Blogger-ல் படங்களுக்கான 1GB கொள்ளலவு முடிந்ததா? இதோ இருக்கிறது Dropbox

பிளாகர் –ல் படங்களை அதிகமாக பதிவிடும் பதிவர்கள் பொதுவாக சந்திக்கும் முக்கியமான பிரச்சனை  Google வழங்கும் 1GB மட்டும் கொள்ளலவு.

அதிகமாக படங்களை பயன்படுத்தும் பதிவர்கள் தங்களது படங்களை
இலவச File Hosting தளங்களில் சேமித்து அதன் தொடர்பபை Blogger-ல் பயன்படுத்தி கொள்ளலாம்.

உதாரணத்திற்கு DropBox சேவையை பயன்படுத்தி தங்களது பிளாக்கில் படங்களை பதிவிட



முதலில் DropBox-ல் பதிவுசெய்துகொள்ளவும் (ஏற்கனவே உங்களிடம் DropBox Account இருந்தால் நன்று. இல்லையென்றால் இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்
Get Free Dropbox Account).


பின்னர் பதிவிடவேண்டிய படங்களை DropBox-ல் “Public” Folder-ல் சேமித்து கொள்ளவும். (Public Folder திறந்து சேமிக்கவேண்டிய படத்தினை கிளிக் செய்து இழுத்து உங்கள் Browser Window-வில் விடவும்)



இப்போது DropBox-ல் சேமிக்கபட்ட, Blogger-ல் பதிவிடவேண்டிய  உங்கள் படத்தின் மீது Right Click செய்து Copy public link என்பதை கிளிக் செய்யவும், அதில் தோன்றும் லிங்கை Copy செய்தபின்னர்



Blogger-ல் வழக்கம் போல Insert Image –யை கிளிக் செய்து Upload என்பதற்கு பதிலாக From a URL என்பதை தேர்ந்தெடுக்கவும் அதில் முன்னர் Dropbox-ல் Copy செய்த லிங்கை Paste செய்யவும்.



இனி உங்கள் வலைப்பூ வழக்கம் போல் செயல்படும். Google-ன் 1-GB கொள்ளலவை நினைத்து கவலை கொள்ள தேவையில்லை.

================================================================

வேறு ஏதேனும் சந்தேகங்கள் இருந்தால் பின்னூட்டமிடவும் அல்லது தொலைபேசவும் 9962879268

Print Spooler Stopping Automatically in Windows XP and Windows 7 – How to Fix it?

Just I wanted to update this post which worked for me recently to solve print spooler stopping automatically in Windows 7 computer. Cleaning the print spooler in command prompt, disconnecting all printers and checking proper driver installation did not work. Finally, deleting the files in  Windows -> System32 -> Spool -> Printers folder worked in Windows 7.
Still its worth to try all below steps to solve print spooler stopping automatically in Windows 7, XP and Windows Vista computers.
If you get a message "The print spooler service is not running" always when try to print or open printer properties that means something wrong with print spooler service on your computer.
Print Spooler Stopping Automatically
We can start, stop or restart Print Spooler service by following two methods.
1) Under Services in Computer Management.
Print Spooler Stopping Automatically
2) Open command prompt ( Open as Administrator in Windows Vista) and,
To stop print spooler, type;
Net stop spooler
To start print spooler, type;
Net start spooler
netstop
You can try above steps if you think print spooler is not responding to your print commands and print is not happening when printer is fine physically (No paper jam or any error indications on printer hardware).  These methods will help to clear the pending print jobs (print queue) also.
Try below one more method to clear print queue in Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Go to C -> Windows -> System32 -> Spool -> Printers and delete all files in side this folder. This is the location printers spool documents before sending to printers. Once you delete these files, print queue will be cleared.
spool
The above methods will help to stop, start, and restart print spool service in windows XP or Windows Vista computer, also to clear the print queue.
But, if you notice print spooler service in windows 7, XP or Windows Vista is stopping automatically all the time and disturbing your printing, then follow the steps.
1) Try the all three methods mentioned in earlier part.
2) In Services under Computer Management, Double click Print Spooler service and go to Recovery tab. Here we can set what that service should do when it fails.
Select 'Restart the Service' in Subsequent Failures field. So, it will try restarting print spooler service whenever it fails.
recoverytab
But, from system administrators side, it's not recommended. That's why by default it set to 'Take No Action'. It will be an additional load to system to restart the service all the time whenever it fails, and  may cause other system issues also.
If a service fails very frequently, better to find the reason and fix it.
OK, let's see how we can fix this.
3) Go to 'Dependencies' tab and make sure all depending services are started. Luckily, only one dependency service for print spooler service which is Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service.
So, check the RPC service in services and make sure it's already started.
depend
4) Last step which fixed for me is, wrong print driver installation. Yes, if you installed and assigned wrong driver to any of the network or local printer, you may face this print spooler stopping frequently problem. I think, by default windows XP or Vista tries to communicate with printer very often even if you don't print. When printer and OS talk wrongly because of wrong driver installation, windows stop the print spooler service automatically to avoid any system issues. That is the reason print spooler stops very often.
Try these two methods,
a) Delete all unwanted printers from your computer.
b) Make sure all printers are installed with proper drivers ( or at least with similar model)
Once I changed to correct print driver, it solve my problem very easily.
Try the above methods, I'm sure one it will solve print spooler stopping automatically problem.

Make Windows XP Programs Run in Windows 7

So you upgraded to Windows 7 because it's the new, cool operating system. You were excited when you first started using this new OS, but now you're frustrated. There are hundreds of dollars' worth of computer programs sitting on your desk – now useless because they were designed for Windows XP. Apparently Windows 7 does not want to run these programs. What do you do now?
Fortunately, Microsoft put a little bit of thought into XP-to-Windows 7 compatibility. The programmers created a solution: compatibility mode. This helps you run more of your XP programs in Windows 7, which will save you lots of money and frustration. Here's how to make your older software work like it should in the new operating system environment.
The nonfunctional program should have a shortcut link. Find this and right-click on it.
You should see a menu that's full of options. Left-click on "Properties."
Now click the "Compatibility" tab in the menu that just popped up.
There should be a box marked "Run this program in compatibility mode for" – followed by a scrolling menu with all sorts of operating systems and options listed. Make sure that the "Run this program…" box is checked.
Now look at that huge list of operating systems and options. Click on the OS that is compatible with your program. By default, most of your software was probably designed to be compatible with Windows XP, so select that OS first.
Click "OK."
Now restart the program that you just tried to fix. In most cases, the software will run without too many more problems.
Sometimes, however, you still have trouble with the program that you're trying to run. If that's the case, you can go back to the compatibility-mode menu and change some of the options. Try selecting a different operating system from the list. Change the checkboxes beneath that list. Restart your PC, too, as that can fix the problem.
