Solution to Error 0x00000709

Two days spent on this problem. In this problem, we can't set a printer to default.

Had two printers connected to a computer. Someone deleted the files without uninstalling one of the printers. And when I tried to change the default printer settings to the another printer, it didn't work. I couldn't set the new printer as default.

After a lot of research I found that, the register entry in Windows had the old printer name and id in the device entry.

Goto Start -> Run ->
Then type regedit
Select  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Exact location maybe slightly different.

Then I saw an entry by the name Device with the old printer detail.

Tried to change the name and even tried deleting the entry but due to permission problem, couldn't do so.

So,  changed the permission to allow everyone to edit it.

Then deleted the device entry.

Then restarted the computer with the new printer connected.

Eureka! It worked.

Managing Emotions

The life we have is very complicated. No matter how strong you are or how lucky you are, there comes a time when life hits you so hard, it just takes away the confidence, the smile and the happiness. And it is much harder for those who have used years to build themselves so strong that crying is not an option. At least, the tears would have let the emotions out and maybe caused some relief. But, tears are leisure these people don't have. Then how do we react to such situations?

Life really is a bitch. It hits you so hard, nothing hurts more than its punches. And you keep wondering what went wrong? What could I have done to not be in this situation? You question the "lord". You start questioning your philosophy. You start doubting yourself. At times, these situations are so bad, you feel helpless. You can't do a shit about the things happening around you. Makes you feel so weak. So damn unliving. So damn worthless. All the confidence drained out. All the hope drained out. And all the smiles lost in the ocean.

And my question again goes. How do you react to these situations?
