Recently, Tamilnadu and UP government has distributed
free laptops to the students and students are happy to get their brand new laptops. Laptops' configuration is also very nice but students are not satisfied with the
Splash screen of their laptops. They want to
change the splash screens and use their own splash screens but they are unable to get any tool for that and even BIOS update is also not working. In this tutorial, I'm going to tell you how to change the splash screen of the laptop distributed by Tamilnadu government.
Follow the steps below:
> First of all, we will have to
take the backup of current BIOS so that it can be restored in case of any type of system failure.
> To take the backup of BIOS, download
BIOS Backup ToolKit. (
DOWNLOAD FROM HERE)
> After downloading the backup tool, extract it and run the exe file of the application. Click
READ and then click
BACKUP and save the backup file somewhere in your hard disk.
> Make a copy of your bios file that we made in the previous step and name it "
44CN43WW.fd"
> Windows will ask if you're sure that you want to change the extension of the file. Click
Yes.
> If Windows did not ask you that, make sure you did not name it as "
44CN43WW.fd.rom". You need to change the extension of the file as well.
Hello friends, today, I'm gonna tell you a way using which you can
break Administrator passwords in windows 7 and can change it without logging into the administrator account. It's very simple and works like a charm. So, let's start:
- First of all, you need a live boot CD/DVD, such as Ubuntu.
- Insert your Ubuntu live boot disk in your optical drive and boot from it.
- Choose the option to run Ubuntu without installing it into your pc.
- Now, after a few minutes, you will see the desktop of Ubuntu OS.
- Now, let's start with the main procedure. Go to C: drive (or open that drive in which you installed windows OS) and then go to Windows folder.
- Now open System32 folder and find the file sethc.exe and rename it as sethc_backup.exe.
- Now from that folder, rename the file cmd.exe as sethc.exe (you must take the backup of the original cmd.exe before renaming it)
- That's all we need to do, let's start breaking the admin password.
- Restart your computer and boot it from hard disk.
- Now when you see the user login screen, press shift key 5 times.
- You will get command prompt opened with full administrative rights.
As the title of this post says, we can
use a single USB stick to install multiple operating systems in computers. You might be using
Win2Flash software to
make your pen drives bootable but that software can make your pen drive bootable only for one operating system. I am going to discuss about some cool softwares which offer you to
create a single bootable pen drive to install multiple operating systems.
1. MultiBootUSB
This is an open source software which is free and the best thing is that it is portable, it means you don't need to install it in your system. You can use it just after downloading this application by putting its exe file in any external media to use it in any computer.
2. XBoot
XBoot is another tool to
create single bootable usb stick for multiple operating systems. All you need is to download the exe file and run it in your computer. Now add the ISO files of your operating systems into its window box.
From there, just click on the
Create USB button. The program will prompt you to select the USB drive that you wish to install the ISOs on, and to select the kind of bootloader that you want to use. If your USB stick is formatted to FAT32, XBoot recommends Syslinux. If the USB stick is formatted to NTFS, Grub4DOS is recommended. You could also select Do not install any Bootloader, but since we want the USB stick to be bootable, I don’t see why we’d choose that. Click OK and we’re on the way!
.Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) error occurs while installing some applications like Corel Draw X6, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and other softwares in windows 8. Windows 8 says the user to connect to the internet and download and install
.Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) but if you are still facing the same problem, I have a fix for it. But before trying this fix,
make sure you have windows 8 installation DVD inserted in your optical drive or you have windows 8 installation disk copied in your system's hard disk.
Let's start:
- First of all, open Control Panel > Programs and Features and then click Turn Windows Features On or Off.
- Now windows features dialog box will appear. Enable .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) by clicking the checkbox before it and click OK. It will download the required package from the internet and install it in your computer. Now the problem should be fixed, but if you are still seeing an error, then you can try the command prompt method to enable .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) so just follow the next step.
- Now, open command prompt as administrator and type the following command:
dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\Sources\SxS /LimitAccess
- In the above code, E:\ is the source drive for windows 8 installer DVD. You must change it as per your system's status.
Converting your computer in a wifi hotspot is a cool idea if you want to connect other wifi enabled devices with your computer. But the main problem is security, because if you
convert your computer into a wifi hotspot, anyone can access your internet connection and use your data. So, I'm going to tell you how to convert your pc into an
encrypted wifi hotspot to broadcast your internet connection to other devices with full security. We have two small applications which can do this work in a great way and the biggest plus point is that both of these applications are free. So, lets discuss about the
steps to convert your computer in wifi hotspot:
Using VIRTUAL ROUTER Software:
- Visit the download page from the given link and download and install the app in your windows 7/8 pc.
- Now open virtual router and choose a good SSID name and a nice password.
- Now select the connection you want to broadcast for other devices.
- After setting all these things, click Start Virtual Router button.
Hello Friends, I provided

Mixcraft 6. It will show it is as trial.
> If the registration window comes, use this
serial key and click

registry editor (Go to

Mixcraft 6, and viola...!! It's now
registered and working properly.
> Check this path also (
see image below) for the keys starting with
DX7II-, if there is any,
delete that also.
> Enjoy.
NOTE : Don't connect to the internet while working on Mixcraft to be safe from registration problems.
***UPDATE***
In windows 7 x64, you must delete the keys from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Wow6432node>Acoustica>mixcraft6"
