Microsoft Windows must-haves.

I have been using Windows OS for quite sometime now, or shall I say-all my life.

Currently on a genuine Windows 7 Starter pack.

Yeah, my dinosaur HP Compaq can't handle anything higher or shall I say I am such a simple gal. I even want XP forever if only my current employer would allow me so. OK, I am talking too much. I want to give you hilist of essentials to maintain a non-bullshitty PC.

1. Microsoft Security Essentials. Forget those branded and known free anti-viruses and malwares. Keep it simple, you are running a Microdoft OS so this shall and it works. It is not annoying.

2. Screen Capture.
3. Chrome Browser and Extensions

-Acrobat Reader/ PDF Reader

- Ad-block

-Youtube Ad-block

( Go figure how to add Exensions in Chrome, pm me or just Google it. 
4. CC Cleaner (to cleanup Registry)

5. VLC Player

6. Apps such as Line, Viber and WeChat for PC if you are user of those chat apps. It is good to have mobile apps running on your PC so you can save your smartphone battery life.

7. uTorrent if you like downloading movies etc. but if not just do online streaming. I recommend Putlocker. Make sure shockwave is enabled in your browser.

Oh please, just those 7, okay. If you're not a student or you don't have a need to MS Office, just uninstall it.

You can do Office works using your Google Account via Google Docs. Please go to Control Panel now and remove those shitty unessential applications that can eat your memory and cause your PC to be real slow.

UBUNTU

Tried it for a day. It was almost perfect until terminal hits me to go here and there.

Oh well, worth it if you are patient.

Facebook Messenger on PC

Using Facebook on web browser for messaging is really an ugly experience. 
On your browser, preferably Chrome.

Solution??

Go to this URL:

https://www.messenger.com/

Log in and there you go with simple and compact interface!

PrintScr, Screenshot or Print Screen problem?

Problem:  Can't use the PrntScr key on my keyboard.


Solution:
If you have Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate you should have Snipping Tool installed.

To find Snipping tool:
Start button . In the search box, type Snipping Tool, and then, in the list of results, click Snipping Tool.
It looks like this:




Highlight page or area that you wanna "snip" or screenshot.

That's it!!! 
You should be able to do it too!

RANTS

Rants, rants and rants.

Sometimes you need it free

Best things in life? Not 100% free, but..ALMOST!
Free internet using Ultrasurf 10.10 software and SMART Prepaid Plug-it Modem
What you'll need:
1. SMART Broadband Plug-it Prepaid
2. SMART Buddy Sim (to get connected, you need at least P9 load
credit, this expires so you need to maintain the balance everyday for
unlimited surfing, not bad, considering it's P50/day for unlimited
surfing.
a little savvy tip: Try using SMART's Load Wallet for non expiring load.
3.Utrasurf 10.10 software. Download it here:
http://www.ultrareach.com/download_en.htm
4. Browser: Mozilla Firefox preferred.
STEPS:
1. Make sure you're not running any program that requires internet
data onto your PC (eg. BitTorrent, uTorrent, Yahoo Messenger, Skype,
MSN messenger, Google Talk) or else your 9 peso credit may be charge
for it so stop running programs first until you get this all set.
2.Remove SMART Bro SIM card from your SMART Broadband modem. Insert
SMART Buddy SIM.
3. Open SMART BRO modem program like you use to. Wait until it reads
your SMART Buddy Sim.
4. Click the Wrench button where the Network Setup is, Click Config,
make a new connection by clicking Add
Fill up the following:
Config name: Whatever name you want (Ex. MyFreeInternet)
Dial: *99#
apn: internet
Leave the rest of the setting as it is.

Click OK, then set the added connection you just made as Default.
Click Connect button as usual. Wait until you successfully connect.
 NEXT STEPS:

Now start running ULTRASURF 10.10

ULTRASURF SETUP:
1. Click Option
Check boxes: Do not USe IE
Hide Golden Lock
Click "Proxy Settings"
Select "Manual Proxy Settings"
Set it up with this:
Proxy Host: proxy.smartbro.net
Proxy Port: 8080
Click OK

Click Exit then Start ULTRASURF once more.
Wait until it says: "Successfully connected to server!"









 -----------------------------NEXT NEXT THING:




But...WAIT, do not open your browser yet, you needed to setup your
browser's Proxy too!
Mozilla Firefox
Options->Advance->Network
Proxy: 127.0.0.1
Port: 9666
Google Chrome
Option-Under the Hood->Network
Click Setting
Proxy: 127.0.0.1
Port: 9666
Warning: Google Chrome resets proxy server every time you get
disconnected from either modem or Ultrasurf so watch out for this.
Better stick on using Mozilla Firefox.
To use software or programs like Yahoo Messenger, you should set its
proxy first before trying to login. Same thing with Torrent programs.
Just find where is the Network setup and there you can see proxy
settings.
