How to change the product key for Office XP, for Office 2003, and for the 2007 Office system

SYMPTOMS

You cannot change the product key for Microsoft Office XP, for Microsoft Office 2003, or for the 2007 Microsoft Office system without first removing and then reinstalling Microsoft Office.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow the steps in this section.
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

Note
If you try to open any Office programs after you complete the steps, you receive a message that prompts you for a valid product key. Make sure that you have a valid product key before you start these steps.

1. Close all Office programs.
2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate and then click the following subkey, depending on your version of Windows and of Office:

32-bit versions
2007 Office system
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

Office 2003
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration

Office XP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Registration
64-bit versions
2007 Office system
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

Office 2003
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration

Office XP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Registration
4. Export the Registration subkey.

You can make a backup of the values under the Registration subkey if the new product key does not work. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the Registration subkey, and then click Export.
2. In the Save in list, select a location to save the registration entries.
3. In the File name box, type a name for the .reg file that you want to export, and then click Save.

Note In steps 4a through 4c, you created a backup of the Registration subkey. You can restore the Registry settings of the Registration subkey by double-clicking the .reg file that you saved in step 4c. The contents of the .reg file are automatically exported to the Registry.
5. Under the Registration subkey, there may be several Globally Unique Identifiers (GUID) that contain a combination of alphanumeric characters. Each GUID is specific to a program that is installed on your computer.

Click a GUID. Then, view the version of Office that is listed in the right pane for the Productname registry entry. After you find the GUID that contains the version of your Office program, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the DigitalProductID registry entry, click Delete, and then click Yes.
2. Right-click the ProductID registry entry, click Delete, and then click Yes.

Kaspersky Lab’s experts also recommend using Rescue Disk to disinfect an infected computer.

Information The Sality_Off.exe utility given in this article allows detecting and disinfecting only the following Sality modifications:

    • Virus.Win32.Sality.y
    • Virus.Win32.Sality.z
    • Virus.Win32.Sality.aa

In order to disinfect a computer from Virus.Win32.Sality (y/z/aa), do the following:

If infected computers are in the local network under domain control:

Step 1. Preparation to disinfection:

  • Download the file Sality_off.rar
  • Unpack the file Sality_off.rar
  • Run the file Sality_off.exe with the key -m on each computer in turn (for example, through Kaspersky Administration Kit, or the server group policy).
    • on all computers on which the domain administrator can register and work

Warning While disinfecting this group of the computers do not log on under domain administrator on any other computers to prevent further spread of the infection in the network.

    • on all other computers

Warning Do not stop or terminate work of the utility until all computers in the network have been disinfected.

Step 4. Cleaning the registry of infected computers in the domain network:

  • download the file Sality_RegKeys.zip
  • unpack the file Sality_RegKeys.zip
  • run the file Disable_autorun.reg from the archive Sality_RegKeys.zip
  • Click Yes to confirm adding the information to the registry

  • once the scan is over, from the archive Sality_RegKeys.zip run the file of the registry key:
    • under Windows 2000 run the registry file SafeBootWin200.reg
    • under Windows XP run the registry file SafeBootWinXP.reg
    • under Windows 2003 run the registry file SafeBootWinServer2003.reg
    • under Windows Vista run the registry file SafebootVista.reg

How to Flush and Reset DNS Cache

DNS (Domain Name System) is a resolution mechanism to translate, resolve and return real IP address of the serving machine against the fully qualified domain name of the URL (Uniform Resource Locator), aka link location. Whenever a domain has been resolved, the DNS resolution is stored and cached locally for future use.

The caching of DNS on local system ensure the fastest speed to resolve any domain name, and reducing hits, and directly load and burn of DNS name servers. However, it may cause some issues such as some website and web pages not loading or cannot be contacted and connected when browsing, causing by changing of IP address or nameservers that hasn’t been reflected and refreshed on local copy. The symptom is more obvious when user set web browser to use proxy to surf the Internet, and these sites now can be loaded properly.

