Often when you try to load a certain page through Google Chrome it displays the error “Oops This Link Appears to Be Broken” and hence does not load the page.

A client of mine is using Windows 7 and he reported a weird problem with his system. He told me that his mouse was behaving strange as it would select anything while he was hovering the mouse around.

Ipconfig /registerdns: RPC Server Unavailable Error

by

If a new machine is brought into the Windows domain, it automatically registers itself in the DNS server so that we can call it by name rather than the IP address.
