Fixed AVG 9 Install Error: Connecting to Registry Root
Error installing AVG 9
If you get this error;
AVG 9 Install
Error: Connecting to item registry root HKCU (username) failed. Access is denied
You are in the right place. I have found a very simple solution.
First, I have only noticed this error on Windows XP machines and those machines were on a Windows domain. But, if you don’t know where to look you could spend way too much time trying to install an anti virus program.
A small rant here; when you install AVG 9 you have to download the program during the install. This is great to make sure you get the latest application, but crappy because there servers are slow. And, if you do get this error message you have to download again to test if you fixed it!
AVG 9 Install Error Fixed
- Restart your computer
- Login as the LOCAL administrator
- Open My Computer
- Open Documents and Settings
- Delete all files in the, NOT the folders
- Install AVG 9
Hope this saves someone a little time. :~D
WordPress – Showing Ads only on Old Posts
Thanks to Viper007Bond for, quite literally, showing me how to do this!
Advertising on old Pages and Posts
If you want to show ads to readers on posts or pages that are of a certain age, just place the code below in either your single.php or page.php file.
You can use your judgement as to where you want the ad and what size it will be. Remember, change the amount of days, I have it set to 30 in this code.
<?php
if ( get_the_time('U') < strtotime('-30 days') ) {
// show ads
}
?>
WordPress Plugin
I am thinking of adding as a feature to my Advanced Adsense Plugin for WordPress or maybe I will just create a seperate one.
Costa Rica has 2 Teenage Contract Killers
It’s not uncommon to find crime anywhere in the world, but it is uncommon to find it so cheap! Today’s AM Costa Rica front page article is about 2 young men, 16 and 17, who are professional (well, experienced) hitmen.
In Costa Rica you can have someone Killed for $350
This is a serious post. You want to be careful who you mess with in Costa Rica, because after a long night of drinking you could say the wrong thing to a couple teenagers.
Next thing you know you’re dead
From the online newspaper this morning;
The allegations Thursday were that the two youngsters, 16 and 17, had offered their services for about 200,000 colons to eliminate individuals on behalf of others. That is about $350.
Business is Good
Currently the teenagers are linked to 6 murders, 1 attempted murder and some robberies. But it seems the robberies may have just been a cover. During one of the contract killings the teens left a house without robbing it; leaving $37,000 in cash.
investigators found a box with $37,000 in cash in his home after the killing.
Who knows; maybe the kids are just stupid and didn’t know the cash was there, but I think they are just not too worried about making more money.
People always need someone killed.
