To install OSCeleton you must follow the steps that you can find at SensorKinect but they don’t mention a couple of details:
-You must install the 32 bit version of OpenNI and NITE because SensorKinect does not have a 64bit version and it does not recognize the 64 bits of them installed.
-You must go to environment variables (Control Panel\System and security\System, left, advanced system settings, down you find EnvironmentVariables) and modify the register OPEN_NI_BIN so it contains: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenNI\Bin (for me), the difference is that it said “bin” and not “Bin” in my default installation so it does not find the binaries. If you don’t make this change when you try to execute some demo you will get: “OpenNI library can’t find any module!”.
Found the solution in this thread,

I needed to compile some code for a Bioloid (CM-510) so I needed AVRStudio4 (downloadable here, needs register, 116mb) and I had a problem, when I executed the installation it won’t continue, the installer minimizes to the taskbar, and nothing else happens at all.
The workaround for installing it its disable UAC of Windows 7 (reboot, systems tells you to do so) and execute again the installer. (You might want to enable UAC again and reboot).
Found the solution here .

Until now, the best app that I knew for analyzing wifi networks for things like searching for a free wifi channel for our wifi was for Android(Wifi Analyzer). Yesterday a friend told me about a Windows tool called inSSIDer.
Works like a charm!.
Are you using Windows? Then try to open the calculator (Fast way: WindowsKey+R and type calc) and do square root of 4 and substract 2. Surprise!
If you want to know why does this happen… a Microsoft link.

A friend told me about a web that tells you if your computer is able to run some specific game (minium requirements. Its very easy to use, you just need to acces from Internet Explorer (no plz!) or Firefox, choose the game and push the “CanYouRunIt?” button. It will ask you to install a little Java package or an ActiveX control to analize your pc, and in some seconds you’ll have the results.
The web is: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

A friend asked me how to install Windows XP on a netbook as it does not have CD drive so the easiest workaround is installing it from an USB pendrive. So, after googling a bit, we found at kioskea.net this article wich I’m copying-resuming here for our use in the future.
To start we will need:
A USB memory where our Windows XP fits (1GB+).
A Windows XP CD or ISO.
The computer where we want to install the SO wich will need to be able to boot from an USB stick (like any computer that is less than 4 years old aprox).
The software WinSetupFromUSB.
You can find WinSetupFromUSB in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/120444-how-to-install-windows-from-usb-winsetupfromusb-with-gui/
Direct links for the last version (0.2.3):
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-dfc48473.html
&
http://www.mediafire.com/?igwzq2qnn22
Lets continue…
Now you’ll need to install WinSetupFromUSB.
When its installed follow the next steps:
These are the 6 steps that you should follow (shown in the image) :
Step 1: Insert the CD of Windows XP in the CD drive of your PC or load the ISO from your favorite software (daemontools for example), then make click in Browse.
Step 2: Choose the route in the Window that will pop
Step 3: Choose the CD Drive or virtual disk where the ISO is and click OK
Step 4: Click Refresh and click the little arrow at the left and choose the USB stick that you are using
Step 5: Mark the field Fixed of “Force Target disk type”
Step 6: Click GO.Wait the copy process to end. A message will appear when the copy is finished. After that you can close de program.
And now install Windows XP…
Lets install Windows XP. Just follow these steps:
First insert the USB in the computer and get into the BIOS.
Now configure the BIOS to boot from USB memorys first (or hit the key that your computer has in the splash screen to select where to boot from).
Save changes of BIOS and reboot the PC.
You’ll see 2 lines of GRUB to choose from.
The first one is to choose the SO installation.
The second one is for starting the first boot of Windows XP after installing.
So, boot from the USB until Windows XP is totally installed.
Follow the usual installing process of Windows XP.And Voilá! Windows XP has been installed from your USB key.
And that’s all folks! :)

Today I needed to fix a machine that had the spoolsv.exe process (who hosts the printing queues on Windows XP) eating up to 99% of the CPU.
To fix this I went to a console and wrote the next lines:
net stop spooler
del %systemroot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* /Q
net start spooler
These lines stop the printing queues and delete everything thats in those queues because probably there is something wrong in one of those queues.
And thats all :)

The other day in the office there was a computer that started to print emails from Outlook 2003 and from the web-client of Outlook in a bad way. They were cut from the sides like if there was no margin. Trying other programs, they print well.
The solution was in going to Internet Explorer, and go to Archive / File > Configure page and give it margins. (Sorry about the menu items, I don’t have an english version of Windows to look for the correct words of the menu).
I’ve had a little trouble installing strawberry perl and I’ve needed to configure my environment variables on my Windows 7. I needed to edit my %PATH% variable.
To do this we can go to:
Right Click on Computer > Properties
Advanced System Settings (left side)
(On Advanced Tab) Environment variables button
