How to Program the Progress Bar in VB.net

1. Open a Visual Basic project. Double-click the "Progress Bar" control on the toolbar to add "ProgressBar1" to the form. Double-click the "Button" control to add "Button1" to the form.
2. Press "F7" to open the code window. Open the "Form1_Load" subroutine and type the following:ProgressBar1.Minimum = 0
ProgressBar1.Maximum = 5
ProgressBar1.Value = 0This code sets the starting values for the progress variable, as well as the minimum, maximum and current values for the progress bar. You can set a different maximum value depending on what you need the progress bar for.
3. Open the "Button1_Click" subroutine and type the following:If ProgressBar1.Value < ProgressBar1.Maximum Then
ProgressBar1.Value += 1
If ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Maximum Then
MsgBox("Finished!")
End If
End IfWhen the user clicks the button, this code checks to see if the progress bar is less than maximum value. If so, it increments the value by one, causing the progress bar on the form to show greater completion as well. It then checks again to see if the value has reached the maximum. This way, when the progress bar does reach the max, you cannot increment the value any further and therefore you avoid an out-of-range error.

How to Scan amp; Repair DLL Files

1. Understand terminology before choosing a .dll scan/repair software. .DLL refers to a collection of small files of code that serve as links between software and data. The registry, although used interchangeably with .dll, is different. The registry is essentially the nervous system for your computer. When you attempt to open a program, your computer searches the registry to find where the program is stored. The registry contains references to settings and values for the operating system, the programs, user profiles, document types, property sheet settings, system hardware and ports. If a computer begins to slow or crashes, it's usually because there's an error in the registry. Errors in the registry usually are caused by power outages, downloads and incomplete installation of software. In addition, registry errors can corrupt .dll files.
2. Note the error message, if you get one. A corrupted or missing .dll means that software you're requesting can't be found. For example, a win32.dll error message means the win32.dll file which involves data types, functions, objects, variables, constants, and classes that can be used to create applications for the Windows platform is missing or isn't retrieving data properly. Since the win32.dll defines how the operating system should operate, it's a critical file and needs to be replaced or repaired.
3. Install a top-rated program that scans, cleans and repairs the registry and any corrupted or missing .dll files. While there are free downloads on the internet, it's prudent to read reviews and pick a program based on functionality rather than cost. Reviewers rated RegCure the best in overall performance. For the average computer user, it's comprehensive and easy to use. You tell the program how often to run the scans; the program does the rest. Registry Easy won reviews in speed and its ability to repair the registry and .dll files. Error Fix was rated highly for its simplicity and ability to fix registry and .dll files.
4. Hire a computer software expert or find an online firm that fixes your registry and .dll errors remotely. Although the cost can be much greater than a package, many of these firms provide unlimited service for a one-year membership. After scanning, cleaning and repairing your computer, they will frequently include software that scans and repairs future errors automatically. Computer Geeks Online is just one of many remote computer repair firms. Before you settle on one, research reviews and ratings.

Click the 'Next' button after clicking a restore point.
8. Read over your chosen restore information on the confirmation screen, then click 'Next' or 'Finish.' Your computer will restore itself and then reboot, which will take a few minutes.
9. Click the 'OK' button on the confirmation dialog box that appears after rebooting. Check to see if you're still having problems related to setupx.dll. If you are, your best remaining option is to replace the file manually, which is explained in the next section.

If you prefer to download this file from another location, search for the file name using your chosen search engine. There are several sites that offer replacement versions of the .dll files that are relatively common.
11. Download the file and open it. It will open in the application designated to handle .zip files. Unzip or extract the setupx.dll file to your computer's desktop.
12. Right-click the 'Start' button and select 'Explore.' In the left panel of Windows Explorer, navigate to the system folder for your version of Windows.

When you find this folder, left-click it once.
13. Drag and drop the setupx.dll file from your desktop into the system folder you opened in the previous step. If the original file is present but corrupted, you'll see a message stating that a file by this name already exists. Click the 'Yes' button to replace the old file with the new one.

