How to make PowerPoint widescreen to 16:9 or 16:10 to post to YouTube

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 :

  1. Select the Design tab of the toolbar ribbon.
  2. Select the Slide Size Slide Size icon near the far right end of the toolbar.
  3. Select Standard (4:3 aspect ratio) or Widescreen (16:9) or Custom Slide Size.

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.

VPN Winscribe Free 10GB per Month

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

Windows cannot find “c:\…..\AcroRd32.exe”. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again.

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

How to access the BIOS Lenovo Z400 model

Hi guys

After trying some time to get this bad boy to work, I tried all of the old tactics from pressing the F8 or F2 or F1 keys. With LENOVO, it takes a little reading to get to the bottom of it. I was planning to format my friend’s laptop PC.

There is a small button at the side near the power cable. You need to turn off the laptop first and then press the button before you turn on the laptop.

Well, that’s it. I was able to get a pic of the side of the laptop. Will post it here for reference. Eventually, before I formatted the laptop, its a good practice to back up the files so that we can return them just the way it was.

Enjoy

Delphi – Create a single instance of your app

Hi guys. After searching for a while on how to lock and limit the app clicking. And this is now possible.

Here is the code for the main project file

program Project2;

 

uses

Forms, Windows, Messages, Dialogs,

Unit1 in ‘Unit1.pas’ {Form1};

 

{$R *.res}

 

function CreateSingleInstance(const InstanceName: string): boolean;

var

MutexHandle: THandle;

begin

MutexHandle := CreateMutex(nil, false, PChar(InstanceName));

// if MutexHandle created check if already exists

if (MutexHandle <> 0) then

begin

if GetLastError = ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS then

begin

Result := false;

CloseHandle(MutexHandle);

end

else Result := true;

end

else Result := false;

end;

 

var

MyInstanceName: string;

begin

MyInstanceName := ‘Project2’;

Application.Initialize;

// Initialize MyInstanceName here

if CreateSingleInstance(MyInstanceName) then

begin

// Form creation

Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);

Application.Run;

end

else Application.Terminate;

end.

Windows 10 : How to switch from VGA to HDMI on the same PC

On a windows 10 computer, sometimes you have an HDMI port and a VGA port. Normally, you only have 1 monitor. When you try to plug both ports together, windows guesses you have 2 monitors so when you scroll to the right, the mouse disappears.

Now if you remove the VGA cable you will see a black screen. The secret is the Windows+P key. When you press this button, the system automatically switches to HDMI port. Please note that this step would take around 10 seconds to kick-in.

At first I thought it did not work. But patience is truly a virtue.

InterBase Database Maximum User Connections

I got this quote from the operational guide itself.

* Maximum number of clients connected to one server

There is no single number for the maximum number of clients the InterBase server can serve—it depends on a combination of factors including capability of the operating system, limitations of the hardware, and the demands that each client puts on the server.

2018 Philippines – Globe , Smart , Sun – Mobile Numbers

As we text and call people, we need to know what network or telecommunication they are so that we don’t go overboard on extended calls and crossing over. Like for me, when I call a Globe number I don’t get charged since I am using a Globe Postpaid Plan. But if I call a Smart number, that is the time I get charged.

For now, here is my own compilation for the 2018 Philippines Globe / Smart / Sun Cellular telephone numbers.
