When a certificate is "untrusted" by IE (such as a self-signed certificate), it displays a "Certificate error" icon next to the address bar. It used to be that you can click on that icon, "View certificates", then install it.
On Windows 7, because of UAC , the "Install Certificate..." button is no longer displayed. In order to see the button, you have to start IE9 with administrator privileges: right click on the IE9 shortcut icon and select " Run as administrator... ".
To save the certificate to a file, click the Details tab on the Certificate dialog, then click " Copy to File... ".

My Dell laptop wasn't able to use an external monitor after a week's vacation. The symptoms were:
No response when pressing Fn+F8 to swtich displays.
"No signal" on external monitor.
Bring up "Screen Resolution" dialog, only one monitor is avaiable.
Click "Advanced settings" in "Screen Resolution" dialog, Adapter Type displays "VgaSave".
There's no "Display adapters" section in Device Manager .
Solution: re-install the video display driver. My laptop came with Nvidia GPU so I reinstalled the Nvidia driver. Download the driver pack from Dell. The Windows 7 CAB file is about 1GB, which indludes all kinds of drivers.

My C drive was seriously fragmented with about 20% free space. So I ran the built-in Windows disk defrag utility. To my surprise it doesn't work at all! I tried to defragment multiple times and every time it comes back without doing much work. Then I realized that perhaps it didn't know how to get the job done and needed some help. Here's the list of things I did to help the defragmentor out: Relocate the paging file to a different drive and reboot. If the paging file ( pagefile.sys ) is seriously fragmented, it can't be defragmented, and in turn it blocks other files from being defragmented. If you only have one drive (C:), try to make it smaller or eliminate it entirely for...

You get this error when you are trying to compile with JDK 1.5 (class version 49), but your dependency was compiled by JDK 1.6 (class version 50). Check the JAVA_HOME setting, and make sure it's pointing to JDK 1.6. On Unix, use
set | grep -i java_home
On Windows, just
set JAVA_HOME

1. Install windows resource kit .
2. Install srvany as a service:
C:\tools\putty>instsrv ssh_tunnel "C:\Program File...
3. Edit the following registry template to suite your environment:

4. Import the registry entry.
5. Start the service with "net start ssh_tunnel" or from the services applet.
You may choose to use a batch file for srvany (instead of plink.exe ), but you won't be able to shut down the tunnel when you stop the service.
Also, if the Windows SYSTEM user cannot see the host key for SSH connection, the tunnel cannot be established.

Suddenly my Windows XP failed to boot with this error message on a blank screen:
missing or corrupt <windows root>\system32\hal.dll I took out the hard drive, put it in a USB enclosure and attached it to another PC. Then I ran CHKDSK and it fixed some file system errors. But I did find that hal.dll was intact, so hal.dll was not missing or corrupt . It turned out that the file that was really missing was C:\boot.ini . It is a hidden file, so you have to use attrib boot.ini to see it. The file is missing if attrib boot.ini returns nothing (run in the root folder C:\). In my case I reconstructed the boot.ini file: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)dis... and changed the attributes back...
