Solution: Webex is not working on windows 7

After deploying the Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise version we had 1 issue where Webex was not working properly.
It was freezing, very slow and display was poor. One of my colleague found 2 work around to fix the problem:

1.Add one registry key( MTU ) at this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

Now look for the folder in which your IP address and other network related info is  visible:

Now create a new “QWORD(64 bit) value”  or “DWORD (32 bit) value, name it  “Mtu” and give it a decimal value of  value of 1500.

 

2.Set the value of  registry key “EnablePMTUDiscovery” (at  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\) to 1

I hope this will be helpful to someone.

Windows XP SP3 installation error

Many times I come across issues in installing XP SP3 on PCs and laptops. Here are the two articles covering most of erros with the corrective actions:

http://www.reviewsaurus.com/tips-tricks/windows-xp-sp3-service-pack-3-install-problems/

and

http://news.softpedia.com/news/9-Critical-Errors-that-Will-Prevent-the-Installation-of-XP-SP3-RTM-Build-5512-85266.shtml


Apart from above scenarios, I have noticed that "automatic Updates" and
"Security Center " services should be running at the time of installation of the service pack.

I hope this helps.
