Orbit Downloader - Chrome problem.

If you have typed "Orbit Downloader stuck with Chrome" or a variant of it, you know exactly what this post is about. It is an application to handle internet downloads effectively.

However, some user intend to just try or have another option. It is very easy to uninstall and all seems fine until the user tries to download the program after that. The program is gone but the browser send a message that the download has been sent to it. As a result no gain. I got frustrated and searched the internet and a forum message suggested I should delete the file nporbit.dll . So, I went into my folder and exposed the hidden and system file and reached to this particular dll, finally. Phew! Even though I am a techie, the process was annoying,because the end result says cannot find plugin. I tried initiating the download again and was pissed at the Chrome and Orbit.

It was evident that a behaviour was set-up in the chrome settings for the Orbit Downloader plugin and no matter what we did on the outside it would finally go and search for the plugin, but not use the default chrome download feature. Hello Google, that is a feature you can include to switch to the primary downloader once the user opted software fails and ensure smooth running of Chrome.

Until that does not happen, I will take this opportunity to easily solve this issue. Just follow these simple steps.

1. Open Google Chrome.

2. In the Address Bar ( The bar where we type our web addresses like www.google.com) type:

chrome://plugins/

Press Enter.

3. Scroll the list and look for the Orbit Downloader plug-in

4. Click Disable.

Tadaa! Problem solved.

Additionally, you may uninstall any other annoying plug-ins that are trashing Chrome from this menu and have a wonderful browsing experience. Enjoy!!

How to Optimize Windows Startup Process?

Everybody recommends having the bare minimum programs at startup for a faster PC, but how would one do that? This process requires some know-how and a lot of googling and reading(also understanding). At boot, Windows loads all the processes necessary for the user to be able to use the applications installed. However, a user does not need all of these processes all the time. Hence, it is better to have the bare minimum processes load at boot up and then the user can start required programs using shortcuts. If you have a new windows PC, you may have some factory installed software that your manufacturer installs. This is annoying as you may need to purchase the software to use it, it is a trial version or you just do not need it. Furthermore, these programs may load at startup thus taking a toll on the boot process. So how to get rid of the junk in your PC startup? You will be suggested to use tools(software) to do so, but that sort of defeats the purpose. Now you have added another soft...

Google Docs

The most sought out software, when I was working as a store Computer Technician, was MS Office(Microsoft Office.) I would suggest clients to go with the Open Office suite, however, they were not really fond of the user interface(UI - the look) of it. It was very crude, yet served the purpose. Along came Google with their Docs app. Google Docs is a great offering for a home user looking for a no-purchase alternative to MS Word. Google has other Office software, too; however we will only concentrate on Google Docs. Well, the first advantage is that Google Docs has no upfront fee. That is you do not require to purchase or need a credit card to use the full featured version. It allows user to create documents and save them online. Saved documents can be easily downloaded in a desired format. It is a way better option than the Open Source Office suites. So, lets start on how to use it.
