Windows Vista and Windows 7 will loose they ability to hibernate after you run a disk clean up, this is due to the fact that you have selected “Hibernation File Cleaner” while performing the disk cleanup
To restore Hibernate functionality you have to run the following command
Powercfg /hibernate on
Alternatively you could decide to remove the “Hibernation File Cleanup” option from Disk cleanup, to do so simply use your favorite registry editing tool to delete the following key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Hibernation File
After updating my other blog adidap to wordpress 2.7 I have noticed that the Lightbox 2 plugin stopped working on my older posts but was working well on any new post I created.
After a few hours of research I found the answer in the comments of the plugin it self, so the credits of this finding goes to Mymoto I am just documenting it, and applies of version 2.02 of the plugin.
- Open the Lightbox.php file in the plugin editor
- Find function lightbox_wp_head() {
- Now find if ($lightboxoffmeta == “false”) { (should be on line 48)
- Comment out this line
- Add directly beneath it if ($lightboxoffmeta == “false” || $lightboxoffmeta == ”) {
- Save lightbox.php
You’re function should now look like
function lightbox_wp_head() {
global $lightboxpluginpath, $post;
$lightboxcolor1 = get_option("lightbox_color1");
$lightboxlb_opacity = get_option("lightbox_lb_opacity");
$lightboxlb_resize = get_option("lightbox_lb_resize");
$lightboxoff = false;
$lightboxoffmeta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'lightboxoff',false);
// if ($lightboxoffmeta == "false") {
if ($lightboxoffmeta == "false" || $lightboxoffmeta == '') {
Today I’ve installed Windows 7 on my MacBook to give it a spin and, overall, it was a nice experience I understand now why they call it “Vista done right”!
What immediately bothered me was the fact that I couldn’t get Windows Live Messenger 9 to minimize to the system tray! No matter what I did it was stuck to the taskbar whereas I never had that problem on Windows Vista and it was quite annoying.
Luckily it didn’t take me long to figure out that running Windows Live Messenger in Windows Vista compatibility mode would solve the problem to do so
- Navigate to %ProgramFiles%\Windows Live\Messenger\ and find msnmgsr.exe
- Right Click properties on that file and go to the “Compatibility” tab
- Select “Windows Vista” from the drop down menu
- Click ok
- Exit and run Windows Live Messenger again
That’s it!
Rapidshare nearly has everything, Movies, programs, mp3s, e-books.. you name it! I sometimes even find it better than BitTorrent since the download speed at Rapidshare is always stable. But as everybody knows, the problem with Rapidshare is the restriction of the number of downloads per IP address, so if you’re sharing your internet connection with other people you will barely get a chance to download your desired files.
A lot of workarounds have been created to allow regular users to download as if they have premium accounts, i.e. bypass the downloads restrictions, and we have already blogged about some of them.
Today we will be introducing a new way to be bypass those restrictions, it isn’t a software and it doesn’t even involve using your own computer to break the rules, think of another concept!

Who doesn’t watch YouTube videos? We find everything there ranging fro funny sketches to really good tutorials. But it is really irritating to try to watch a video then get a notice that YouTube has removed it!
But believe it or not, a video is not immediately removed from YouTube. Instead, it is just marked as removed until it gets really deleted. So for some period of time we will still be able to watch any removed video, and here’s how to do it.

I was surfing today and came across this cool trick for Facebook.
Suppose you’re searching for people on Facebook. Normally, you can preview their profile picture (and their whole profile actually) given that they’re in the same network as yours. But what if you want to see the profile picture of someone in another network or who has simply limited access to his/her profile?

We all know it, rapidshare got nearly everything! Programs, movies, games, music albums… you name it. But the limitations it has drive everybody crazy, you cannot download two files without waiting for a certain period of time in between. It is their right after all, as it is the only way to get people to buy premium accounts.
However, there are always some alternatives that you can use instead of buying a rapidshare premium account, and I’ll be sharing them with you.

When iPhone hit the market, the lack of video recording capability was really unjustified (at least to us). After all, isn’t supposed to be a multimedia phone?
BUT, this is about to change! Thanks to the development of a 3rd party beta software that is currently capable of recording 5 seconds video at 10 frames per second. However, this is just the beginning as the final version is promised to record unlimited length videos at 45 frames per second.
