      <description>&lt;p&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s a great GUI out for OpenVPN &amp;amp; Windows, located &lt;a href=&#34;http://openvpn.se/download.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, this GUI includes an old OpenVPN, that is no longer compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Vista.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The TUN/TAP driver will be blocked due to compatibility issues, and when trying to connect to a VPN, you&amp;rsquo;ll get an error along the lines of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;All TAP-Win32 adapters on this system are currently in use&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The simplest fix, is to install the GUI package (including the old OpenVPN binaries), and reinstall OpenVPN afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&rsquo;s a great GUI out for OpenVPN &amp; Windows, located <a href="http://openvpn.se/download.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>However, this GUI includes an old OpenVPN, that is no longer compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Vista.</p>
<p>The TUN/TAP driver will be blocked due to compatibility issues, and when trying to connect to a VPN, you&rsquo;ll get an error along the lines of:</p>
<p><code>All TAP-Win32 adapters on this system are currently in use</code></p>
<p>The simplest fix, is to install the GUI package (including the old OpenVPN binaries), and reinstall OpenVPN afterwards.</p>
<p>You can find the latest OpenVPN binaries <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170607163358/https://openvpn.net/release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> and the latest version, when writing this post <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170607163358/https://openvpn.net/release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>This will overwrite the old files and update the driver with a Windows 7 compatible driver.</p>
<p>Try to connect now, everything should work like a charm. :)</p>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;To disable it, as administrator, open cmd.exe (win button + R -&amp;gt; cmd -&amp;gt; [enter]), and copy paste the following 2 lines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS&#xA;bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Reboot, enjoy. No more annoying messages. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Windows 7 &#43; iPhone tethering</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;If Apple was so kind to give you tethering (and didn&amp;rsquo;t silently remove it after an update), or if you just happen to have enabled it using, let&amp;rsquo;s say, &lt;a href=&#34;http://blackra1n.com/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;the alternative method&lt;/a&gt;. And you happen to be forced to use Windows, and you really are tired of XP, and Vista surely isn&amp;rsquo;t an option; you&amp;rsquo;re probably running Windows 7.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To enable tethering on the iPhone + Windows; just pair the bluetooth devices (I actually haven&amp;rsquo;t tried with USB yet, and don&amp;rsquo;t really plan on doing that), Windows will start to &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.wowwiki.com/QQ&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;QQ&lt;/a&gt; about it being unable to find a suitable driver for the iPhone&amp;hellip; I even installed iTunes to see if the message would go away, but apparently it won&amp;rsquo;t. I&amp;rsquo;ll have to do some more Googling later on.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If Apple was so kind to give you tethering (and didn&rsquo;t silently remove it after an update), or if you just happen to have enabled it using, let&rsquo;s say, <a href="http://blackra1n.com/" target="_blank">the alternative method</a>. And you happen to be forced to use Windows, and you really are tired of XP, and Vista surely isn&rsquo;t an option; you&rsquo;re probably running Windows 7.</p>
<p>To enable tethering on the iPhone + Windows; just pair the bluetooth devices (I actually haven&rsquo;t tried with USB yet, and don&rsquo;t really plan on doing that), Windows will start to <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/QQ" target="_blank">QQ</a> about it being unable to find a suitable driver for the iPhone&hellip; I even installed iTunes to see if the message would go away, but apparently it won&rsquo;t. I&rsquo;ll have to do some more Googling later on.</p>
<p>Anyway, to tether, just go to &ldquo;Control Panel&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;View devices and printers&rdquo; (under &ldquo;Hardware and Sound&rdquo;) &gt; Devices &gt; $iPhone_Name (it has a fancy yellow warning sign next to it&hellip;).</p>
<p>Right click, &ldquo;Connect using&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;Access point&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Simple enough. Pick &ldquo;Public network&rdquo;, just to be sure (though, your ISP should already block most direct connections between devices, and your iPhone won&rsquo;t forward any ports I guess/hope).</p>
<p>And don&rsquo;t forget to disable WiFi or unplug your network cable if you want to test it at home.</p>
<p>Oh, right, and I probably should give you a bunch of warnings about data consumption and that AT&amp;T might brutally murder you and your family if you dare using tethering (as far as they can actually check you&rsquo;re tethering, and if they can, I&rsquo;m pretty sure they&rsquo;ll be violating a couple of privacy laws). As for the customers of the 95% other decent providers who allow tethering and aren&rsquo;t living in the middle ages, have fun using it. Finally work can be done on the train/while waiting/&hellip; ;)</p>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re having troubles using HP ProtectTools and Windows 7, you&amp;rsquo;ll probably using an outdated version of ProtectTools. Eventhough HP tells you this is the latest version for your notebook.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A simple fix, is to &lt;a href=&#34;http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&amp;amp;cc=us&amp;amp;prodTypeId=321957&amp;amp;prodSeriesId=1849082&amp;amp;swItem=ob-75523-1&amp;amp;mode=3&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;download the latest version&lt;/a&gt;, which is model independent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Be sure to completely uninstall the previous version, reboot, and reinstall the latest version. I can now successfully login using the biometric fingerprint device.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
