What is SLIC 2.1?

When ever you buy a pc/laptop from a vendor like Dell, Acer, IBM etc they come with SLIC bios. SLIC basicly contains tables that contain OEM information(Original Equiepment Manufacturer).this technology is embedded in the bios of the computer. the main advantage of this technology is that when M$ makes operating systems, they create a product key for each DVD that they are selling so that it can be installed only by the buyer. However when it comes to mass distrubution like Dell Acer, they create a RTM copy so that the dvd that is sent to Dell will only work on dell machines and non other. again this is varified by the DVD from the BIOS of the compter which has the SLIC infomation.Now when Vista was launched SLIC v 2.0 was created and all the laptops/Pcs that hit the marked from a vendor came with that version.Now when people installed vista from the OEM DVD in the OEM machine they never asked for any product key and it was already activated whareas if the same DVD is used for installation in any other Pc (Non OEM) then it will ask for a product key and also you would need to activate the product with in a period of time. So the hacks that came out for Vista was a Bios emulator which actually emulated the Bios of a real OEM , and it used to load while booting and post boot the certificates used to pass thinking it was a OEM. That was SLIC 2.0. but now M$ came up with SLIC 2.1, that means the laptops that has 2.0 will not install and activate DVDs created for 2.1. But hopefully we will have a 2.1 emulater for windows 7 soon that can be installed on customized PC/laptops like mine.

Windows 7 Write Protection

I was Having problems with Windows 7 telling me that my Multi Media Card was write protected, and only on My Windows 7 machine, I tested it on other PC with Windows XP and Windows Vista and it worked fine. I could not change ANYTHING on the drive, not security attributes not even the owner anything i did to interact with the drive ( write) would give me the " This drive is write protected, Remove write protection or try another device.

I tried some of the registry fixes on the Internet while i was scouring for and answer to fix this problem but none of these worked, I was ready to just call it a day and give the drive to my brother, then I remembered something from a couple years ago doing IT work, DiskPart. So I tried it out and MIRACLE IT WORKED.

Go to Start > and Type "cmd" (without quotes) in the run box at the bottom

When the Prompt Comes up type "diskpart"

This will open a new command window after a few seconds with the Diskpart program running.

From there you need to find out which drive volume your write protected drive is. Type "list volume"

This will list all the drives on your computer and give them all volume numbers.

Next you want dispart to set focus on the write protected drive mine was volume 5 so i type in "select volume 5"

Now diskpart is focused on the drive you can check the attributes no by typing " attributes disk" and "attributes volume"

Disk is for the actual physical disk volume would be for partitions.

My particular situation was the actual DISK was Write protected so look at both Volume and Disk attributes to find out where your write protection is set. By looking at the "Read-only" setting .

To remove the write-protection you then type in "attributes disk clear rea donly" or if it is the volume that the attribute is set on then you can type "attributes volume clear read only"

Recap

Start > Run "cmd"
type< diskpart
type< list volume
type< select volume #
type< attributes disk clear read only

OR

type
There are other things you can do in Diskpart, just type HELP to see.

How to Disable Windows 7 Media Player Network Sharing Services

By default, Microsoft has configured Windows 7 to enable and turn on background services when needed. However, some of these background processes are not always in use or required. When they are constantly running, they will consume a large amount of resources and slow down the system’s performance. One of these background processes that many users have highlighted is the wmpnetwk.exe file. The “wmpnetwk.exe” is the key executable for the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and it is used to share Windows Media Player libraries (Windows 7 is using Windows Media Player Version 12). Windows Media Player may not be your preferred player and you may not want to have wmpnetwk.exe running to free up some memory, reduce RAM usage and CPU resources. In that case, Windows 7 offers you an alternative to disable and turn it off.

To disable and turn off wmpnetwk.exe, users just need to type “services.msc” in the Windows search box to open Windows 7 Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. MMC allows users to manage and configure Windows services that are running on the computer.

Select “Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service”, right click, and click “Stop” to disable it.

Users can go to the Resource Monitor to check and confirm that wmpnetwk.exe is no longer running. Even though users have successfully disabled wmpnetwk.exe and turned off Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, this process will be restored every time users restart the computer.

To permanently disable this process, users can go to MMC again, select and right click “Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service”, in the shortcut menu, click “Properties”. Look for “Startup type” item, select “Disabled” so that this process will be permanently disabled even when users restart the computer.
