If you have recently installed Service Pack 1 in your existing Windows 7 box, chances are you might be getting this doom error. You see, I can't really tell you why you are getting this error but Microsoft should. To keep this straight, I got this error because I installed service pack 1 on my development system. Yeah service pack is good and I think it exists to make things better. Just like Zedicus Zuul Zorander said in the TV series "Legend of the seeker(s)", "The greatest harm comes from our best intentions". I installed SP1 to improve my system but instead of improving it, it poked my eye and made me blind for weeks. Who would have thought that the problem that crippled my Sql server, denied me administrative privilleges and many more important stuffs had resulted from the SP1 I installed. Thank the lord that I love keeping track of my system's health by viewing event logs and knowing which software installation stabbed my back and th...

You tried to install a software you have never installed on your system before, instead of installing smoothly, it showed you an error saying "Object Already Exists" or you uninstalled a software and try installing it again and it showed the same error even after restarting your computer to ensure the uninstallation process was complete and your computer is clean of any leftover file from the software which was uninstalled.

You know, I am really a big fan of joke books, but do you know why I stopped buying them? Because a lot of things I see in my day to day life as an IT guy is worth laughing about and I am going to share a few of them in this post. I was telling a man that I love writing, that I also own a blog which anybody with internet connection can visit and read. The man said "Really, that's very interesting now how much do you charge?", being so confused, I replied "Beg your pardon, Sir", he said again "How much megabyte do you charge?", wetting myself with the soft drink I was drinking, I slowly replied "It's free, Sir", he said "Well that's very generous of you, please write down the address here.". On my way to work the next day, the man saw me and ran towards me saying "Stop there you son of a bitch, do you computer boys ever say the truth?
