HP造就修电脑能手

我的hp笔记本一直在待机,早上打开笔记本,正常输入密码,然后鼠标键盘都没反应了,屏幕定在那里——死机了。关机再开,屏幕什么都没显示,硬盘灯也没亮,心想估计是跟上次同一个问题——内存松了。

好,打开后盖,把内存拔了再插紧,开机,问题如旧!折腾了好一会,突然想起前段时间帮lp的hp打客服的时候,客服让我试过一招似乎叫“downdrill”的东西,于是如法炮制:把内置电源拆下,在没内置与外接电源的情况下按住power键10秒钟,然后把电源装上,开机……
可爱的VISTA开机界面又出来了

Swfdec is the reason why Yahoo can’t work on firefox, Ubuntu 9.04

Finally, I managed to figure out the problem of playing yahoo movie in Firefox on the lastest Ubuntu 9.04.
The symptom is:
I had already had mozilia-mplayer and vlc installed. Youtube can work smoothly. But somehow, the Yahoo movie failed to show me her pretty theatrical trailers.

I search around for days in google, tried everything I can see that might be helpful, but failed to have the yahoo movie work!
By chance, I right clicked on a flash that runs abnormally on yahoo(just appear for a second then disappear), selected About, I learned that the default SWF player firefox is using is Swfdec. So, I uninstal Swfdec-mozilla, and install flashplugin-installer(by Adobe), then…
WoW… Yahoo movie comes back to life!

Well, here is my conclusion, before, I already tried all kinds of flash plugins, including flashplugin-installer(by Adobe). But yahoo movie still can’t work, now I’ve learnt that this is becuase the default flash player is still there even though I installed other flash players. So, once I remove the default flash player for firefox THEN install a new one, firefox finally got a chance to run the newly installed flash plugin.
