Problem Installing Need For Speed Shift

30 Sep

I just want to post up a quick solution for those having problem installing their copy of games acquired from EA (Electronic Arts) particularly on the latest episode of Need For Speed, Shift.

If you are hitting error that says ” Cannot install to the selected directory because the path contains the following characters: \\/:*?”"<>|; ” or not having the actual game name printed on the setup window title, read on.

  1. Uninstall your copy of PhysX and get the latest version installed later on.
  2. Install the latest version of ATI Catalyst if you are running on ATI chips.
  3. Remove Microsoft Applocale if you are using one. (In many cases, you probably would have one installed)
  4. Remember to restart or else you will find yourself in no luck after attempting all steps said above.
  5. Good luck! I got mine working by following these steps.

More help/ Resources:-

Enjoy the game!

Picasa 3 as a Windows picture viewer replacement

19 May

I have never been a big fan of Google Picasa software. I tried Picasa during the early days when Google first released this little piece of software back in 2004.But I didn’t get hooked up by it unfortunately as I’m much more comfortable with the image management software provided by my camera’s manufacturer. Today, I give it a try on the new version available for download today, version 3.1.

I’m not too sure what have changed till then but certainly I will keep a copy in my computer for quite long this time. It’s the Windows Picture Viewer replacement feature that Picasa provides really appeals me, very useful!

I’m going to talk specifically about this part for now.

Picasa 3 featuring windows picture viewer replacement

With this Picasa picture viewer, we can navigate across images in a folder easily through the image thumbnails (no space wasted, it won’t leave any thumbnail caching files behind like Windows’s)  generated at the bottom of the window.Picasa 3, navigate across images easily

Of course, we can also zoom in and out easily like how we can with Windows Picture viewer. In addition! We can drag and move the image around just in case we want to look closer on a particular part of the picture.Picasa 3 zooming using mouse wheel made easy with zoom level indicator

All these can be done in a breeze with few mouse wheel roll and a few mouse clicks minus the painful experience of using the scrollbars to move the image around.

Coppermine Theme based on WordPress’s Brightness

05 Feb

Coppermine Brightness

Remember that I launched a face-lift to my Coppermine gallery last November? Now I’m proud to release this theme to the public for FREE.

This is my first thing getting my hand on Coppermine themes seriously. So, you gotta do something in order to get the theme works for you.

Take note that this theme is totally independent and it has absolutely nothing to do with your WordPress Brightness theme whatsoever. Changes made here and there won’t influence each other as well.

How to use? Download the theme, and open up theme.html and start looking for YOURDOMAIN. You will need to replace it with your own website domain, of course!

And for the top bar links, you will need to manage/edit them manually as well. Open up theme.html and you will know where to start looking.

PS: You are free to edit the source code. :)
