Yahoo Messenger proxy problem fixed

yahoo-messenger-logo.gifThe Problem
I had problem with my Yahoo Messenger after I started using proxy to get to the Internet. Although I have set the proxy settings in Yahoo Messenger, it still can’t get connected and login to my account. I’m pretty sure that all settings are correct and I even had tried many options in the connection setting but it still failed to connect.

The Solution
After trying for about 2 months (lol…), now I can use my Yahoo Messenger as before. The solution is, besides you set the connection in Yahoo Messenger to “Firewall with no proxies”, you must set your Internet Explorer to connect via proxy too. I’m not sure why it must be like that but maybe Yahoo Messenger using IE connection settings to get into the Internet before it use its own proxy settings to send and receive messages.

No more Windows XP on 2008

Microsoft will stop selling Windows XP to PC developers and PC sellers next year — 2008. So, if you buy new PC, you will not get Windows XP installed but instead you will get Windows Vista ready in the PC.

Microsoft will stop selling Windows XP to PC makers such as Dell, Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard by January 31, a company representative confirmed Thursday. The software maker will stop selling XP to system builders, the smaller custom PC makers, a year later, the representative said.

No more Windows XP as of 2008 [via CNET News]

This means, Microsoft want to wash away all Windows XP and users will have Windows Vista in their home. But for current Windows XP users, to move from Windows XP to Windows Vista will cost them more money. This is because, Vista use high performance and system resources and peoples need to upgrade their system.

But, before you decided to upgrade your system, maybe you might want to check your system here, Is your system ready for Windows Vista upgrade?. If your system is ready to use Widnows Vista, don’t wasting your money on the upgrade.

And those who live in Malaysia, PIKOM PC-Fair has arrived. It is the best time for you to buy things and upgrade your system.

Be cool with Winamp and Yahoo! Messenger

If you listen to musics while chatting with your friends, I guess you need this thing to show them how cool you are. b-)

winamp_logo.jpg

Larkington’s Yahoo Messenger Winamp Plugin is a additional feature that will set your Yahoo! Messenger status message to the title of the song currently playing on your Winamp. There are also some other Winamp plugins which are working with the same concept but this plugin is better than the others. And I’m currently using it on my PC and this plugin works perfectly. <:-p

But if you have created custom Yahoo! Messenger status message, you need to delete all the messages because, this plugin will rotate the messages instead of displaying the song currently playing on your Winamp. :-w To delete the custom messages, you need Yahoo! Messenger Status Edit.

Don’t wait any longer, download the plugin and be cool instantly! >:/ [tags]winamp, plugin, yahoo messenger[/tags]

Command & Conquer 3 – Tiberium Wars Demo Screenshots

Here are some screenshots taken from the demo version as requested by Madhur Kapoor. Sorry for taking so long to update because the wireless access point that I’m always use to connect was close. And I had to connect to other access point which is much much slower.


C&C3 – Main Menu

In demo version, you can only play the GDI Campaign Demo and one skirmish map. But maybe there will be more maps available in the final release though.

Command & Conquer 3 – Tiberium Wars Demo

Have you try it yet, Command & Conquer 3 – Tiberium Wars the demo version? I did. Although it is only a demo but the graphics and gameplay are really great. I love the new design of each units and structures in this game.

The landscape, dusts flying, everything are fantastic and smooth. It’s look like a real. Because of I not playing C&C for a long time, it takes time for me to familiar with the concept use to buy and control the units. To move units from a place to a place is differ from before. You need to right-click to move them and left-click on the ground to deselect them.

The demo file size is 1.14Gb. Yea, it is really big but it is worth. I downloaded it at night so I can sleep and leave the download till it finish. You can start your download from here .

I can’t wait the final release. If my dad know about I have the demo version, I’m sure he also want to play it too. He3. :d [tags]command & conquer, pc game, tiberium wars, ea[/tags]
