How to Fix BackTrack 4 “No Screens Found” Error

The other day I was reading an article about BackTrack 4 and it got me very interested to the point that I decided to test it out. I created a Live USB and ran the OS in one of my older laptops, everything worked fine and I messed around with some things. I liked it so much that decided to do Dual Boot with my newer laptop which has an ATI graphics card and AMD processor. I decided to try first with the Live USB just to make sure everything was going to work and right after I typed "startx" I got the following error:

Fatal Server Error
No screens Found

I did some research online and with the help of Google and found a solution, seems like every time I use Google I find a solution :) .

To solve this, type "fixvesa" and you will get a message. After the message type "startx" again and it should work. This only happened with my newer laptop which has an ATI graphics card and AMD processor. I will soon write some posts about BackTrack, if you would like to learn more about it, you can visit their sitte, BackTrack-Linux

How to Record Streaming Audio

Sometimes I get bored of listening to my mp3 playlist and decide to listen to some online radio and most of the time  I hear a song that I end up liking it but don't know the singer or title of the song so I can't search for it to download it and save it in my computer. Today, I will show you a solution to this problem.

It's very easy and fast to do it. All we need is the following:

  1. Freecorder 4
  2. Online Radio Station
  3. Firefox or IE as your web browser ( I will be using Firefox)

Backup Your Website Files with GoodSync

I personally love GoodSync, it's very easy to use and it has a very friendly interface. I use it to backup/sync my Websites, MP3, and USB Flash Drive. Over the last few months, I decided to test a few  other similar programs and none of them,either Free or Paid came close to GoodSync (Personal Opinion).

Having a backup of your website is very important, the server could fail, get hack or the hard drive cold stop working at any time, this is why you must have a backup. I backup my websites up to 3 times per day and sometimes even more depending on the situation. Today, I will show you the easiest way to do it.

What We Need

  • GoodSync | A 30 Day  Trial can be downloaded by Clicking Here
  • Server IP Adress
  • FTP Username and Password

How to Change the Logon Screen on Windows 7

I am currently running Windows  in my laptop and something that I didn't like since the first day I started using it was the logon screen. I used to use WindowBlind to change my Logon screen but I really don't want to install/run WindowBind in my laptop. I started doing some research and found a way to change your Logon Screen on Windows 7 without having to use WindowBlind.

Encrypt and Protect your USB Flash Drive

Today, almost every one owns a USB Flash Drive. You may use it to store documents, programs, photos, music, etc. and I am pretty sure that they are very important to you. Imagine if it gets to the wrong hands? Not good, and this is why I am going to teach you how to encrypt and protect your USB Flash Drive with a free tool called USB Flash Security.

USB Flash Security is very easy to use so if you don't know a lot about computers, don't worry because it's very easy.  We will be working with the FREE version and it has a limitation, the USB Flash Drive cannot be bigger than 4 Gigabytes.
