Windows 7 Driver for Creative Soundblaster PCI Soundcard

Below are the Hardware Ids I found on Windows Device Manager.
I have installed the driver manually and it works fine but game port driver is not working.
It's ok with me since I'm not using it. :)

How to remove OVO Agent completely from a Windows 2012 VM

While doing RTPA today I noticed that the OVO Agent installed on one of the Machine got errors.
This is for a new Windows 2012 VM that should be delivered today to our client.

See error code below for reference:

C:\>opcagt
**** some lines removed ***
perfalarm     (Alarm generator)                                       Stopped
perfalarmsrv  (Alarm generator service)                               Stopped
**** some lines removed ***

(ctrl-21) Communication error when executing 'Status' method.
 (xpl-333) recv() on '[::1]:50292' failed.
  (WIN-10054)

I have searched over the Internet and from our internal webpages but unable to find the right solution.

The commands opcagt -kill opcagt -cleanstart and ovc -kill ovc -start does not help much.

Now I decided to completely remove the OVO agent and just reinstall them from the start.

Remove the agent (Command below in BOLD characters)



C:\temp\itopackage11.14-winAgentOne-x64\A1bins\packages\WIN\Windows_X64> 

oasetup.exe -remove -clean

INFO:

*** some lines removed ***

INFO: Removing the component HPOpsAgt ...
INFO: Removing the component HPOvPerlA ...
INFO: Removing the component HPSharedComp ...
INFO: Removed startup menu folder items.
INFO: HP Operations agent removal completed...

Now it's completed and hopefully my re installation will work correctly... :)

how to install unetbootin in puppy linux 5.2.5

I wan't to create a bootable flash drive but I'm having issue with the latest unetbootin (unetbootin-linux-613.bin) in puppy linux. 

My Kingston DT Micro 8GB USB drive is not detected as shown below.

I've search over the Internet and end up using the older version of unetbootin (unetbootin-linux-494) which has the option of showing all the drives in my system.

Some issues:

There was an alert showing that pzip, mtools and sfdisk are missing in my System so I need to install them manually. Luckily I still found them on some reference links I mentioned below.

But for others convenience, I've also uploaded the files on 4shared which can be downloaded easily.

Note that for sfdisk file, just copy it to your root\sbin folder.

Windows 7 Device Drivers for DELL Latitude E5410 Laptop

Sometimes doing a complete reformat of a Laptop or a Desktop Computer gives me a problem. This happens when I reformatted a DELL Latitude E5410 Laptop using Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Operating System. Most drivers are installed but I found that Network Adapters are not installed properly.

I search for a compatible device driver over the Internet and then manually install it to make both Network Devices working again. Now, all devices are working properly on my DELL Latitude E5410 Laptop.

Provided below are download links of 3 devices which I found not installed when I reformatted my Laptop. Note that these drivers might also work on other Laptop Computers.

Wi-Fi Driver - Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter Driver

Wired LAN Driver - Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller

My Solar Powered 12 Volts Desk Fan

On early 90's, Solar Panels are very rare and cost high here in the Philippines. I still remember that a client of mine is trying to sell a 50 watts solar panel for PHP15,000.00 each which came from Germany. But now, this Free Source of Energy are available in Malls and some Streets in Recto (Quiapo) in Manila for a very low price.

I bought mine for only PHP 650.00 pesos each and currently using 3 of this 10 watts Solar Panels to power up a 12 volts Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery which I also bought few months ago.

The Battery costs PHP 600.00 each if I remember correctly while the Desk Fan is PHP 750.00 when I bought it in CDR King. Of course the prices may vary without prior notice. :)

Moving forward, I have placed and mounted the Solar Panel in a flat iron bar in our roof top and used an old Cable and Telephone wires to connect the Positive and Negative charge directly to the Battery. I'm not using a charge controller though I have one as advised by the Technician that it's not needed for this setup co'z using charge controller will just waste some of the Energy.

Also note that I'm using separate Battery for powering up a 12 volts desk fan that using right now. As compared to a 12 volts bulb, the fan consumes much Energy.

I'm planning to buy more Solar Panels and Batteries to support more lighting in our house in future.
I have included some images and a video below for reference purposes only.

That's all for now and If you have questions or other ideas you may post it in the comments.
