My PC operating system is Windows Vista and I encountered a strange error message recently. I was browsing a website that runs on java and got this strange error message window. It said “could not create java virtual machine”. I  have installed the latest java (Java Version 6 Update 18) and my windows is up to date. I googled a lot in an effort to find a fix for this issue.  Looked like many of them had the same issue and there were many solutions posted. I tried all of those solutions but in vain. Then I accidently found a way to fix this java error issue. The miracle fix (Windows Vista/XP): 1) Press “Windows” and “Pause/Break” keys together. This will bring up the “System Properties” windows Image by java_devices via Flickr   2) Go to “Advanced” tab and click the “Environment Variables” button. 3) In the “Systme variables” section, look for variable names “JAVA_HOME” and “JAVA_OPTIONS”.

Image via Wikipedia Clean up is always a good thing when it comes to keeping your PC clean and also making it perform better while saving some disk space at the same time. Few days back while I was goggling hoping to find a software tool that can remove older java versions installed in my computer, I got lucky - I found a tool named " JavaRa " at this site: http://raproducts.org/ . It removed older versions of java and created a log for me see what it actually removed. That's so cool! I found another cleanup tool in that same site ; it is called " PureRa ". This tool removes certain files that resides in your PC and left there untouched/unused. The removal of these files saves quite a lot of space in the hard disk. After I ran this tool in my Windows Vista PC, it removed a whopping 1.5 GB of files which is what it said in the log file. Yes - it displays a log listing all the safe-to-be-removed files which it deleted safely. It worked ...

I goggled on how to do this ad got many solutions like log in into different browsers, etc..But they seemed a lot of work to me. Then one day when I was checking my hotmail using outlook 2003, an idea flashed right before my eyes - I found a solution for checking emails in more that one Gmail account in one step!!!

Image by Dekuwa via Flickr I read magazines and news most of them online and occasionally offline in print version. Whenever I find a word that I don't know the meaning of, I go to google and then type "define:patsy" for instance. We have online dictionary tools that are available for free like Dictionary.com and other softwares like Babylon . IE 8 has this cool feature "define with Encarta ". When you use IE 8 to read content online and you don't know the meaning of a particular word, all you have to do is select that word and right click on your mouse and select 'define with Encarta"!! there you go! It instantly display the meaning of the word! This is way better than doing the google define thing or using a online service.
