Life of a software programmer
With the day to day challenges and innovations in technology, we need to always be updated. And that my friends is what the world goes round.
Recently i encountered a problem that doesn’t allow me to add a shared printer. It seems to be new so it might have something to do with the windows update.
Then i found the solutions. Its to add a registry entry. here it is :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled to 0
Once you do this you can now continue.
Enjoy,

Recently I have download Microsoft SQL Server for a small interesting project I was working. Then all of a sudden, my hard disk space became 0 in my Drive C.
Puzzled for a few days a encountered a blog post that featured a nifty little software that I will now keep in my software belt.
It shows you the disk size of each folder in your pc. Quite a good find. The name of the software is TreeSize Free version.
For the culprit, the folder is located at :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\Polybase\dump
When I looked at the folder, it came to 91gb.
So just in case you are working on a project in Microsoft SQL Server, be sure that the hard disk space will be close to zero, unless you can clean the dump folder.
Hope it helps
Stay safe guys

Hi guys, well, that’s not the whole story. Actually while using zoom I disabled the microphone by mistake.
So far after that day, I wasn’t able to use the microphone on my laptop.
Then at last I found a way to fix it. Actually another software that I was using gave me the idea on how.
Hope it helps

Recently I purchased a new laptop and had tried to install a lot of my legacy software. One of them suddenly popped out a message saying ”
Error 432. Setup has detected that unInstallShield is in use. Please close unInstallShield and restart setup. “
I have included a picture to show where the file is located
Hope this helps.

I have been working with bootstrap websites for quite some time and making admin backend pages have been a new experience for me.
Lately the default 10 row table data have a lot of people ask if we can increase it to a certain number other than 10.
Fortunately, I came across the code to grant this request. But we need to go into the source code page to accomplish this.
Inside the HTML page, at the bottom, you will see a script section
We need to add more code to it.
When you refresh the page, you will see that it now starts at 50 rows
That’s just about it.

There was a requirement before that the webpage needs to be converted to any language that the guest will be coming from.
So I got digging and found the code that will let Google translate convert it on the fly. Take note that this might need a few web source tinkering.
Here it is :
And the output you will see is :
I’m not sure why I cannot copy and paste code to WordPress for now. I am suspecting that you cannot copy <DIV> statements. But soon I will know why. But for now, a screenshot will do.
Now, of course, there is a downside to using this one. The translation going back from Chinese-to-English for example might not yield the same result. Just be careful if you are using words like Parent’s Portal that might be translated as an intergalactic dimension.
Just to be safe, we can keep it to plain or simple words that google can understand.
As always stay safe

Hi guys, I’m happy to be back inspired to make my own youtube channel and promoting the sharing of knowledge to those who try to survive in this COVID-19 pandemic.
When you see my first video, the screen on Powerpoint seems to have empty spaces on the left and right side of the screen, so I had to research how to make it look like the DVD player version once I upload it to youtube.
My goal is to use PowerPoint presentations and background music to share what I know and how to solve daily problems in computers.
Here are the steps :
Now your excel should look like this one
And for those who are curious on what software I use to convert Powerpoint into Movie is that i use Ppt To Video Convert.
Comment below and let me know there’s anything I can help.

Hi guys,
I have been trying out free VPN and so far Winscribe offers 10GB of bandwidth for its free users. I was able to download and install it on my Win10 PC as well as in my Google Chrome as an extension.
Hopefully, it lasts me for a month. But i doubt. We’ll see how it turns out.
For the promo of 10GB per month, it only starts of as 2GB. To get to 10GB you need to register your email and verify it.
So far what I learned is when you initially open it, Viber would have issues with the PORT monitoring and will jack up your CPU usage to 100%. Once you allow it by disabling the PORT being used, everything goes back to normal in the Task Manager.
So far observing before recommending. We need to make our connections secure especially now with wifi hacking and working-from-home scenarios being prevalent in this COVID-19 epidemic.
I’m still hopeful that we can still come out of this era and once again enjoy the fresh air of beaches and resorts.
Till my next update

This was recently a problem that I encountered and the first thought that came to my mind was to uninstall and re-install acrobat reader.
Try as I might, the error message persisted. Then I tried to look at the shortcut settings and still no answer.
Finally, I found the solution:
1- Close Reader
2- Hold down Windows key and press R on your keyboard, this will bring up Run dialogue box.
3- Type regedit in the run dialogue box and hit Enter, click Yes when User Account Control pop-up appears.
4- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options, delete the key AcroRd32.exe
5- Relaunch Reader
Note : just in case you are like me who didn’t find the Image File Execution Options, what I did in regedit was to use the ‘Find’ command.
After a few skips, I finally found it. I also removed an additional folder in the registry with the _info extension. True enough, after that, Acrobat reader is now working.
Hope you enjoyed
