The screen would go black and there was lots of disk activity. Then after the disk activity finished the system would return to […]

UPDATE: See this new article by Helge Klein Recently Helge Klein wrote a blog titled How to Speed Up Your Windows 7 Boot Time by 20%.

After updating to iOS 5.01 the keyboard wasn’t shown anymore on my iPad2. This happened in all applications except Cydia. I remembered that I had installed the (excellent) application 5-Row Keyboard for iPad which shows the numeric keys together with the QWERTY keys (in a 5th row). I also remembered that this tweak didn’t work […]

A Jailbreak for iOS 5.01 on A5 devices (the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S) has been released today. If you didn’t yet update your devices to 5.01 now is the time because Apple is expected to release iOS 5.1 very soon. The exploits that are used to make the jailbreak possible on iOS 5.01 […]

Earlier this week I was asked to investigate a problem with the Xerox Universal Printer Driver. Users complained that printing to a Xerox printer was much slower than printing to an HP printer. I received a reference document from a user, a rather complex Excel sheet. When selecting multiple tabs it took almost a minute […]

A few days ago I decided to update my iPhone which was still running iOS 4.3.1 to iOS 5.0.1. I delayed this update for a while because I had Jailbreaked my iPhone. Unfortunately an update is much more work when you have Jailbreaked because you also have to restore Cydia settings such as the repositories […]

Today I was troubleshooting a Thinapped Visual Basic Application. The application halts with a Run-time error ‘372’ when trying to run a report: Microsoft KB article kb942870 hints to an ActiveX component that is registered into HKCU instead of HKLM. A trace with the ThinApp Log Monitor reveals that the application is looking for an […]
