A Program on your computer has corrupted your default search setting for Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search provider.

Internet Explorer will now open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search providers.

Corrupted Search Provider Default

This problem has been bugging me for more than a month now. I have tried every possible solution I saw on different forums but none of them worked for me. Until today. The solution I was talking involves registry manipulation, so please backup your registry first before doing anything or consult someone with a technical know-how before trying these steps.

1. Be sure no Internet Explorer is open.

2. Open up your registry and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

3. Under that key Add a new “Expandable String value” with a value name of “AppData” and a value data of “%USERPROFILE%\Application Data”.

The above solution worked for me so with other people. It may or may not work on you. If the above solutions doesn’t work for you, you may want to try other solutions that worked on other people.

Run Internet Explorer as Admin:
1. Right-click Internet Explorer, choose “Run as Administrator”.
2. Make your choices and preferences.
3. Close Internet Explorer.
4. Restart Internet Explorer.

Delete some registry key (Doing this will reset your search settings to the default values):
1. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
2. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
3. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\User Preferences

Thats it! If you have any solutions othe the above mention please leave me a comment and I will add that to the list.

One Manga Bids Goodbye

Last Updated on Monday, 16 August 2010 05:03 Written by DarkBlak Monday, 26 July 2010 09:13

Every manga lover knows One Manga, the site where you can read free manga online. But now due to the stance of manga publishers One Manga will gradually remove its manga content from its website.  Read the message below from Zibi of One Manga.

“There is an end to everything, to good things as well.”

It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July 2010). So what next? We’re not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear. You can also show us some love in this moment of sadness by ‘liking’ our brand new Facebook page. It would be nice to see just how many of you came to enjoy our ‘better than peanut butter and jelly’ invention.

Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, on behalf of the One Manga team, I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support over the years. Through the ups and downs you have stuck with us, and that is what kept us going. As a certain Porky was fond of saying… That’s all folks! Time for me to go lay down and let this all sink in. – Zabi

Thank you One Manga.

Novel Plot summary

Following Dumbledore’s death, Voldemort has completed his ascension to power and gains control of the Ministry of Magic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione drop out of school so that they can find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining three Horcruxes. They isolate themselves to ensure the safety of their family and friends. They do not have much knowledge about the remaining Horcruxes except the possibility that two of them are objects that belonged to Hogwarts founders Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff, and that the third is Nagini, Voldemort’s snake familiar. The locations of the two founders’ objects are unknown, and Nagini is presumed to be with Voldemort himself. As they search for the Horcruxes, the trio learn details about Dumbledore’s past, as well as Snape’s true motives. Source – Wikipedia

Novel Epilogue

Nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny Weasley are married and have three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. Ron married Hermione and has two children, Rose and Hugo. The families meet at King’s Cross station, where a nervous Albus is departing for his first year at Hogwarts. Harry’s godson, Teddy Lupin, is found kissing Victoire Weasley (Bill and Fleur’s daughter) in a train carriage. Harry sees Draco Malfoy and his wife Astoria Greengrass (revealed on Rowling’s website behind the door) with their son, Scorpius. Neville Longbottom is now a Hogwarts Herbology professor and remains friends with the two families. Harry comforts Albus, who is worried he will be sorted into Slytherin, and tells his son that one of his two namesakes, Severus Snape, was a Slytherin and the bravest man he had ever met. He adds that the Sorting Hat takes one’s choice into account, like it did for Harry. The book ends with these final words: “The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”  Source – Wikipedia

Cavite City Regada Water Festival 2010

Last Updated on Monday, 16 August 2010 05:08 Written by DarkBlak Wednesday, 16 June 2010 02:40

Regada was derived the spanish word “regar” from the chavacano speaking Cavitenos, which means water or to sprinkle. Regada Water Festival has been a yearly tradtion to celebrate the Feast of San Juan Baustista every 24th of June. The annual tourism oriented festival has evolved into a combined environmental, religious and cultural activity.

Its a nice feeling that while walking on the street people are pouring water on each other. Every year people from Cavite City and other towns gathered to street to celebrate and get wet.

And its been a while since I last go out and get wet together with my friends and fellow caviteños. I think I’ll need to attend Regada Water Festival this time, hopefully some of my friends will come too. Want to come?
