I own a 4-years-old DVB-T stick (Freecom DVB-T 27442 hybrid USB) and a Windows 7 64bit notebook. Of course there are no supported drivers for the stick, and I couldn’t get it to run, until I found the following program:
Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (find it here: NDOHQ.com)

When asked for a driver for the pluged-in stick, I pointed Windows 7 to the 64bit Vista drivers. They were installed, but Windows still refused to use the device, as one of the driver/sys-files was not signed.
So I used the dseo.exe from the link above to fake the missing signature.
After restart, I plugged in the DVB-T stick, and it worked like a charme.

Isn’t this nice?

Wir werden in unserem Blog die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten  von MS Surface in verschiedenen Branchen aufzeigen. Da Microsoft Surface die Datenaufbereitung für beratungsintensive Gespräche vereinfacht, beginnen wir unsere Serie in den Financial Industries.

Als erstes Beispiel eine Applikation zur Zukunftsvorsorge der Groupama Group. Dieses Beispiel zeigt wie mit dreidimensionalen Objekten das Angebot “begreifbar” gemacht werden kann und verschiedene Parameter geändert werden können. Das  Gesamtergebnis wird dabei im Hintergrund immer gleich aktualisiert.

Mittlerweile können wir Lösungen, wie die hier gezeigten so entwickeln, dass die Lösung nicht nur auf Surface, sondern auch auf Windows 7 touch/multitouch oder als Silverlight Lösung im Browser laufen kann (mit minimalen Unterschieden in der Benutzerführung).

Im nächsten Beispiel, das auf der CeBit 2010 von der deutschen Sparkassen Gruppe vorgestellt wurde, kann sogar ein Vertragsabschluss am Tisch selbst erfolgen.

I you get this error on Win7-64 with the new Visual Studio 2010 :

Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: vcsexpress.exe
Fault Module Name: 3xAVCore.dll

then its the fault of MySpeed from Enounce
(a very handy tool with which you can watch Flash in variable speeds)
A quick workaround is to rename the dll, which will stop Myspeed from working but also fixes the Error.

today I got an error running my vm XP on Windows 7 everytime resuming XP (Hibernate).
After a short search in the web I found several ways to fix this issue, but non worked.

My VM just was not responding, all I saw was the login screen of XP.

So if you got the same problem just do as follows:

  1. go to your Virtual Machines directory
  2. select the VM with the integration feature problem
  3. right click –> Settingsimage
  4. Set “Close” to “Turn off”image
  5. restart VM (ignoring integration feature error)
  6. after logins creen is visible just close the VM
    image

After the shutdown everything worked fine again.

Good news: In former times you had to disable System Restore, exchange some dlls n’stuff. Today Windows 7 allows you to change the background of the Logon Screen pretty easy:

It’s only the the following 2 steps:
1) set the value of the registry key from 0 to 1: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background\OEMBackground (dword)
2) copy the desired new background image named “backgroundDefault.jpg” into C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds

Et voilà: the background has changed without any restart!

Note: create the registry key or folder, if it does not exist!
Note2: imagesize may not exceed 256k !

As a .NET Developer:
Ever tried to find out more information about your computer’s system?
Ever needed a list of connected USB-Devices, available Serial Ports or Printers?
Ever heard of WMI?
Did you know, it’s also supported by Mono?

There’s a free tool from Microsoft, which is of great help navigating through namespaces, classes and their properties called “WMI Code Creator“.
This tool offers the possibility to create C#, VB.Net & VBScript code.

WMICodeCreator

download here (it’s free!)

Wird in Windows 7 oder Windows 2008 R2 als Desktophintergrund eine Volltonfarbe festgelegt, wird die Willkommenseite möglicherweise für 30 Sekunden angezeigt.

Das Problem ist bekannt und ich habe den von Microsoft bereitgestellten Hotfix  gefunden.