When encountering any inaccessible or unable to load web page issue, one possible resolution is to try to flush (empty and reset) the DNS cache on the system. To flush the DNS on Windows system (Windows XP and Vista inclusive), follow these steps:

  1. Click on Start button and then click on Run (alternatively just hit Windows + R keys) to open Run command dialog. Type Cmd into the Run box, and hit Enter. In Windows Vista, open an elevated command prompt.
  2. A command prompt DOS window will open. Type ipconfig /flushdns and then press Enter to purge the DNS resolver cache.

Error while accessing Firewall settings in Windows XP

"Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings"

  1. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service not listed in Services.msc Console.
  2. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service is listed in Services Console, but you may not be able to start the service.
  3. The following error occurs when accessing the firewall settings (firewall.cpl)

Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.

Cause

Case 1: This happens due to missing or corrupt SharedAccess registry key, which represents the Windows Firewall Service. This usually occurs if your system is infested with Virus or other Malware, or in the aftermath of Virus removal. In conjunction with the solution provided in the article, it's advisable to run a thorough cleanup of the system.

Case 2: You have Windows Live OneCare installed. Windows Live OneCare has its own Firewall which monitors both inbound and outbound connections. Because two firewalls should not be turned on at the same time, Windows Live OneCare turns off Windows Firewall if the latter is running. [More info]. Therefore, Windows Live OneCare users can safely ignore the error message concerning Windows Firewall.

Resolution

Solution for Case 1:

Download sharedaccess.reg (only for Windows XP systems with Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 applied) and save to Desktop. Then double-click the file to merge the contents to the registry. The Services entry will be created. Restart Windows (mandatory step, otherwise the following NETSH command might display an error).

After restarting Windows, execute the following command via Start, Run dialog:

CMD /K NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Launch firewall applet from Control Panel, and see if you're able to configure the Windows Firewall settings.

If the above steps do not help, as a last resort solution (before attempting to reinstall the Service Pack), give the following commands a try:

Click Start, Run and type:

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf

The above command repaired most of the Windows Firewall settings when I tested. After running the above command, restart Windows and then run the following:

CMD /K NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Attempt to start Firewall applet. Start the Windows Firewall service when prompted.

How to Delete Surabaya virus

Many people are facing problem with the new USB worms coming up,one such worm is Surabaya Virus[As it calls itself by that name!]

Some info:Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia,the name and language suggests that the worm was actually originated in Indonesia by some spammer.Ok,enough about it’s history,Let’s get into the details of the worm’s operation.

When the virus enters your system,the following message would come up:

“Surabaya in my birthday
Don't kill me, i'm just send message from your computer
Terima kasih telah menemaniku walaupun hanya sesaat, tapi bagiku sangat berarti
Maafkan jika kebahagiaan yang kuminta adalah teman sepanjang hidupku
Seharusnya aku mengerti bahwa keberadaanku bukanlah disisimu, hanyalah lamunan dalam sesal
Untuk kekasih yang tak kan pernah kumiliki 3r1k1m0
”

And it creates a lot of ‘.SCR’ files and also changes Shell Extensions for all Drives(C,D,E,F,G,H..whatever).

So when you try to open any drive,or if you right-click on any drive you’ll be amazed to find “Test,Configure” instead of standard “Open/Explore”.

It also changes the registry to hide all the hidden folders and also disables ‘FOLDER OPTIONS’.

Let’s See How to Remove Surabaya virus

THE SOLUTION:

>>STEP1:First,Delete file ‘Autorun.inf’ which allows the malicious script to run automatically when you click/double click on the drive.

If you are not able to delete it from Windows Explorer,then you can try using ‘DOS Command Prompt’. To enter into this,

Go to Start Menu>Click on RUN>Type ‘cmd’ ,Click ‘OK’.

Now the command prompt will be opened up,

the default root will be ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>’

You have to change it to ‘C:\’,to do that type ‘cd..’ twice and it’ll take you to ‘C:\’.

