WinRAR
RAR (WinRAR Download Free), the powerful archiver and archive manager (Win32, Linux, Mac)

WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives.http://www.us-experts.com winrar

WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well.

WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).

WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognizes
and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.

WinRAR allows you to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save them on several disks for example.http://www.e-msjed.com winrar

WinRAR is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web. Its 128 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for.

WinRAR is shareware, meaning you have the chance to thoroughly test it. The program can be used absolutely free of charge for 40 days!

WinRAR licenses are valid for all available language and platform versions. If you have purchased several licenses, you can even mix versions to meet your own personal needs.

Limitations:

· WinRAR is shareware. Anyone may use it during a test period of 40 days. Following this test period or less, if you wish to continue to use WinRAR, you must register.

Whats New in This Release:

· 1. Bugs corrected:
· a) WinRAR shell did not allow to create recovery volumes for locked RAR volumes. Now the recovery volumes option is accessible for both locked and not locked RAR volumes;
· b) WinRAR displayed incorrect sizes for files inside of UDF ISO archives if file size exceeded 4 GB. Such files were unpacked correctly, but their sizes in file list window were displayed wrong

برنامج Windows Live Messenger 9 .0.1407.1107

Windows Live Messenger for Vista Available

The final version of Microsoft’s new IM (instant message) client, which is optimized for Windows Vista, is now out.

Windows Live Messenger 8.1 offers enhancements that make it more compatible with Vista, which had its widespread consumer release earlier this week.

What’s New

Updates in the IM client include new looks for emoticons, contacts and display photos that take advantage of Vista’s new and improved user interface, Microsoft said.

Microsoft also added the ability to send an SMS (Short Message Service) to a phone number or add phone numbers for contacts by clicking on a cell-phone icon in the client’s main window. Also new is the ability to send a personal message when users want to add a new contact to their contact list.

Windows Live Messenger 8.1 also includes a “roaming identity” feature that allows not only a person’s display name to follow users any place they sign into, but also their display picture and personal message.

In addition to new features, the software’s final version corrects a problem users were having with beta versions, according to a post on the Inside Windows Live Messenger blog, which is written by members of the team working on the product.

A user with an old version of Adobe Systems’ Flash technology on Vista used to crash the Windows Live Messenger 8.1 beta client, wrote Nicole Steinbok, product manager for Windows Live Messenger. However, the final version of the software fixes that.

“I still highly recommend you update your Flash player if you haven’t already,” Steinbok wrote in the post. “But if not we have put in an extra safety measure [that] disable features that use Flash and provides you a way to upgrade to eliminate the Flash crash.”

Windows Live Messenger also is available in eight new languages: Bulgarian, Estonian, Croatian, Latvian, Romanian, Serbian Latin, Thai and Ukrainian

AutoCAD 2008

 Description


“Design, visualize, and document your ideas clearly and efficiently with AutoCAD”
AutoCAD 2008 software adds features to help make everyday tasks easier. Annotation scaling and control of layers by viewport minimize workarounds, while text enhancements, multiple leaders, and improved tables help deliver an unmatched level of aesthetic precision and professionalism.

Key features:
Annotation Scaling
AutoCAD 2008 software introduces the concept of annotation scale as an object property. Designers can set the current scale of a viewport or model space view, and then apply that scale to each object and specify its size, placement, and appearance based on the scale set for the viewport. In other words, annotation scale is now automated.

Layers per Viewport
In AutoCAD 2008 the layer manager has been enhanced to allow users to specify color, line weight, linetype, or plot style as an override for an individual viewport. These overrides can be easily turned on or off as viewports are added or removed.

Enhanced Tables
Enhanced tables now give users the option to combine AutoCAD and Excel tabular information into a single AutoCAD table. This table can be dynamically linked so that notifications appear in both AutoCAD and Excel as data is updated. Users can then select these notifications, allowing instant updating of information in either source document.

