How to Explain the PC Registry

Manual Management
1. Open the registry by clicking the Windows 'Start' button. Click 'Run' or 'Start Search' (Windows Vista users).

3. Back up your registry by clicking 'My Computer' on the left panel. Click 'File' and click 'Export.' Type in the name for the backup file and click 'Save.' Before you make changes to the registry, it is always important to create a backup copy that you can come back to in case you make an error.
4. Click the path on the left panel that you want to access to adjust or delete certain registry keys. For example, to modify (adjust) a certain key in the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software' path, you click the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' folder on the left panel and click the 'Software' folder. Right-click the key you want to adjust on the right panel and click 'Modify.' Type in the value data and click 'OK' to save the changes. The value data you have to add all varies depending on the programs you have on your computer and which ones are causing problems. Those values will not be the same for every computer user.

Delete a registry item by clicking on the path you want on the left panel and right-clicking the registry key on the right panel and selecting 'Delete.' For example, to delete a key in the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software' path, you click the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' folder on the left panel and click 'Software.'

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!

How to Fix a Computer That Fails to Startup

How to Fix a Desktop Computer That Fails to Start Up
1. Check the power source. Go to the wall outlet where the computer, or its power strip, is plugged in and work toward the computer. Fix any problem you find and test your machine again.
2. Disconnect all cables coming out of the back of your desktop. Remove the cover. Reconnect the power cord. When you press the 'On' button, do any tiny lights illuminate on the motherboard, the power supply, or the status indicator lights on the front? If neither lights nor sound are emitted, your power supply may be dead.
3. Shut down the machine. Disconnect the power supply from the motherboard and any drives or other devices. Remove the four screws that hold the power supply in place on the chassis. Remove the power supply box.
4. Use a power supply tester to quickly test the box. If any lights come up red on the tester, the power supply is dead. If you don't have a tester, acquire an identical power supply you know is good from another source, such as another computer, and substitute it for a 'tester.'
5. Rest this 'tester' power supply on the outside of the computer. Plug it into the motherboard. Plug the monitor cable back in. Turn on the computer. If the computer boots to BIOS, your original power supply is certainly bad. Replace it before continuing testing.
6. Shut down the computer. Gently remove the silver clock battery from the motherboard. Press the power button to clear any residual electricity. Now put the clock battery back in. Reconnect the monitor and reboot. If the computer doesn't boot to BIOS, your motherboard is most likely bad. If it passes this test, continue.
7. Test the hard drive last. Shut down the computer. Switch the electrical connector serving the hard drive with a different one. Test again. If that doesn't work, disconnect the IDE cable connecting the hard drive to the motherboard and replace it with another IDE cable. If these steps fail to boot the drive, shut the computer down. Remove the hard drive. Install the hard drive as a proper slave drive on another computer and see if can be read by this other machine. Turn on the computer and go to 'Start,' 'My Computer,' and look for this slave drive. If it can't be found, the hard drive is probably dead. Replace it and reinstall Windows.

How to Find Shell32.Dll for IE6

Locating Your Version of Shell32.dll and Determining Its Version
1. Double click on the icon that says 'My Computer', or click on the Start button and select 'My Computer' from the menu. This will open a Windows Explorer window for navigating through the file system of your computer.
2. Double click on the icon labeled 'C:\'. Then double click on the folder that says WINDOWS. This will take you to the Windows directory.
3. Double click on the folder labeled System32 within the Windows Directory. This is where Windows installs Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files. (DLL files are shared components that many programs use; Windows stores them and loads them as needed.)
4. Click on the 'Tools' menu item at the top of the Windows Explorer panel. Select 'Folder Options'. From the dialog window that comes up, select the 'View' tab.
5. Click the check box for 'show hidden files and folders' if it is not checked already; this will make sure that Windows isn't hiding the DLL files from you.
6. Look for the file 'shell32.dll'. Put your mouse cursor over the file, and click with the right mouse button. A small menu (called a context sensitive menu) will pop up. Select 'Properties'. Look at the version number. The most recent version of shell32.dll for Windows XP (and IE6) is 6.0.2900.6018, which was updated in Windows XP Service Pack 3. For Windows Vista the most recent version begins with 6.0.1, and for Windows 7 it begins with 6.1.0.
Updating Your Version of Shell32.dll to the Most Recent Version.
7. Launch Internet Explorer. Microsoft Update will not run with other web browsers.
8. Navigate to Microsoft Support (see Resources).
9. Click on the link that says 'Windows Update.' Microsoft's website will ask for some information about your Windows installation to determine what Service Pack level you're at. It will then prompt you to save the service pack, and after it's downloaded, the installer will prompt you to reboot.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 3 of this section as often as necessary until you're up to the most recent service pack for your version of Windows. This will update shell32.dll to the most recent version for your operating system, as well as plugging many security holes in the operating system.