Now type attrib autorun.inf -s -h –r[And Hit ‘Enter’-This is to change attributes if the file so that we can delete it]

Now Type ‘DEL autorun.inf’

>>STEP2:The Second step is very important because you need to work with ‘Windows Registry’

Warning:Any unwanted mistakes in the registry,I’ll guarantee you that your OS will be dumped.

Ok let’s start it:

As in the first step,go to Start>Click on RUN>type ‘REGEDIT’ and press ‘ok’.

[Note:’REGEDIT’ stands for Windows Registry Edit]

How to Remove Surabaya virus

Then Click on>“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”[Click onthe ‘+’ sign]

Then find ‘SOFTWARE’ and Again Click on the ‘+’ sign next to it.

Registry Editor

Next Find ‘Microsoft’ under it and then ‘WINDOWS NT’

Next ‘CURRENT VERSION’ and finally find ‘WINLOGON’.

The path you’ve followed is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>CURRENT VERSION’ >WINLOGON

on the right windows (under data) modify or delete “LegalNoticeCaption” & “LegalNoticeText”.

Winlogon

This removes any message coming up in the start up.

>>STEP3:Let’s see how to enable FOLDER OPTIONS to show hidden files

Follow START>RUN>Type CMD>Type REGEDIT

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\
Hidden\SHOWALL

Folder Options

If CheckedValue = "0" the change it to “1” as shown above.

This will enable the ‘FOLDER OPTIONS’ and will show hidden files/folders if checked.

This will only stop from running again,but will not actually kill it,You have use good Anti-Virus Softwares like Kaspersky Anti-Virus/AVG/BItDefender


How to remove F-Secure products completely?




Removal of client products

The Uninstallation Tool 3 is a program that removes all client products up to version 7.

It is recommended that you use this uninstallation tool only if the regular uninstallation methods fail!

Warning: The Uninstallation Tool 3.0 does not remove F-Secure products that have been installed in an unsafe location, such as c:\Windows, c:\Documents and settings, c:\Program Files, etc. This is done to avoid loss of important customer data during the uninstallation. If you are not sure, please contact F-Secure support.

To remove F-Secure's client product, do as follows:

1. Download the UITool3-420.zip file.
2. Unzip the contents of the zip file to an empty directory.
To unzip the file, use e.g. the tool from http://www.winzip.com/ddca.htm. (WinZip is a shareware product which is free for evaluation.)
3. Carefully read the readme.txt file before running the uninstallation tool.
4. Run the UninstallationTool.exe file by double-clicking it.

Note: This will clear the directory in which F-Secure's software was installed unless it was installed in an unsafe location.

Removal of server products

The removal of the server products is more complex than that of the client products.

Warning: Do not apply these instructions to the Policy Manager if you intend to re-use the machine as a policy manager with its present keys. If you do, you will need to push-install all clients again! If you are not sure, please contact F-Secure support.

To remove F-Secure's server product, do as follows:

1. Uninstall the product by using Add/Remove Program from Control Panel.
2. Once the uninstallation is completed, restart your computer.
3. Remove the following keys from the registry:
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Data Fellows
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BackWeb (if it exists)
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\F-Secure.

Note: When you modify the registry manually and especially if you delete wrong keys, your Windows may not function properly.
4. Delete the F-Secure installation directory.
5. Restart your computer.

10 Simple Ways To Speed Up Your Windows XP

10 Simple Ways To Speed Up Your Windows XP


Many people are interested in making the most of their hardware. So here are 10 simple tips on how to make your Windows XP computer run faster without having to purchase additional hardware.

1. Defrag Disk to Speed Up Access to Data

One of the factors that slow the performance of the computer is disk fragmentation. When files are fragmented, the computer must search the hard disk when the file is opened to piece it back together. To speed up the response time, you should monthly run Disk Defragmenter, a Windows utility that defrags and consolidates fragmented files for quicker computer response.