Text & Table Enhancements
The enhanced MTEXT editor now provides the ability to specify the number of columns required and flows new text between those columns as users make edits. The space set between each column of text and the edge of the paper is also customizable. All of these variables can be adjusted to specific values in the dialog box, or adjusted interactively using the new multicolumn text grips.

Multiple Leaders
The new multiple leader panel on the dashboard has enhanced tools that automate the creation of multiple leaders and the orientation of the leaders (tail or content first) with the notes. you can free download AutoCAD 2008 now.

WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRARs main features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, support for long filenames, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), repair of damaged archives, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. Unicode is supported in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled painlessly. You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives. 

Version 3.71 corrects several bugs and improves processing of corrupt RAR archives.
WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.
Archive file formats supported are ZIP, RAR, ACE, CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, BZ2, UUE, JAR, ISO, 7Z and Z.

If the default XP font size is suddenly looking too large and bold or if the push buttons span out of the dialog box window, you probably deleted a default Windows System Font.

Dont panic – the missing Windows XP Fonts (.fon, .ttf) can be quickly restored to default in few simple steps.

How to restore missing fonts in Windows XP

Approach 1
Perform a repair installation (upgrade) of Windows XP. All existing restore points are removed and a new system checkpoint restore point is created after the in-place upgrade is completed. You need the original Windows XP CD with XP Product key.

Windows Setup will replace any missing, damaged or corrupted font files that is part of Standard Fonts included with Windows XP

• Courier New (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)
• Arial (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)
• Times New Roman (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)
• Wingdings, Symbol (TrueType)
• MS Serif, MS Sans Serif

Approach 2
Reinstalling Windows XP is a time consuming process and may even overwrite some of your custom settings. Heres an easy way.

The following is a list of Fonts (with filenames) that installed by Windows XP. Compare this list with the files in your Windows System fonts folder. If any files is missing, heres how to install it locally from Windows XP installation CD.




Open Command Prompt and go to the i386 folder of your Windows XP CD-ROM. Using the “expand -r” command, copy all the missing .tt_ and .fo_ files to Windows folder.

for .FON font files
expand E:i386Sserife.fo_ C:WindowsFontsSserife.fon

for “.TTF” font files:
expand E:i386Arial.tt_ C:WindowsFontsArial.ttf

Replace C:WindowsFonts with %windir%fonts

Approach 3
Reset the windows default font size to 75%, then back to 100%. Restart the system. Heres how to do the right way.



Open Display in Control Panel. On the Settings tab, click Advanced. On the General tab, in the DPI setting list, click the dots per inch (dpi) setting you want to use.

If you choose Other in the DPI setting list, you can set custom options in the Custom DPI Setting dialog box either by selecting one of the percentage options in the drop-down list or by clicking on the ruler and dragging the pointer to specify a setting. Restart your computer when prompted.

Precautions for handling fonts.

1. Always create a System Restore point before handling Fonts. Incase you delete a wrong font or mess up the Windows Fonts folder, System Restore tool will return your computer to a previous working state.

2. Compare and Delete Fonts with Font Managers, Font Viewers
Removing fonts manually is not recommended as you may end up deleting the important required fonts. Try using a professional Font Management software like Extensis Suitcase Fusion, Adobe Type Manager or Bitstream Font Navigator (part of CorelDRAW X3) for handling Normal, TrueType, OpenType and PostScript fonts.

How will Windows find replacment fonts ?
The Font Substitute settings are stored in the following registry key:

HKLM/software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/FontSubstitutes/

Though, Windows has the ability to find font replacements when a specific font isnt installed, imagine what happens when even the Substitute font is missing. You will then need the original font file.

Reinstalled Windows XP but see Large fonts on screen
See the screenshot. Change the DPI settings by some amount and click apply. Now switch to the original settings and click OK.

When should I delete Windows Fonts ?
If you system has less RAM but millions of fonts, its time to remove those rarely used “fancy decorative fonts” installed by that Greeting Cards software.

