Are you getting this kind of message on your screen when using windows?

Here is a quick guide to solve that.

1. go to run and type ’shutdown -a’
`-` this probably closed the shutting down countdown.

2. go to cmd,
C:\> CD WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS> DEL /A /F /S system.bat
C:\WINDOWS> MD system.bat

simple… you deleted system.bat because that is what is causing the countdown..
you created folder called ’system.bat’ so that the virus that is running can’t create a file with the same name again.

comment if you aren’t able to control the problem.

I had to write my memories in BPKIHS for the college magazine, ‘Parikrama’.

I never knew Nokia cell phone’s security was this lame. I have a Nokia 1110, which I had locked using the security code. Though my sister didn’t know the code, the easily unlocked it.
You can try that too. Its really easy:
1. Use 2 hands.
2. Keep on pressing Unlock for around 2 seconds until you see press *
3. Quickly press *
haha! you successfully unlocked you nokia cell phone without the security code.

Meet baby boy Himal, from Jhapa. He is just 10 months old, and was in our Paediatrics ward when I was posted there.
He was admitted to investigate for his recurrent severe pneumonia.

After admission, a proper medical history was taken. Family history revealed that both his parents died due to complications of AIDS.
He has a elder brother, just 6 years old, who has recently been tested positive. Both the boys live with their grandmother who has no source of income and no family support.

The reason for the baby boy’s recurrent pneumonia was apparent, but I was waiting for the test results with crossed fingers. The results came, it was positive for HIV. But there still remains a small hope that it might be the antibodies from the mother’s blood that would clear off after he is about 2 years of age.

When my seniors were investigating more and trying to fit him into a classification of HIV, I was thinking about the future of the boy. How could his parents be so ignorant? They already knew their HIV status
when their first child was to be born. They simply ruined two lives…
As for me, I still remember the grandmother’s wet eyes.

Ever since I had been posted in gynecology, dressing of bed number 8 used to be the most expensive task! Basant could trade it with a cup of coffee and a plate of momos. No one ever liked to change her dressings because she was a patient of foul smelling growth coming out of her vagina. It as amazing how this old lady, thin and very pale could wait for so long to come to the hospital with such a huge mass. It was more than 10X10X5 cms, a little more than 750gms. What worse would the decision be than to have twice daily dressing change for her.
“Empathy makes a good doctor” is what our favorite professors used to say often. But I absolutely had no ideas how I was to empathize that.
After initial stablisation for a week or so, Hanoon ma’am and the team chopped it off along with the uterus. I was ‘doing a good job’ holding the mass while she removed it.

One day, I was assisting Nibedita ma’am in the OPD on the post-night-duty day. I was having a cooler time because there was no running around unlike the wards.  Every case was typical, the typical pelvic pain, the same irregular periods.
She then entered the OPD after I called her name. A beautiful girl, just eighteen, well dressed and carrying herself really impressively. Along came a guy, not that impressive. She didn’t even look around and straight away started talking to Nibedita ma’am. From the conversation they were having, I could make out that she thought she had conceived and wanted an abortion.
She said she is still going to college and it was an unplanned pregnancy. She exactly knew what she wanted and was very calm and confident. Then I came to know that the guy was her husband. Since it was just a 6 weeks pregnancy, ma’am counseled her to wait a week or so before anything had to be done, and mean while to take up some blood tests and a ultrasonography. I started filling the investigation forms.
I was really surprised to know she was a known case of HIV infection. In her early stages of AIDS, all I could think at that moment was, “Shocking! How can this be possible? She doesn’t look like a drug addict, nor like a prostitute.” Then came a different logic, “ It’s the guy!” Whatever it be, I really was impressed by her confidence. The confidence to live, to accept what now is a part of her life.

Women, amazing creation of god ( or the molding of the society).

I was posted in medicine ward a few months ago. My ward had a few old heart patients who needed my active attention. As it was my night duty, I was at the bed side, reading an ECG when someone said, “Abish dai, mero ECG ra X-ray heri dinu na”

He was my junior from 3rd year. He said he had a sharp chest pain on left side. All his ‘medical’ brain could think was myocardial infarction, a heart attack. I was least worried about him and was attaching the ECG machine on the old patient with ’significant’ chest pain.

He kept on waiting for a while seeking my attention. After sometime I asked him about his chest pain. He said it started half a hour ago, just below the left nipple and sharp piercing pain. He said it was very severe and couldn’t take a deep breath. Though it lasted for 5 minutes, he looked really worried.
I told him that it was nothing serious, and requested him to wait outside (the tone of my request was a little non-polite )
He possibly felt ignored and went to take advice from someone else.
So what was the non-serious ’severe’ chest pain?

Its a medical entity called ‘Texidor’s Twinge‘ aka Precordial Catch Syndrome. It is not mentioned in our text books but is fairly common among young age group. Its not dangerous and no treatment is needed. All one needs to do is take a very deep breath till a ‘pop’ happens.

I haven’t been using microsoft windows since ages, but I have to, when someone has some problems with their system. I love solving problems in the computers, esp related to viruses.
Simple codes(worms) of .vbs and .bat are so easy to heal that I love crushing them… but one day came W32/Sality, that infected Anish dai’s laptop.

W32/Sality is a virus that infects the portable executable files (.exe and .dll) in windows not even sparing windows system files… and then for obvious reasons, the system becomes unstable and crashes in no time. Besides that it also kills all the tasks related to antiviruses, so you aren’t allowed to install or run antiviruses. It also disables Safe Mode, so error handling becomes really tough.

So here I am, searching for some way to solve the problem.. and for now, I haven’t seen any solutions except for going the hard way.. formatting and setting up the whole system again.

Sleepless nights, long hours of searching for solutions, the fear of losing data and the constant risk that I might not find all the drivers after I format…. hell lot of problems related to Windows..

That is the reason my friend I use linux… a little adventure and a lot of fun..

RMVB is a new video format, claimed to have an excellent compression.
It stands for Real Media Variable Bitrate..
By default your Mplayer doesn’t play these files, nor does VLC.

So, these steps make mplayer to play rmvb videos

1. Download Mplayer if you haven’t yet (Synaptic Package Manager)

2.Go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html#binary_codecs and download the file according to your need. ( I downloaded AMD64 version, others probably need x86)

3. Extract the files in the package, for ease to Desktop and rename the folder anything easier to type. I renamed it ‘essential’.

4. Go to Terminal (Applications, Acessories)

5. cd Desktop
cd essential
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
sudo cp * /usr/lib/codecs

6. All the codecs are copied to where they should be.. now you can delete the folder in Desktop

7. Now your Mplayer can play your RMVB videos..

How do you hibernate your windows XP? (if you have enabled it from Power Options in Control Panel)

Either you Click the Start button, then ‘Turn off the computer’ then press shift and then Press ‘Hibernate’!!

or

You in ‘Turn off your Computer’, you press ‘H’

or

If you have edited your power options’ Advanced tab, you can do it by pressing the power button..

I created a file for those lazy guys (like me) who want to do it just by clicking a icon in the desktop!

download http://www.parikrama.net.np/hibernate.lnk.abi and save it in the desktop. Now rename the file and remove .abi from the end to make it hibernate.lnk !!

Now, all you need to do is click the hibernate icon on the desktop to hibernate!!
