			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m using a Linksys WPS54G Version 2 wireless printserver. Although according to the Linksys Support page this product doesn&#8217;t exist (only the version 1 does), it&#8217;s a crappy device but sometimes does the job.</p>
<p>The hardware information for this product is as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hardware ID:05004A8C3C<br />
Firmware Version:6051<br />
MAC Address:00-14-BF-XX-XX-XX<br />
Protocol ID:800E<br />
Default Name:LK6DD399<br />
Server Name:PRINTSERVER</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve read some on the web that firmware for version 1 also should run on version 2.<br />
I also tried the webinterface but couldn&#8217;t upgrade to a newer firmware version 6051, it gave me a &#8220;Upgrade fail&#8221;. Then I started the BiAdmin Management Utility, which can be downloaded from the Linksys Site.</p>
<p>The util gave me this info, notice the FIRMWARE VERSION 6050:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/before.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-76" title="before" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/before-300x244.png" alt="" width="300" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>Then I hit the upgrade symbol (the chip symbol) and entered the password (which by default is &#8220;admin&#8221;).<br />
The util gave me the option to select the interface to use, which wasn&#8217;t too much:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nic.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-77" title="nic" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nic-300x227.png" alt="" width="300" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Whatever I entered, after pressing &#8220;OK&#8221; I got a nice &#8220;Access to the target is in failure&#8221;&#8230;. thanks for the great software Linksys - a Cisco company!<br />
Running the software as an administrator didn&#8217;t solve the issue. I realised that it could have something to do with my OS, being win7 beta.</p>
<p>After settings the program compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/compat.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-78" title="compat" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/compat-212x300.png" alt="" width="212" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>And restarting the program as an administrator, the interface dialog finally gave me something usefull:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nic-2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-79" title="nic-2" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nic-2-300x227.png" alt="" width="300" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>After selecting an interface, I could select an image file to upload to the device. At some stages I had to wait over 15 seconds before the interface responded again so take some time for this operation <img src='http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The util gave me some information about the selected (new) firmware:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bininfo.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-80" title="bininfo" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bininfo.png" alt="" width="298" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>After pressing OK:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/erasing.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-81" title="erasing" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/erasing-300x121.png" alt="" width="300" height="121" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/upgrading.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-82" title="upgrading" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/upgrading-300x122.png" alt="" width="300" height="122" /></a></p>
<p>Afterwards, the information box showed the new firmware number:</p>
<p><a href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/after.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-83" title="after" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/after-300x244.png" alt="" width="300" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>Please keep in mind that this device doesn&#8217;t connect to your wireless network if a network cable is plugged in.</p>
<p>Hope this guide helped some of you, please leave a reply if it did or not <img src='http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Windows Vista, by default, goes into sleep mode instead of powering off.<br />
A nice functionality, sometimes I don&#8217;t reboot my PC for weeks.</p>
<p>However, when I sleep my Vista and then unplug my USB mouse, the machine wakes up again. This can be anoying when you want to leave. A workaround is to unplug your USB mouse before sleeping the machine <img src='http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>A better solution is this:<br />
1) Check which devices are capable of waking up your machine when sleeping by opening a command prompt and run the following command:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">powercfg /devicequery wake_programmable</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">You might get something like this:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">Logitech USB iFeel Mouse (002)<br />
Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection<br />
Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN<br />
 AuthenTec Inc. AES2501A</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">Then open to <strong>device manager, </strong>go to the device you think is causing the wake up (my mouse in this example), <strong>double click it </strong>and choose <strong>power management</strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">Disable the checkbox <strong>&#8220;Allow this device to wake the computer&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US"><strong><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-72" title="allowdevice" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/allowdevice-270x300.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="300" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US"><strong></strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Took me a while to find out but this is the solution:</p>
<p>1) Install the game, if you run into problems at this stage, set the <em>MafiaLauncher.exe</em> and <em>MafiaSetup.exe</em> executables on CD1 to Compatibility Mode: Windows XP SP2. If it fails, execute it as an administrator.</p>
<p>2) Go into C:\Program Files\Mafia en set the executable <em>Game.exe</em> to Compatibility Mode: Windows XP SP2</p>
<p>3) Go out and search the web for an update to 1.2 (mafia_patch_1.2_eng.exe). On the web you will find sites which refer to patch 1.3 and 1.2, there is no difference. I found it <a href="http://www.softwarepatch.com/games/mafia.html" target="_blank">here</a> .</p>
<p>4) Go into C:\Program Files\Mafia en execute <em>Setup.exe. </em>Make sure you configure it as follows:</p>
<p><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/pictures/mafia.jpg" alt="Mafia Config" width="448" height="269" /></p>
<p>5) Now sometimes you might be able to play now, if not, follow the next step. You can test this by playing an intro.avi from the c:\program files\mafia folder. If you have video, your good to go!</p>
<p>6) In order to play the intro movies of Mafia (and play the game), you need and Indeo codec. This is unsupported on Vista (as a matter of fact, starting Windows XP SP1 and higher). Go out and fetch a freeware Indeo codec. I&#8217;ve got it from <a href="http://www.free-codecs.com/indeo_codec_download.htm" target="_blank">this site</a>. Starting from version 5.2 you have to pay for it so make sure you find an older one <img src='http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>7) Open a command prompt with elevated right (hit the start button, type CMD, right click it and choose  &#8221;Run as an administrator&#8221;. In the console type: <em>regsvr32 ir50_32.dll</em></p>
<p>8 ) Try to play the game and please leave a comment if this guide helped you out (or not)! </p>

<p>Some internet forum posts tell you that there is a hotfix @ Microsoft CSS.<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> This is not true.<br />
</span>This problem has been fixed in <strong>Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 SP1 </strong>which will be released somewhere summer 2008 (currently there this product is in beta).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">If anyone has information on how to filter these events from the eventlog (which is a solution to some people), please let me know.</span></p>
<p><strong>Edit - 4 June 2008<br />
As mentioned in the comments below by Carloc, there is a hotfix available on request (no KB article yet, you have to mention the number 951683. <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/carloc/archive/2008/06/04/wmi-warnings-35-and-40-with-asp-net.aspx" target="_blank">See Carloc&#8217;s page for the full story</a>. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So your corporate exchange server pushes an Password Policy? After a couple of minutes idle time, your device is locked and you have to enter a PIN?</p>
<p><img src="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/psswd.jpg" alt="Locked by exchange" /></p>
<p>You can remove this by following these steps:</p>
<p>1) <a target="_blank" href="http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/">Download </a>and start a registry editor for you windows mobile device</p>
<p>2) Find and change the registry key: <em>HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies/</em>00001023 to<strong> </strong>value<strong> 1</strong></p>
<p>3) Close the registry editor and on your mobile device navigate to <em>start, settings, lock </em>and <strong>disable </strong>the &#8220;Prompt if device unused for&#8221; checkbox</p>
<p>4) Most exchange servers push this policy every once and a while, so install <a target="_blank" href="http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/tools/Zenyee.com%20Stay%20Unlock.cab">download and install this .CAB </a>file on your device to make this setting permanent.</p>
<p>Your device will never be locked again. Credits go out to XDA developers and Zenyee.</p>
