Asus mother boards sometimes they don't want to recognize some components (monitor, video drivers don't work correctly or anything like it) so that will take you to think that could be the drivers right?.

So you install them again and again and for some reason the PC still won't recognize them. Well you may also think that the mother board it's messed up, the monitor, or maybe the cable, etc...

Well here's the deal with Asus mother boards, they need to have a full battery in order to operate correctly, if the battery is low then he will stop recognizing a few components when you turn it on. So make sure to check that out first.

well first things first unplug your PC, make sure to get a piece of plastic a hard one so you can remove the old battery (because sometimes it could be hard to take it out) wait a few seconds (like 15-20 secs. just to make sure the Bios will start fresh) then insert your new battery and that should do the trick automatically will recognize every component in your machine.

Installing Visual Studio 2010 RC1 on XP SP3

Installing Visual Studio 2010

After a few hours with a friend we finally figured it out!.

Here's the problem with Windows XP and this entry, the developer forgot a huge detail. The "boot.ini" is not the one with the program (Visual Studio) is the one on the PC the one in the "C:/" so... go to my computer add search "boot.ini" and look up for the one located in the C:/ then open it with note pad (right click open with: note pad) make sure you make a back up of the original one (In case that you mess it up) so now that you got your copy with the original code, edit it with this one here.

THE CODE THAT YOU GOING TO USE IN ORDER TO INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO 2010. 

[boot loader]

/NoExecute=AlwaysOff



After installing Visual Studio 2010. make sure that you rewrite the "boot.ini" file with the original code!!!!

DON'T FORGET THIS!!!! so once you're done with the installation paste the original code in the file.

SAVE IT AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!. NJOY!

Acer Aspire V5-571 Windows 8 (64 Bit not upgraded) Connection Problems

Well, I received a call from a friend last night he was having some problems with this model Acer Aspire V5-571. The issue was a connection problem he was using his phone as a hotspot, ok first things first Windows 8 we all know is a pain in the ass but there's a few stuffs that still pretty standard, so the thing is that many updates for most of these PCs mess things up so I'll suggest that you "turn this off" (Automatic Updates).

If you don't know how to get the setting to connect to your network here's a video.

What to do to solve this? if the card recognizes the network but does not connect you must look up for the right driver for your wireless card and Bios, you can get them from the manufacturer.

Here's the link:

After getting them remove the security from your router or your phone (the password) leave it open, for some reason some times the security certificates from most of these devices (router or phone) give troubles to the OS and eventually won't let the card connect to the router or phone.

Well here's first step, install the latest Bios update, second install the wireless card driver, third reboot, fourth step go to the windows network option and delete the profile of this connection (the one with the password which allows you to connect to your router or phone) the wireless card must be turned off. Try to connect this way to the router or phone (with open connection) if it works then you just set again your router or phone password and then do the same thing, but this time put the password and then hit connect on your PC.

I always recommend to do most of these updates manually and always but always create a "restore point on your PC" just in case that things get messed up you can restore your PC and run it without problems.
