Annoying! Google Chrome’s “Google Translate”

 FAIL!google-chrome-logo

 

Some of you already did notice it. Google has a nice extension called “Google Translate”.

Well…. they forgot to add an OFF  off-button  button to it.

 

Every time you get to a web page it will ask you if you want it translated. Every time!

 

Sure.. you can turn off translating for that page..  or for that language..  but a general OFF button doesn’t exists!

UNINSTALL it!   Right… the way Google works with extensions.. that is hard to do..

They don’t give each installed extension a normal name, but call it like “asdhtrwjfkgfsdfjdf” and more like that..

 

You should have the freedom to turn it off if you want..

or… should I use my freedom to change browser?

Weird problem, need help: 2nd monitor goes dark after Windows session is unlocked

QuestionI have this weird problem.

 

I use a 2nd monitor to extend my desktop. When I walk away from my computer, I lock my Windows session. After I return and unlock my Windows session my 2nd monitor goes dark.

 

 

display settings

 

I tried to enable my 2nd monitor under display settings, but it goes dark again. Only a reboot will fix this, until next lock/unlock.

 

What is going on?

How to fix this?

Problem with Facebook for Windows Mobile

When I go to Wall I can’t read what my friends have written (or what I did write myself..)

 

All shows up is:

 

 

:a:0"{}.

 

I did an uninstall and a reinstall of Facebook for Windows Mobile but that didn’t help

So… Now I wonder what this could be. Maybe one of you know the answer to this problem?

 

 

Here is how it shows on my phone:

 

Facebook for Windows Mobile - Status update

 

Me posting a test message

 

 

 

Facebook Status update - web view

 

Using a web browser all looks fine

 

 

Facebook Status update - Windows Mobile client view

 

But on the Windows Mobile Phone it doesn’t look fine…   Weird…

 

Anyone out there who can help me here?

NO WIFI on my Compaq/HP 8710P laptop

Don’t know why, but suddenly my WIFI stopped working.

I can press the WIFI button, but nothing happens..

 

Compaq 8710P laptop with NO WIFI

 

When I boot, the soft touch button lights up, but the moment Vista64 is loading, it’s “turned off” as it seems..

It could be hardware error – they guys from HP/Compaq didn’t make that softkey that great – or it could be a software problem. If so, what softpaq do I need to uninstall/install?

 

Anyone?

Leave your message here or use other ways to contact me

 

 

>>> UPDATE <<<

 

Yay!  It’s working again!   I got this tip from some HP tech:

 

  • turn laptop off
  • remove power cable
  • remove the battery
  • wait 5 to 10 sec
  • put battery in laptop
  • put power cable in
  • turn on the laptop

 

This should reset the soft touch keys and…  it did :)