* Follow Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter
* Click the drives you want to defrag and click Analyze
* Click Defragment

2. Detect and Repair Disk Errors

Over time, your hard disk develops bad sectors. Bad sectors slow down hard disk performance and sometimes make data writing difficult or even impossible. To detect and repair disk errors, Windows has a built-in tool called the Error Checking utility. It’ll search the hard disk for bad sectors and system errors and repair them for faster performance.

* Follow Start > My Computer
* In My Computer right-click the hard disk you want to scan and click Properties
* Click the Tools tab
* Click Check Now
* Select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box
* Click Start

3. Disable Indexing Services

Indexing Services is a little application that uses a lot of CPU. By indexing and updating lists of all the files on the computer, it helps you to do a search for something faster as it scans the index list. But if you know where your files are, you can disable this system service. It won’t do any harm to you machine, whether you search often or not very often.

* Go to Start
* Click Settings
* Click Control Panel
* Double-click Add/Remove Programs
* Click the Add/Remove Window Components
* Uncheck the Indexing services
* Click Next

4. Optimize Display Settings

Windows XP is a looker. But it costs you system resources that are used to display all the visual items and effects. Windows looks fine if you disable most of the settings and leave the following:

* Show shadows under menus
* Show shadows under mouse pointer
* Show translucent selection rectangle
* Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
* Use visual styles on windows and buttons

5. Speedup Folder Browsing

You may have noticed that everytime you open My Computer to browse folders that there is a little delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing speed, you can disable the “Automatically search for network folders and printers” option.

6. Disable Performance Counters

Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.

* Download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List
* Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the ‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom button below


7. Optimize Your Pagefile


You can optimize your pagefile. Setting a fixed size to your pagefile saves the operating system from the need to resize the pagefile.

* Right click on My Computer and select Properties
* Select the Advanced tab
* Under Performance choose the Settings button
* Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
* Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.

Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.

8. Remove Fonts for Speed

Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.

* Open Control Panel
* Open Fonts folder
* Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.

9. Use a Flash Memory to Boost Performance

To improve performance, you need to install additional RAM memory. It’ll let you boot your OS much quicker and run many applications and access data quicker. There is no easiest and more technically elegant way to do it than use eBoostr.

eBoostr is a little program that lets you improve a performance of any computer, powered by Windows XP in much the same way as Vista’s ReadyBoost. With eBoostr, if you have a flash drive, such as a USB flash thumb drive or an SD card, you can use it to make your computer run better. Simply plug in a flash drive through a USB socket and Windows XP will use eBoostr to utilize the flash memory to improve performance.

The product shows the best results for frequently used applications and data, which becomes a great feature for people who are using office programs, graphics applications or developer tools. It’ll surely attract a special attention of laptop owners as laptop upgrade is usually more complicated and laptop hard drives are by definition slower than those of desktops.

10. Perform a Boot Defragment

There’s a simple way to speed up XP startup: make your system do a boot defragment, which will put all the boot files next to one another on your hard disk. When boot files are in close proximity to one another, your system will start faster.

On most systems, boot defragment should be enabled by default, but it might not be on yours, or it might have been changed inadvertently. To make sure that boot defragment is enabled:

* Run the Registry Editor
* Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
* Set the Enable string value to Y if it is not already set to Y.
* Exit the Registry
* Reboot

Kalau Pendrive Hidden sebab virus...

Hmm..
Pertama kali yg harus korang lakukan adalah membuang virus nya dahulu, dan setelah itu ikuti langkah2 ini:

(dari sini kita anggap saja drive letter pendrive adlh drive F (F:) dan dalam dicucuk d komp korang)

- Buka menu START, pilih RUN
- Taip "CMD"
- Setelah muncul aplikasi windows command line, Taip:
F: (lalu tekan enter)
- Kemudian F:\> prompt muncul lalu Taip :
ATTRIB -R -H -S *.* /S /D (tekan enter)
- Tunggu sampai kembali ke F:\> prompt. Jika sudah, cuba lihat isi pendrive, sudah unhide blm folder²nya...

Selamat Mencuba....
