Solution: Google Earth: ‘DirectX’ mode not supported

September 22, 2009 at 2:16 am · Filed under Technology ·Tagged , , , , ,

I’ve been using Google Earth on various computers and laptops until i installed Google Earth on Fujitsu Lifebook S6421. The problem doesn’t lie in the proper drivers that are not installed or directx 9.0c. It should also affect: Fujitsu Lifebook S6421BW, S6420WS.

I even went to install DirectX 10 on my Windows XP. But it still fails.

Solution:
- Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display -> Settings tab
- Click ‘Advanced’ button, ‘Troubleshoot’ tab
- Under ‘Hardware acceleration’
- Move the lever to Full
- Check ‘Enable write combining’
- Press ‘Ok’

Now try Google Earth again!

Solution: Uninstall/Removing TrendMicro OfficeScan Password

September 22, 2009 at 1:54 am · Filed under Technology ·Tagged , , , , , , ,

I have been searching everywhere on removing Trend Micro OfficeScan pre-installed on laptops bought in SMU matriculation. I’ve successfully uninstalled it, here’s the solution if anybody is interested.

Necessary steps:
#1. Change Registry Keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc
- AllowUninstall value to 1
- NoPwdProtect value to 1

#2. Disconnect from the Internet / Disable Wireless/LAN Adapter

#3. Modify certain values in C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\OfficeScan Client\OfcScan.ini

- Search for [INI_CLIENT_SECTION]
- Change the Keys to these Values
Uninstall_Pwd=70
Client_Allow_Uninstall=1
Client_Allow_Unload=1

Save Ofcscan.ini, Uninstall. It didn’t prompt me for a password, but if it did, enter “1″.
* if it doesnt work, restart the laptop/computer, disable internet connection, then uninstall.

I’ve installed ESET NOD32 over this.
Cheers.
