Remove printer on Windows 7

I have a problem. Once I used a printer "A" on my Windows 7. However, after upgrading to a new one, I wanted to removed printer "A" properties together with the driver from my laptop. However, no matter how many times I removed it, rebooted my laptop again, it seems like the printer reappears...

So, how to remove it? I found this solution online. Hopefully this will help us in the future.

Step by step:

1. Click Start > Run > cmd.exe
2. Right-click on cmd, "Run as Administrator"
3. Run the printui tool: c:\Windows\system32>printui /s /t2
4. Select the "installed printers drivers" that u hate and click Remove... If that doesn't work...
   
5. Click Start > Run > Services.msc
6. Locate the Print Spooler, right click > Stop
7. Open folder c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers (just click OK to access)
8. Delete all the contents of that folder
9. Locate the Print Spooler, right click > Start
10. Back to step 3 and 4

Services.msc

Tadaaaaaa..... It really works for me and other computers that I work on that running on Windows 7. How about u guys?

Should have noticed it before

It has been few years back when I, my wife and friends graduated from our Master of Science degree from University Putra Malaysia. It was indeed a special and memorable day after struggling for quite sometimes during the studies. Those memories however faded throughout the years as life goes on.

However, as I click on the UPM Postgraduate student site last night to register for next semester subjects for my PhD studies, I was stunned...!!! Did you guys see something special below?

Look carefully on the picture under Admission Section, where potential student for Online Admission Application to School of Graduate Studies should go to. Look at the picture deeply...

Wicked...

It was the picture of my lovely wife Salfarina, and comrades Nurazlin, Nabil and Zaida from the class of 2006. Wow...!!! our memories were abruptly taken to a few years back. Thanks to the admin for the remembrance. Really appreciate it.

Happy fasting month

To all the Muslims...

Wishing you a blessed Ramadhan. May the blessing of Allah shower on us

Success in installing Blackberry OS

I've problem with my new Blackberry Curve 8520, and the solution is to reinstall the OS. So, I went to hand phone repair shop just to ask the price for reinstalling the OS. Surprisingly, the cost is around RM70 - RM150. Emmmm... better do-it myself i figured.

So if any of you guys need to reformat/reinstall/reload (or whatever you call it) OS on your BB, you might follow these steps. It was so easy and just take about 10-30 minutes of your time. And you must use a Windows Computer.

Firstly:
You must have Blackberry Desktop Software and the Blackberry OS on your computer. If you don't have it, download it. Don't forget to install the software (just double-click and click next-next-next... bla bla bla...).

Secondly:
DO NOT connect your BB to the computer yet and TAKE OFF the battery as well. Open your file browser and go here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

Click on the Loader. The app loader wizard will come up. Click next. Once you on this page, connect the BB to your computer immediately (No battery yet).

Once it get connected, and the connection change from COM1 to USB-PIN:UNKNOWN, immediately click Next >. This will stop your blackberry from the constant reboot/restart phase and allows you to reload the Operating System.

Now put the battery back in and battery cover back on (Make Sure you install the battery or else when the OS update is completing and the device disconnects from the computer to reboot, it will lose the power provided by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to do it all over again!).

Thirdly:
If it's done correctly, you are on your way to having your BlackBerry up and running again. Choose the options you want to install on your BlackBerry (BrickBreaker, BlackBerry Messenger, BlackBerry Maps, etc.), click Next>, then approve the installation by clicking "Finish." Sit back and relax while the BlackBerry does its thing.

Senang bukan :D...
