"Error 1330 Installing Java Runtime Environment" (JRE)

This client’s PC running Windows XP kept refusing to install the latest Java Runtime Environment. It seems such a problem is not that rare…

To cut a long story short, I came across this RAC_Reaper’s post Re: Error 1330 (Invalid digital signature in data1.cab) installing 1.6.0_11, where he states:

“… I believe a regsvr32 initpki.dll is all you need to run and the 1330 error will go away.”

What this means is:

  1. Open a command prompt (console) window with administrative rights
  2. At the prompt type “regsvr32 initpki.dll” (without the quotes and hit “Enter”
  3. Run the JRE installation again. It should now work

It sure worked for me, thanks RAC_Reaper!

WM, Android, or, maybe, a Maemo smartphone?

I am a long time user of Windows CE, Pocket PC and lately Windows Mobile devices. I am no fan of Microsoft’s. However, I have always thought their mobile OS, although not always the best and, certainly not open, it was a step in the right direction with decent devices and plenty of software.

PeopleBrowsr: The Multi-Social-Networks Client Pros, Cons & Wishlist

PeopleBrowsr is an excellent multi social networks client. Although still in Beta RC 1.5, it is very rich in features and often leads the way for dedicated clients. On the flip side, it has a number of issues that prevent it from being the hands down client of choice, nor a one stop shop for [...]

Twitter Lists Support: Management Status & Optimization Wishlist

I follow 2001 Twitter accounts (the limit Twitter inexplicably imposes for my number of followers). I have created some Twitter Lists and added some accounts in them, usually as I come across them. Twitter’s web interface leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to Lists management, so, this is a slow, painful process. [...]

Twitter: Unable to follow more people (following 2000 limit)

Twitter has never been my favorite, especially compared to FriendFeed, but I can’t overlook the valuable community built around it. Lists have just made it much better, but there’s still no decent way to manage them that I know of and they come with limitations of their own.

Twitter: You are unable to follow more [...]

Outlook crashes when switching keyboard language? Check Outlook Connector!

Does your Microsoft Outlook crash lately? A client of mine’s kept crashing for the better part of two consecutive mornings.

To cut a long story short, each time he tried to switch the keyboard to EL (Greek), it would hung with no exception. Several times it even crashed by itself while (re)starting. Repairing the .pst file [...]

WordPress: External RSS Feeds Optimization with KB Advanced RSS

Apart from its own Ice Tea tech blog, Dipot.com also displays two external feeds relating to Optimization and Standards. I needed to optimize the post titles of these two feeds by getting rid of their long suffixes, both for better looks and for more content within the same space.

The feeds were served by the standard [...]
