Kingdom Death Kickstarter

Alright, I must admit it. I LOVE the world Adam Poots has created in Kingdom Death. I have a huge collection of the miniatures. Yes I use to bitch about the costs but lets face it...KD is definitely worth it.

Anyway to get to the point Mr. Poots just lunched a kickstarter for Kingdom death. Do it or you suck, end of story.

CouponDropDown in Google Chrome Removal

I had a friend that kept getting these adds in all of his websites. I found another site that helped me remove it for him:

Take a look!

Windows Family Safety and Installing Programs Remotely

Alright so Family Safety is cool for monitoring your kids, but what if you are away and they need to install something? It doesn't put up a request for permission thing, so you can just do it through EasyConnect option in remote assistance. (Access Remote Assistance by typing in Remote in the search bar of the start menu and it comes up)

Anyway the problem with doing it this way is that the Admin cannot type anything into the UAC when it pops up. All you have to do is the following so you can remotely type in the password in UAC.

The option you want is this:
User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop  

but when I searched for it, it only appeared under Windows GPO settings for Windows Server. You can remotely do it with the registry.

type in regedit in the search from the start menu.

Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System : EnableUIADesktopToggle

Then enable it by typing 1. You should now be able to type into the UAC window when helping in Remote Assistance.

Code 800B0100 Windows 7 x64 Windows Update Error

Hi guys,

   So I have got this error twice when updating computers and it is really frustrating. Here is how you can solve it:


  1. Either try to use the Fix-it tool here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/
  2. AND/OR try this for Windows Update itself: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=231149
Hope this helps!

[Constraints 18-5] Cannot loc instance signal is neither single nor differential


If you get the following error:

[Constraints 18-5] Cannot loc instance 'my_signal' at site X#, Site location is not valid 'my_signal' is neither single nor differential.

1. Open XPS, Clean  All Generated Files
2. Do a Design Rule Check
3. Generate Netlist
4. Exit XPS
5. Delete the Top Level in Plan ahead, re create it.

OH. And don't forget to clean and rebuild the BSP, if you are having this problem it is very likely to added some component to the project and it is not appearing in xparameters.h

Good Luck.

WARNING: Pack:2515 - LUT-1 inverter failed to join the OLOGIC comp matched to output buffer

So yea, I do some work with Dev Boards for my research projects.

I ran into this frustrating warning:


WARNING:Pack:2515 - The LUT-1 inverter
   "fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/dvi_reset_n_t1_INV_0" failed to
   join the OLOGIC comp matched to output buffer
   "fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/OBUFT_dvi_reset_n".  This may
   result in suboptimal timing.  The LUT-1 inverter
   fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/dvi_reset_n_t1_INV_0 drives
   multiple loads.

for multiple pins.

If you get this, you simply need to make sure you don't have any combinatorial logic in the T (enable signal obviously)

First saw something similar here:
http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Implementation/Pack-2515-XST-kept-optimizing-my-output-enable/td-p/256978

 It really sounds like the enable function itself is not
coming from a register, but from combinatorial logic that can't be pushed into the IOB.  As long
as the output enable comes directly from a register, then pushing it into the IOB should work.

Just make the change and register the signal.
