"Process system not responding" in Android - freeze plus reboot loop

After changing the SIM card or playing with WiFi settings in your Android device (stock or otherwise), you may see "Process system not responding" with a forced reboot.

This is what worked for me. Take your pick from the easiest to the hardest one: 
  • Remove the battery. Let the power drain for 10 seconds and reinsert it. (Yes, only that.)
  • Clear Dalvik Cache in the Recovery Mode.
  • Change the boot animation to a shorter one. Try this one.
  • Remove the Google Backup service. See here.

SDL Trados Memories - "The translation provider does not support any language pair in this project or project template"

If you see this error:
The translation provider does not support any language pair in this project or project template
when adding a memory in SDL Trados Studio, you can quickly change the language pair, from e.g. EN-GB to EN-US, so as to match your project settings, using any free SQL editor.

  • Open the TM Memory file (*.sdltm)

  • Go to Browse Data and change the "Translation Memories" blob parameters:
from e.g. en-GB to en-US.

  • Open the newly fixed memory in your SDL Trados project:



It is the quickest way to adjust the large (2 GB) EU memories to suit your project settings.

"PwNative program not found" after copying partitions

This error happens when using MiniTool Partition Wizard to move or copy a Windows OS to a new partition:

pwnative program not found 
autocheck program not found

To fix this bug, just overwrite your new
\system32\config 
files with the ones in the
\system32\config\RegBack
folder.

Assuming that your new Windows is on the D: partition, do this in a DOS window:

d:
cd d:\windows\system32\config \
xcopy RegBack\*.* 
 Or else, fire off Explorer from another boot drive and fix it manually.
