Can't eject DVD

I have a Dell laptop running Windows XP. Sometimes I can't eject the DVD.
The easiest way to solve this problem is by disabling and enabling the DVD-ROM drive from the device manager.

Just right click on My Computer, select Hardware, find the DVD-ROM drive, select disable, then enable. That's all.

No video on TPG's IPTV

I could hear the audio, but no video on TPG's IPTV. It was working properly a few weeks ago.

How did I fix it?
I uninstalled the existing VLC media player(0.8.6), then installed the newer version (1.1.5). Don't forget to check the 'Firefox' option during the installation.

Windows XP VPN were missing

All of the XP's VPN connections were missing. Options 'Dial Up' and 'VPN' in the connection wizard were disabled. So, I couldn't make a new VPN connection.

It turn out that I accidentally disable some of the services.
These are the necessary services:
  • Telephony
  • Remote Access Connection Manager
  • Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
After enabling those services, the previous connections are appeared.

Double thumbnail in Virtuemart

The components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product folder is taking up so much space. Then I realised that virtuemart always creates 2 thumbnails: one in product folder, and one in resized folder.

Here's a link on how to fix this problem:

Mount partition in Ubuntu

My harddisk has 2 partitions (C and D). Ubuntu only recognised C drive.

I opened the terminal and run:
sudo fdisk -l

I can see the D drive in the output. So, I have to mount it to Ubuntu.

sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt

Now I can access the D Drive from mnt folder.

To unmount, run:
sudo unmount /mnt

Drupal 6 installation error (/includes/menu.inc on line 315)

When I installed Drupal 6, I got an error message about '/includes/menu.inc on line 315'. I can't find solution on the internet. So, what I did was deleting the database, create the new database, and start the installation again. This time, the installation was completed successfully. I didn't have any idea what caused the error previously.
