Razer Megalodon 7.1 Headset Win7 64bit Bug

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

The Megalodon is Razers premium headset its 7.1 that really works on a headset, I’ve had other 7.1 headsets and expensive 2.1 gaming headsets in the past, but this is by far best audio I have heard on a headset.

I was having audio cut outs every 30mins using the megalodon which was very irritating esp when clan gaming really pissing me off alt+tabbing the restarting TS ARGHHHH RAGE! tried upgrading to the new drivers & looked everywhere online for a solution seemed the only thing out there was to buy a powered USB Hub well I did last night been playing BFBC2 for a few hours now so must have worked ahh so happy now thought I had to buy a new heaset which would have been a absolute bullshit solution esp downgrading to something 2.1/shitter audio quality.

IE8 / Flash Player 10 Installation – Error: Failed to Register

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Had to make a post about this as it was frustrating me so much, the issue came around when I was asked to upgrade my flash player version after entering an out of date webpage.. I am using Win7-64 OS.

Taken from Adobe TechNote - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html

You must have administrator privileges to successfully complete these instructions.

Follow the instructions to download the SubInACL tool from the Microsoft Download Center.
Install SubInACL.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Important: Be sure that both the subinacl.exe and reset_fp10.cmd files are in the same location here: C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd.
This will open a command window and execute the SubInACL tool.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
When it is finished you will see “Press any key to continue”.
Install the Flash Player from www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.

BTW That didn’t work for me, what I did then was then, look for the “Adobe Download Manager” (C:\Program Files (x86)\NOS\bin) then right click > properties > Compatiblity > Compatiblity mode > check “run this program in compatibility mode for:” > Windows XP.

Then select check box, Privilege Level > run this program as an administrator.

You can do the same to all the files, reset_fp10.cmd /subinacl.exe, just to be sure the administration privledges as set and functioning..
