  • Black Screen (of Death) solution for Windows (XP, Vista, 7, NT, 2K, 2K3, 2K8)

    It looks like in trying to make the OS more secure, the latest MS updates (KB915597 and KB976098) “could” actually break the windows login process. From what I understand the access permissions on the winlogon shell entry for explorer.exe are invalidated after this update and hence the OS will not load explorer.exe (and you end…

  • Synergy+ lets you share a mouse and keyboard between several computers.

    I’ve been using Synergy for about 3 years now and never really thought about writing about it. Tonight I came across Synergy+ which is a maintenance fork of the original Synergy.
