How To Fix The Blue Screen Of Death For Windows XP, Vista And 7
How to fix the blue screen of death? If BSOD appears once too often, it is time to perform a quick scan on your computer, it is always advisable to diagnosis the problem as soon as possible, prevention is always better than curing. Imagine losing important data in your hard disk.
Blue Screen Of Death Error And Possibilities
- Software – Probably due to software IO error or a bad driver, usually this can be solved via reformatting the computer or reinstalling the specific driver.
- Hardware – Based on my own experience, this is usually something to do with memory leak. It can be a bad sector in a hard disk, faulty RAM, some components in the motherboard is not in good condition. If blue screen of death appeared while formatting or reinstalling Windows, this is definitly a hardware problem. If you have more than 2 RAMs, remove one of them and start all over, if BSOD appears, it means that RAM is faulty, if BSOD does not appear, repeat the process with the other RAM.

Windows 7 Virtual Wireless Router, Create Virtual WiFi Hotspot
How to create a free wifi hotspot via a virtual router? I wrote about Connectify, the free Virtual Router for Windows 7. For your information, Connectify is a simple application that enables you to share your internet connection by via a ‘Virtual Wifi’ feature hidden in Windows 7.
Virtual Router is yet another Windows 7 Virtual Hotspot software, unlike Connectify, Virtual Router is free and open source.
Virtual Router turns any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer into a Wifi Hot Spot using Windows 7’s Wireless Hosted Network (Virtual Wifi) technology. The Wireless Network create/shared with Virtual Router uses WPA2 Encryption, and there is not way to turn off that encryption. This is actually a feature of the Wireless Hosted Network API’s built into Windows 7 and 2008 R2 to ensure the best security possible.
Nobody knows why this feature is not enabled in Windows 7, it could have been a huge selling point, they must have their own reason or this ‘hotspot’ feature is meant for Service Pack 1.