How can I change the size of default XP font?
First save your desktop theme to it becomes easy restore the original “behavior” of Windows XP.
Open Display in Control Panel. On the Appearance tab, in Font size, click a new font size. This option enables you to enlarge the fonts used in window headers, icon labels, and menus.



To change the actual font, try changing your default system font to something better in registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutes

The defaults are MS Shell Dlg and MS Shell Dlg 2. Download Windows XP fonts at Adobe Type Center.

 the world of internet application, solutions are greater than products. Individuals and companies are still investing in web technologies, but they are investing in solutions with demonstrated benefits. If you are looking for top-notch ASP hosting solutions that helps you to deliver quick productivity and profitability, you need the necessary hosting foundation and ASP tools to help you plan and achieve your deliverables for your site. So what are the basic requirements that you should look for, in choosing a good ASP hosting company?

1) Use the latest software
As of August 2004, be sure to select hosting provider who uses ASP v3.0, ADO 2.8 MDAC 2.8 and offers optional Microsoft XML 4.0 sp2 running on either IIS5.0 or IIS6.0 so that you can use most of the ASP features to maximize the functionalities of your website.

2) Look for Microsoft certification
Choose hosting providers with the knowledge and proficiency in managing and implementing ASP, ASP.net and other Microsoft related solutions. Any of certification below ensures that your ASP site is backed and support by a team of qualified professionals.

Microsoft Certified Partner
This basic certification builds relevance and value into all the Microsoft tools and resources ensuring your hosting provider continues to maintain their expertise. Although this certification not necessary means the support staff has the qualified knowledge to provide troubleshooting solution, but it proves the companys skill and knowledge.

Microsoft Certified Systems Administrators (MCSAs)
This certification proves that the certified support staff can administer network and systems environments based on the Microsoft Windows® platforms.

Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSEs)
This certification proves that the certified system engineers working in the hosting company has the ability and knowledge to design and implement infrastructure solutions based on the Windows platform and Microsoft Servers software

Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA)
Not many hosting companies employs a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA). Hosting companies who employ a Microsoft Certified Database Administrators can safely provide essential Microsoft SQL Server solution for customers. In another words, a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator has the know-how in designing, implementing, and administrating Microsoft SQL Server™ databases

Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD)
Most talented founders of many North American hosting companies started with these certification on hand to offer ASP hosting services. This premier certification proves the individual has the proficiency in designing and developing leading-edge business solutions using Microsoft development tools and technologies as well as the Microsoft .NET Framework.
 


3) Check the PHP, Perl & MYSQL details
At some point in time when you are designing or developing your website, you may want to consider integrating and running certain sub folders or web pages using PHP instead. This can be particular true when you want to develop high-end forum. ASP may have all the features to do a very accepting forum, but integrating ASP with MS Access database may just be too clumsy since it has very limited concurrent user sessions. While you can consider integrating it with SQL server, but the end of the implementation, you may just abandon it to find out SQL server is just too pricy for a forum. On certain internet application, the most cost effective implementation may not be ASP. Hence, consider hosting companies that offer PHP, Perl and MySQL database as part of the plan. Please note that MySQL database and Microsoft SQL server is a different database system. Read the details carefully before you sign up.

4) Provide you at least 15 useful ASP components.

Make sure that you check the default ASP components can be used as well. Most hosting companies provide you the option to register components. Make sure this is allowed. Download this script and run it on your site to view the available components in your hosting account.

5) Offers SQL Server option
In terms of sheer database dependability and power, it doesnt get much better than the relational database, Microsoft SQL Server. Be sure to ask if the plan consists of MS SQL Server. You may not need it at the moment since MS Access is available. But dont be too sure. You possibly will, when your site traffic grows bigger than 2000 unique visitors per day. If your choose a better ASP hosting account, most probably MS SQL server is included. If you are familiar with MS Access, you can easily understand how to use MS SQL Server. So make sure MS SQL Server is part of your hosting plan. Take note that MS SQL Server Express 2005 will be out soon to reduce the complexity for build simple application websites.

