win7aeroWindows 7 is an amazing operating system and the Aero theme is so refreshing to the eyes. Sadly though, once in a while Aero likes to crash, leaving you with solid windows again and no option in Windows to bring it back manually (no obvious way at least). Thank fully this can still be done using cmd.exe.

Attached you can download a zip file that contains a quick .bat file I typed up. Simply extract the .bat file to your desktop and whenever the problem occurs again, right click on it and select “Run as administrator”. The cmd.exe window will pop up and go through a few seconds of switching the Aero theme off and back on again and then it will close itself. That’s it! You’re back to normal in no time at all.

If you don’t trust running “mysterious” bat files on your PC (lol, I don’t either), feel free to open it in notepad to see that it is 100% safe. I am posting the contents of the file here as well:

echo Activating TheSaint’s Aero Fixer
echo.
net stop uxsms
echo Waiting For 5 seconds…
TIMEOUT /T 5 /NOBREAK
echo.
net start uxsms

 

echo.

Greatest Tool for Assembling Video Projection Screens for Stagehands and AV Techs

A lot of stagehands and AV techs stroll through the day assembling large projection screens that contain these snaps that aren’t always the easiest on the thumbs and fingers to manage when it comes to stretching the screen out to it’s destination. Pulling and tugging, while trying to snap these things down over and over and over. By the end of things your hands and fingers are sore and numb.

Basically this tool eliminates it by giving you leverage. It gives you something to grab the screen with so you can easily pull to stretch it and just snap it into place without damaging the screen or it’s snaps (or your fingers). It can also be used to open the snaps that may be stuck (unusual but an example none-the-less). One of the greatest things I have ever seen in a category of work….that doesn’t have any tools to help you out.

The tool was actually created for boat covers that use the same concept and same size/type snaps. It helps boat owners stretch their boat cover easily and into place to snap it on. Thanks to the fact that the snaps are the same it becomes a hybrid tool 🙂
