I think the suitable options for me would be this:
sp3.exe /quiet /forcerestart /forceappsclose /nobackup

Strange Youtube "Http/1.1 Internal Server Error", Fixed!

I found myself left with an error message "Http/1.1 Internal Server Error" when watching Youtube videos. In fact, I am not alone: (1), (2).


Yes, it is Firefox 3! But I do not believe FF3 is to blame. In fact, I also had the same problem using Firefox 2 before.

The real cause of it is the "Virus Protection" software. After I turned it off, Youtube comes live again!

I am using PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 of Trend Micro, Taiwan localized version. Maybe someone should tell them to watch this case!

It is interesting that IE7 is not affected at all in this case. Despite of this, Firefox 3 is still my favorite browser!

Download Now! Firefox 3

Yes! Now!

Download Firefox 3 within 24 hours, and we all will set a Guinness World Record!

I live with Firefox a lot! It is very stable and loads pages very quickly. However, after I upgrade Jave Run Time (JRE) to the latest version, I found myself hang when using Firefox to browse web pages containing Java applets! I was wondering whether this is a "bug" of Firefox itself.

After some survey on Google, I found in here to just turn on "show Java Console" option, from Windows Control Panel, and it fixes for me!

After this fix, Firefox is still my favorite browser in the world! No more unexpected hang when surfing!

Clever Owner, Poor Dog

The owner of the dog seemed to go away for ice cream, in that hot afternoon on the beach. It must feel like being baked! Poor dog!

If you are a pet lover, please be sure to treat your pet like human.

I really wanted to help, but I am afraid myself to be thought as stealing the dog! Luckily, minutes after I shot this film, the owner finally came back and relieved it!