6) Remote Management
Instead of informing the support staff to handle your data configuration, to some extend, many data can be controlled remotely. These tools helps you to increase efficiency and productivity in managing your site. Be sure that these tools below are included in your hosting plan. Most of it are included in their control panel. Please ask for a test on the control panel.

-Email Management

Only a few ASP hosting providers offer these remote management tools;

7) MS Frontpage & E-commerce Enabled
If you have not designed websites before or even if you are an expert web designer, MS Frontpage is a very useful tool to help you manage your website productively. Although there are more than 3 dozens of effective HTML editors available on the market, MS Frontpage is the most installed HTML editor, site management and file transfer software in the hosting industry today. Prepare to learn how to use this tool. If MS Frontpage is not working at any point of your development, check with your provider if Visual Studio .NET Upload, Microsoft Web Matrix Project, or Macromedia DreamWeaver or NetObjects Fusion can be used to upload your data.

Secondly, check with your hosting provider if ecommerce script is enabled. These ecommerce scripts are free of charge and can be downloaded, but your hosting provider should have this script in your account when you sign up. Although it is not necessary important to jump start your website development, but it may just come handy when you want web users or companies to purchase or make payment for a product or service from you.

8) Good Email solutions
When I signed up with my hosting provider 4 years ago, there wasnt any spam blocking filtering solutions offered. In fact, there was no anti-virus software at all. It was so bad that I have to filter at least 350 unwanted emails a day. 4 years has past and I believe all hosting companies should included this very features in their system. If your account is not getting one of these tools, you may just be wasting a lot of time managing your emails. One of the simplest email integration system available on the market is CDO/CDOSYS (Mail Objects). It comes with IIS 5.0 or IIS6.0. You can use this to develop a lot application to utilize the Mail server in IIS. Check with your provider make sure that this ASP component is enabled. Also, be sure that your email accounts can be administered, read and maintained remotely through a browser. Write and save the login, incoming & outgoing email settings and password in your computer. At some point in time, you may forget your email logins especially when you switch to a new a computer or may just have too many email accounts like me

9) Disk & Data Transfer
Well, I did mentioned about basic hosting requirements in this article, hence I shall stick to the basics. I would suggest at least 120MB of disk space and 3.5 GB of bandwidth allowance for starters. If your site is growing in terms of traffic, see my other article on bandwidth allowance to estimate the amount of data transfer required. If your site is growing in terms of data and web pages, calculate the estimate number of web pages you intend to have and multiple it with the average web page size that you have on your site. To increase website management efficiency, we suggest that you stored records in MS Access or MySQL.

Here is good tip. If you are reading this article, ask some extra features for the things you really want from the ASP hosting providers and always negotiate the price with them.

10) Domain Pointer
A domain pointer allows you to register multiple domain names and have them all point to the same website. This is one of the very useful feature you can use to integrate with your ASP script. You can detect a certain domain name and direct it to certain subfolders. Why you want to use it? This simple service saves you a lot of hosting cost when you have more than one domain names that need to be hosted. There are some hosting providers that may charge you more than US$40 for a domain pointer. Avoid any charges above US$40 per domain pointer. Any hosting providers that charge a hefty amount for a simple service is not really a hosting company that is prepare to be your online partner.

Conclusion
Get at least 2 different browser ( Not included in hosting ~smile~)
How many times have you seen the message, “HTTP 500 – Internal Server Error” or ” The Page Cannot be Displayed” every time you tried to run your .asp web page? When you use Internet Explorer, that is what you get. The error message at times are not specific enough to facilitate you in debuging or troubleshooting ASP errors. You need a different browser to develop your ASP website. Try Netscape and you will get a proper error message when an error occurs.
