當電池走到盡頭時
俗語有云『當黑夜走到盡頭時，黎明的曙光就會來臨』，可是，我部Asus A600．．．『當電池走到盡頭時，恐怖的hard reset就會來臨』。

True VGA mode on WM5
網上有人教改registry使PPC行True VGA Mode的方法，無聊試下，但因為未能更改一堆DLL檔名而暫時放棄。不過又真係好過癮，睇下個Program Menu ，一個字，爽。
XP shut down dialog, force update
Today when I start up the laptop, there is an update from Microsoft - "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - March 2006 (KB890830)". Since I'm testing the system with the patch from yesterday, I ignored the update. When I pressed shut down, the dialog was "rewritten". Microsoft force users to install their updates, again.

Limit of hiberation, 1GB max!?
Last weekend I bought a 1GB DDR ram to upgrade my IBM T42 laptop. Since the laptop has two slots, which were filled by two 512MB ram, I only get 512MB extra after the upgrade. This extra 512MB cost me more than it should be.
After the upgrade, my laptop no longer able to hiberate. When I press Fn+F12 and it prepares hiberation, then it fails and returns "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API" (technical details from Microsoft). Regarding this issue, many people went to Bryce Yehl's blog. Its thread is so long, and has full explaination, which other site cannot compare with. However, the patch is not available publicly until you call Microsoft. Luckily, I found the patch from an unofficial website.
Just installed and it works. Hopefully my laptop will run smooth from now on.

Acer n300, 1.00.08 & 1.00.15
After the upgrading the ROM to 1.00.15, I found that my Acer n300 no longer showing text in ClearType. In fact, the text looks uglier than before.
In version 1.00.08, ClearType is enable. So that the screen looks better to customers in store. In version 1.00.15, ClearType is disable. It can then claims the performance has boost up after upgrade.
Besides me, there is another guy who found out that the ClearType was disabled on new OS. Some one has the solution to re-enable ClearType. This one is cool~~
Enable ClearType:
Method 1. Search "NoClearType" in registry and set its value to "0". ClearType options is available under Settings > System > Screen.
