So .. wanted to see an AVI movie (backup ofcourse) on my newly installed media center, but after installing Win7 on my MCE it didt show subs, after some search on the www i found this solution,

On Win7 32bit;
1) Rename the MP3DMOD.DLL file in system32 folder to MP3DMOD_bak.DLL
2) Take ownership of mfpmp.exe in system32 folder
It may require you to have full ownership of the file, a guide to that is right here: Take Ownership Guide

On Win7 64bit:
1) Rename the MP3DMOD.DLL file in windows\syswow64 folder to MP3DMOD_bak.DLL
2) Take ownership of mfpmp.exe in system32 folder, not rename, just ownership

This may disable playback of mp3 files on your system, but as far as i can read, you can copy this file from vista and that should fix the problem, i will try to locate the files from my friends pc so all of you can leech it from my site.

The dns host of nordic-t is down, and you cant “open” the page unless you use this fix (unless they fixed the problem)

1) open: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in your favorite txt editor
2) add this to the file:

212.63.219.147 nordic-t.org
212.63.206.36 betty.nordic-t.org
81.17.247.12 irc.nordic-t.org

If you are running vista you might get a permission error, in that case, follow these steps first:

1) Right-click the file and select Properties.
2) Click on the Security tab.
3) Click Advanced in the lower right.
4) In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the Owner tab.
5) Click Edit.
6) Click Other users or groups.
7) Click Advanced in the lower left corner.
Click Find Now.
9) Scroll through the results and double-click on your current user account.
10) Click OK to all of the remaining windows except the first Properties window.
11) Select your user account from the list up top and click Edit.
12) Select your user account from the list up top again and then in the pane below, check Full control under Allow, or as much control as you need.
You’ll get a security warning, click Yes.

Danish ISP have blocked TPB in the dns’s so users cant access it, to change that, open the file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts the file is a regular txt file, so just open it with your favorite editor (notepad <3) and append this to the file:

All done
The reason this works is because it dosnt use your dns servers to query the above domains, it asks the hosts file first

This error also applies for previous versions of windows, but its the first time i saw it since i became a beta tester for Windows 7
The problem is that there is a local policy blocking all in the guest account to access the computers share.
(seeing that the guest account is allready active)
but what i did to edit the policy;
1- Make sure the guest account is enabled
:Right click My Computer
->Manage
-> Local users and groups
-> UsersRight click on the account “guest” and select properties
->Make sure the box “Account is Disabled” is NOT checked. 2 Set correct local security policy:Start the “local security policy” console. (Under Administratove Tools, in the control panel)
->Go to: Local Policies
-> User right assignements
->Go to item 13: “Deny access to this computer from the network”.
->Right click it and go to Properties
->Remove the “Guest” account from the list, and OK
->Go next to to item 1: “Access this computer from the network”
->Right click it and go to Properties
->Add the “Guest” account to the list and OK.

Simple as this:


Private Function RandomNumberAsString(ByVal Min As Int32, ByVal Max As Int32) As String
Return (New Random).Next(Min, Max).ToString
End Function


Example:
msgbox(RandomNumberAsString(2, 99))

Will open a dialog with a number between 2 and 99

This code allows you to pause your script, and allows it to do other stuff either than stop the entire app like sleep does:

Sub Delay(ByVal dblSecs As Double)
