Gtalk crashes when “show current music” is selected

Posted by cognoscis on 2nd February 2009

Problem : When you set your status message to show the current track being played on winamp, your gtalk craches, or freezes and does not respond

Solution : I found this one to work the best

  • Exit Winamp and Google Talk
  • Open notepad, keep blank document.
    Note: you should be administrator before you run. Vista users can right click and run as administrator.
  • Save the blank file in PROGRAMFILES\Winamp\ folder and give the name winamp.m3u
  • Vista users, save it in the folder PROGRAMFILES(X86)\Winamp\ and as above, name it as winamp.m3u for x64 OS.
  • Open Winamp and Google Talk again.

The application will work well now :)

Desktop items wont show up on startup – XP

Posted by cognoscis on 2nd February 2009

Problem: When you switch on the computer, your system starts the boot process normally. You will also get the logon screen and when you do log into your account, you get your beautiful background picture and… thats it. Nothing else loads.

Solution: Lots of sites gave a lot of solution of scanning with antivirus and all. I did all that and realised that there is no virus in my system at all. Then finally I thought of this one.

  • When you log into your system, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to start the task manager
  • Then in the Application tab, press new task..
  • In the new window that opens up type “msconfig” without the quotes and press enter
  • In the new window that opens up, in the General tab under the startup selection select the option that says Normal startup.
  • Press Apply >> OK. It will ask if it may reboot. Say yes to that.

This is what solved my problem. Hope this helps you as well