How to Restore an Invalid Application in Win32

1. Ensure that the application you are trying to run is indeed a Win32 application. If it was designed for an older version of Windows (prior to Windows 95) or for DOS, it may not run properly on a 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if it was designed for a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7, it definitely will not run. Check the source from which you obtained the program for further details about the application.
2. Uninstall the application that Windows is calling invalid. Then, download and install the application again, if possible. If you are downloading the program from the Internet, make sure the source website is reliable and that the file you are downloading actually is an executable program. If you installed the application from a CD, make sure the disc is clean and undamaged.
3. Scan the file with a virus scanner of your choosing, as it is possible that the application has been infected by a computer virus.
4. Boot Windows in Safe Mode and try to run the program there. Restart your computer and hold down the 'F8' key as it boots. When the Advanced Options or Startup menu appears, choose 'Safe Mode.' If the program runs successfully in Safe Mode, then some other application running in the background of the normal Windows boot is preventing it from executing. Reboot your computer and use your virus scanner to fully scan your hard drives, especially if you are experiencing this problem with more than one program. Also, use a free spyware/malware scanner like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which can be downloaded from the link in the Resources section of this article.

How to Fix Root Rot

Preparation
1. Remove the affected plant from the plant pot and set aside. Remove all other plants from the soil, because it is contaminated and will need to be replaced. Set the plant with root rot aside, away from the other plants.
2. Rinse the roots of the healthy plants in 75-degree water to remove the existing soil.
3. Mix sterilized drainage material like rocks, gravel or broken pieces of clay pot into your sterile soil to improve drainage. If you are using a container to grow your plants, put 2 to 3 inches of drainage material on the bottom of the pot to improve soil drainage.
4. Fill the container or growing area half full of soil and drainage mix. Gently place the plant in the planting area and hold it in place as you gently fill soil around its roots. Once the plant is stabilized and the growing container is full to within 1 to 2 inches of the top, give the soil a little pat to gently pack it in and even it out.
5. Water your newly replanted plant liberally and watch the water drain to make sure that its stagnant, root-rot encouraging water is no longer stopped up in your growing area.
Sterilizing soil
6. Sterilize the new soil. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
7. Place the soil in an oven bag like that which you would use to bake turkey and add a cup or two or water until the soil is moist, not runny. Seal the oven bag. Poke a meat thermometer into the soil at least 2 inches deep to measure the temperature.
8. Bake the soil at 200 degrees until the soil has been at 170 degrees for 30 minutes. If the soil begins to exceed 170 degrees before the time is up, turn the oven down or temporarily off to adjust the temperature.
9. Turn the oven off and allow the soil to cool inside the oven until it reaches a safe handling temperature; typically 110 degrees or below. The soil will be hot enough to burn you until it has been allowed to cool to this point.
10. Remove the soil from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before using it.

How to Fix a quot;JVM terminated. Exit code=13quot; Error in Eclipse

1. First, realize that this error is caused when you are attempting to start Eclipse using the wrong version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). So you need to realize what JVM you are starting with.
2. If you are using Linux, you can type "which java" on the command line. Otherwise, you can type "java -version". This will give you the Java version.
3. Now, you need to research the correct JVM for the version of Eclipse that you are using. For example, if you are using Eclipse Europa, it may require the 1.5 JVM to start. When you initially get the error message, you may see something that says "requiredJavaVersion=1.5", which will tell you what version of the JVM is required.
4. Make sure that you have the correct version of Java installed.
5. Now, you can either change the Java version environment variable or you can tell Eclipse to use a different version of the virtual machine upon startup. To do this you use the "vm" flag.For example: ./eclipse -vm /home/seed/app/jre1.5.0_10/bin
6. Now that you have changed the version of the Java Virtual Machine that you are using to start Eclipse, the error should be resolved. Good luck!
