix.reg and run it.
3. Reboot your computer

After scouring websites advising about changing the normal.dot file and still having the problem, I found another site that recommends deleting printer from the “Devices and Printers”. Before I tried that, I change the default printer to “PDFCreator” and it solves the problem. I didn’t have the time to troubleshoot it, but it maybe SNMP or network related, but documents actually prints just fine. So I’ll leave it at this for now.

That link is actually for a Linux, so I uses VirtualBox and a Linux (Ubuntu) image file. From there I followed most part of the guide.

However I’ll post my observation (on 2G):

• It’s running way too sluggish
• Call sometimes doesn’t work (stuck at the calling, but not really dialing)
• Phone becomes really warm and battery drain is too much
• There’s not enough button
• Overall condition is not really usable for daily use

Couple notes:

• If Wifi connects but browser not going anywhere, try the DNS fix
• All “adb” type commands require the download of SDK
• If Virtual Box can’t connect to the iPhone when doing the ‘./oibc’ portion, you may need to shut down and restart your virtual machine (including the Virtual Box itself)
• Going to Apple’s recovery mode (for upgraders) from the openiboot would require you to hold the “Menu” button after choosing the iPhone mode

Post comments for questions and help on how to install iDroid.

As it turns out, Outlook doesn’t support SSLv3. I had been using Thunderbird for the longest time without any problem, but since I had to test Outlook 2007 for business purposes.

To fix the issue, I changed my Courier IMAP setting from:
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL3
to
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL23

Fix:
Run outlook with the /cleanviews switch. (For x64 Vista I run the following command: “c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice12OUTLOOK.EXE /cleanviews”)

1. Choose an MP3 file and trim it to 30 seconds or less – I use Audacity (download link) to do it
2. Import that MP3 into iTunes
3. Goto iTunes -> Preferences (for Mac) or Edit -> Preferences (for PC)
4. Navigate to Advanced -> Importing tab and set the “Import Using:” to AAC
5. Find the trimmed MP3 file inside iTunes, right click and choose “Convert Selection to AAC”
6. Right click the AAC version of the file and choose “Get Info”
7. Note the path to the file as indicated by the “Where” section under the “Summary” tab
8. Navigate to the location of the file and copy it to desktop
9. Change the extension of the copied file to “.m4r”
10. Open the files in iTunes and it should be automatically inserted under Ringtones category, which then can be transferred to iPhone

NOTE: I have tried to use “SoundConverter” and set the file type to be m4a. This actually doesn’t work. When I did it that way, the file will be uploaded but won’t be able to be played. It might have something to do with the file size generated by “SoundConverter” being too large.

SMS Notification is slightly more complicated than the Ringtones counterpart. SMS notification actually can’t be added, only modified. I also recommend shorter file for SMS notification. Here are the steps I take:

1. Trim MP3 files using Audacity (usually SMS notification should be shorter, roughly 3-4 seconds should be good)
2. Import the MP3 file to iTunes
3. Change the iTunes import to AIFF (Follow the ringtones guide to change importing mode in iTunes)
4. Find the AIFF file and copy to desktop
5. Change the extension to “.caf”
6. SFTP to the iPhone using Cyberduck (Mac) or WinSCP (Windows) or any other SFTP software
7. Navigate to the following directory: “/System/Library/Audio/UISounds”
8. Change one of the “sms-received<x>.caf” file to “sms-received_<x>.caf” where <x> is an integer from 1 to 6 that is least preferrable
   For example: Rename “sms-received6.caf” to “sms-received_6.caf” to replace the Electronic with custom sound
   File name mapping to notification name:
   sms-received1.caf -> Tri-tone
   sms-received2.caf -> Chime.caf
   sms-received3.caf -> Glass
   sms-received4.caf -> Horn
   sms-received5.caf -> Bell
   sms-received6.caf -> Electronic
9. Upload the file on the desktop using the old name of that was changed
   For example: if “sms-received_6.caf” is changed to “sms-received_6.caf”, upload the file using the name “sms-received6.caf”
10. Choose in iPhone the replaced tone
    For example: if you replaced sms-received6.caf, then you should choose Electronic

UPDATE: Ringtone should be set to 30 seconds. Another way to trim the music is to use iTunes’ ‘start time’ & ‘stop time’ field. This field is accessible by right clicking the song then choosing Get Info -> Options. After performing that, you export the file as AAC then rename it.

UPDATE: As one commenter mentioned, the SMS Notification hack only works on jailbroken iPhone

“The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed”

Instead of deleting his profile and recreating it as proposed by most people, I just try to rejoin it to the domain. It works! Step by Step instruction is available after the jump.

I’m not very familiar with Vista’s layout, so it may be a little bit longer than what needs to be done.

1. Click on the Start and right click on Computers
2. Go to Advance System Settings (on the bottom left)
3. Go to the Computer Name tab
4. Click on Network ID
5. Re-join to Domain (it will ask you if you want to use the profile for the same computer and say yes)
6. Restart the computer

1. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ window by going to Start -> Run then type ‘cmd’ then press enter
2. Type

   ntsd -c qd taskmgr

   in the command prompt

After that, a new ‘Task Manager’ will popup and you should be able to modify the settings.
