Steam client application won’t open on windows 10 computer

Today I had a problem with my Steam client. I would double click on my icon to open Steam and nothing would happen. This is how I fixed this issue on my Windows 10 computer.

Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
find steam.exe and rename it to steam.exe.old
restart your computer
Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
rename steam.exe.old back to steam.exe
open steam client – it will start installing an update and then it will open Steam application.

Vaccine, not Killswitch, Found for Petya (NotPetya Petna GoldenEye) Ransomware Outbreak

Creating the read-only file C:\Windows\perfc.dat on your computer prevents the file-scrambling part of NotPetya running, but doesn’t stop it spreading on the network. Note, the software is designed to spread internally for less than an hour and then kicks in; it doesn’t attempt to spread externally across the internet like WannaCry did.

update:

in folder C:\windows create a file call perfc with no extension and make it read only

also create C:\windows\perfc.dat and C:\windows\perc.dll and also make both files read only.

RASPBERRY PI – Accessing a windows share SMB

Posted by admin on May 24, 2017 No comments

I was getting this error on Raspberry PI

mount error(95): Operation not supported
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

this was the fix for me

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.x.x/share ~/share -o username=bob,vers=2.1

vers = SMB protocol version. Allowed values are:
· 1.0 – The classic CIFS/SMBv1 protocol. This is the default.
· 2.0 – The SMBv2.002 protocol. This was initially introduced in Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2008. Note that the initial release version of Windows Vista spoke a slightly different dialect (2.000) that is not supported.
· 2.1 – The SMBv2.1 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2.
· 3.0 – The SMBv3.0 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
