Software Windows Error Lookup Tool (WELT) 3.0.4 FREEWARE

Windows Error Lookup Tool (WELT) 3.0.4

Simple enough, windows will display a value in either Decimal or Hex for Win32, HRESULT, NTSTATUS and STOP error codes (For the Developer, this can be the return value of an API call or from GetLastError). Type in an error code and WELT will display the Facility, Status, Code, Define, and Description for the error.

How To Know Beep Code Manual in AMI & Phoenix BIOS

Beep Code Manual, Better Than Gold Techies, American Megatrends Int. & Phoenix
BIOS Beep Codes


When a computer is first turned on, or rebooted, its BIOS performs a power-on self test (POST) to test the system's hardware, checking to make sure that all of the system's hardware components are working properly. Under normal circumstances, the POST will display an error message; however, if the BIOS detects an error before it can access the video card, or if there is a problem with the video card, it will produce a series of beeps, and the pattern of the beeps indicates what kind of problem the BIOS has detected.
Because there are many brands of BIOS, there are no standard beep codes for every BIOS.


The two most-used brands are AMI (American Megatrends International) and Phoenix.


Below are listed the beep codes for AMI systems, and here are the beep codes for Phoenix systems.



AMI Beep Codes


Beep Code Meaning
1 beep DRAM refresh failure. There is a problem in the system memory or the motherboard.
2 beeps Memory parity error. The parity circuit is not working properly.
3 beeps Base 64K RAM failure. There is a problem with the first 64K of system memory.
4 beeps System timer not operational. There is problem with the timer(s) that control functions on the motherboard.
5 beeps Processor failure. The system CPU has failed.
6 beeps Gate A20/keyboard controller failure. The keyboard IC controller has failed, preventing gate A20 from switching the processor to protect mode.
7 beeps Virtual mode exception error.
8 beeps Video memory error. The BIOS cannot write to the frame buffer memory on the video card.
9 beeps ROM checksum error. The BIOS ROM chip on the motherboard is likely faulty.
10 beeps CMOS checksum error. Something on the motherboard is causing an error when trying to interact with the CMOS.
11 beeps Bad cache memory. An error in the level 2 cache memory.
1 long beep, 2 short Failure in the video system.
1 long beep, 3 short A failure has been detected in memory above 64K.
1 long beep, 8 short Display test failure.
Continuous beeping A problem with the memory or video.
BIOS Beep Codes




Phoenix Beep Codes


Phoenix uses sequences of beeps to indicate problems. The "-" between each number below indicates a pause between each beep sequence. For example, 1-2-3 indicates one beep, followed by a pause and two beeps, followed by a pause and three beeps. Phoenix version before 4.x use 3-beep codes, while Phoenix versions starting with 4.x use 4-beep codes. Click here for AMI BIOS beep codes.

Bagaimana Cara bermain Sega Dreamcast Di PC Anda

Hai, Ingin bermain Sega Dreamcast game pada PC Anda? Tidak masalah cukup ikuti tutorial langkah demi langkah ini dengan screenshot yang menjelaskan cara untuk bermain Sega Dreamcast tersebut. Sekarang saya akan membagikan beberapa Tehnik cara agar bermain Sega Dreamcast di PC kesayangan anda sendiri.. berikut langkah"nya...

STEP 1 – Download the emulator

This first thing you have to do is to download the emulator. The most recently updated and therefore the most likely to be operational on newer PCs is NullDC. You can download the zip file at this LINK. Let’s say you’re using Windows 7 and downloaded the file to the Downloads folder: C:\Users\<your_username>\Downloads.

STEP 2 – Unzip the emulator archive

You need a software like WinRAR to extract the files. Just right click and select “Extract to nullDC_104_r136″:



STEP 3 – Download BIOS dump

The emulator needs an image of console BIOS in order to start. You can download Dremacast image on get-your-rom.com: LINK.

STEP 4 – Unzip Dreamcast archive

Unzip the archive, just like you did with the emulator. This time is better to choose “Extract here” because there is already a folder name “Dreamcast” in the archive which contains the files.

STEP 5 – Copy the required files

The next thing you need to do is to copy the emulator files from BIOS dump folder to theemulator’s data folder. If you saved and extracted your files in the Downloads directory, do as follows:
Go to C:\Users\<your_user_name>\Dreamcast\
Select the files “DC – BIOS.bin” and “DC – Flash.bin”. Click copy.
Go to C:\Users\<your_user_name>\nullDC_104_r136\data
Paste the files



STEP 6 – Rename the files
Go to C:\Users\<your_user_name>\nullDC_104_r136\data
Rename “DC -BIOS.bin” to “dc_boot.bin”
Rename “DC – FLASH.bin” to “dc_flash.bin”

STEP 7 – Download some games :)

Try this site: http://www.get-your-rom.com/isos/dc-sega-dreamcast

STEP 8 – Start the emulator
Go to C:\Users\<your_user_name>\nullDC_104_r136\data
Double click “nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe”



STEP 9 – Select the game’s image file

Click File -> Normal boot, then the button with the 3 dots to select the file.



STEP 10 – PLAY THE GAME! :)

And voilà – that’s it! Congratulations! You are now able to play Sega Dreamcast games on your PC. If you want to configure or check out the controls, just click click Options>Maple>Port A> Config keys to player 1.



Here is a screenshot of the game Crazy Taxi 2 played on PC:



You should be aware that the emulator is still in development and therefore some bugs and malfunctions are very likely to appear. Like they say on the project’s home page:

In simple words, this is pre-alpha quality software at best and various parts in it might be broken at any given time.

Have a nice gaming!

How To Change the Default Font in Microsoft Excel

How To Change the Default Font in Microsoft Excel

Is there a way to remove unwanted fonts from the Windows 7 Fonts directory? I am the newsletter editor for our church newsletter, and Excel is driving me crazy with its Kartika font. Each time I try to type info in a calendar cell, Excel defaults to Kartika.

Well, Jackolyn, this is actually two different questions. You can certainly uninstall fonts from Windows, but that won't get to the root of your problem, which is that the default font in Excel has somehow changed.

To delete any font, do this:

1. Click Start, type fonts, and then click Fonts when it appears in the search results.

2. Find the font you want to delete, right-click it, and then choose Delete.

However, as I noted, I don't think this will accomplish your main goal, which is to change the font Excel uses by default. If you're using Excel 2010, do this:

1. Click File, Options, General.

2. Under the section labeled "When creating new workbooks," click the pull-down next to "Use this font" and choose the one you want. (Calibri is the standard default, and probably the one you were accustomed to.)

3. Click OK and you're done.

If you're using Excel 2007, you'll click the big round Office button in the upper-left corner, then Excel Options. The other steps should be the same.
