Once your Sim hacked, it will works with all browsing devices, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet/Phablet, Windows phone, Android device, iPhone, iPad, and all Others. Also works better with new blackberry devices.  

 
 
I can see that some people are complaining bitterly that MTN Free browsing With N0.0 no more response, here is better by far alternative for you to enjoy unlimited surfing. You can now allow the VPN apps to rest, enjoy super fast internet speed with MTN Magic Sim and Nothing like internet speed throttling. 
  

To Activate Unlimited Free Browsing On Your MTN SIM
» Load or transfer N250 worth of airtime to your MTN Sim (Transferring is recommended to avoid the free Megabytes bonus when loading)» After the transfer, dial *131*1*4*1#  to subscribe for MTN 2hrs data plan. N250 will be deducted from your SIM» Once the money has been deducted from your Sim, switch ON your data connection and browse for 5 to 10mins. (It must not exceed 10mins)
» Then, remove the SIM from your phone and keep it for 24 hours.» After 24 hours, insert the Sim back into your Phone or PC. then, you can start unlimited surfing!
You may receive a message that " Your subscription has expired", just ignore the message and keep flexing with your Magic Sim. I used MTN True Talk to activate mine. Guys, my Mtn SIM is floating in wonders, in fact, it is the one I used to published this post.

Note: In the game of Magic Tweak, risk is involved. If you can't play with your N250, don’t try it. So easy and simple, but risky.

how to design and code a stop watch using visual basic6.0

I will show you how to create a simple stopwatch for visual basic 6 beginners. This stopwatch consists of 3 labels called Label1, Label2, Label3 and 2 buttons called btnSart and btnExit.

1. Create 3 labels named Label1, Label2 and Label3.
2. Change the text of these labels to the number 0.
3. Create a Start/Stop button called btnStart.
4. Create an Exit button called btnExit.
5. Finally, create a timer called tmrTime. Make sure you change the timer interval to 1000 to represent 1 second. This can be placed anywhere in the form as it does not interfere with the design/object.

Then we start our coding. As long as you have labelled everything correctly, you can simple just type all this in without going back and referring to each component.

We will first code the button Start/Stop. This code means if the timer doesnt start automatically, this starts it.

Private Sub btnStart_Click()
If tmrTime.Enabled = False Then
tmrTime.Enabled = True
Else
tmrTime.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub



Next we will code the timer tmrTime. This basically means the timer will gradually add on 1 second and when it reaches 60 secs, the minute label will start. This is the same for the hour label.
Private Sub tmrTime_timer()
Label3.Caption = Val(Label3.Caption) + Val(1)
If Label3.Caption = 60 Then
Label2.Caption = Val(Label2.Caption) + Val(1)
Label3.Caption = 0
ElseIf Label2.Caption = 60 Then
Label1.Caption = Val(Label1.Caption) + Val(1)
Label2.Caption = 0
End If
End Sub



Now we will address the issue of the form. This means when the form loads, the timer will not start yet until you click the start/stop button.
Private Sub Form_Load()
tmrTime.Enabled = False
End Sub



Finally we code the Exit button. This just exits the program.
Private Sub btnExit_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub



Now the form should look similar to the attached image. You can also change the name of the form and give the hours, minutes and second a name label.

Thanks for viewing this tutorial.

create a simple calculator uwith visual basic

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Visual Basic 6.0 and create a new Standard EXE Project. Standard EXE projects give you a handful of commands and tools, useful to develop simple as well as semi-complex programs.
    • You can also choose a VB Enterprise Edition Project which will give you a lot more tools to work with. For a beginner programmer, it is suggested to use a Standard EXE Project.
  2. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 2
    2
    Understand the project screen. In the center of the screen will be a box with a lot of dots. This is your form. A form is the place where you will add the various elements (command buttons, pictures, text boxes, etc) to your program.
    • To the left of the screen is the toolbox. The Toolbox contains various pre-defined elements of any program. You can drag and drop these elements onto your form.
    • To the lower right of the screen is the form layout. This determines where your program will be displayed on the screen once the project is complete and executed.
    • On the mid-right is the properties box which determine the property of any element that is selected in a form. You can change various properties using this. If no element is selected, it displays the properties of the form.
    • On the top-right is the project explorer. It shows the various designs, forms that are included in a project.
    • If any of these boxes is missing, you can add them by clicking on the "View" button on the Menu bar.
  3. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 3
    3
    Drag a label onto the form, and change the caption of the label to "Enter first number".
    • The caption of a label can be changed using the properties box.
  4. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 4
    4
    Create a textbox to the right of the first label. Remove any text that appears inside the textbox by changing blanking the "Text" field in properties box.
  5. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 5

    Create another label and change the caption to "Enter second number" and create another textbox to its right.
  6. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 6
    6
    Drag and create four command buttons below these two labels. Change the caption of these command buttons to "Add", "Subtract", "Multiply", "Divide" respectively.
  7. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 7
    7
    Create another label with a caption "Result" and a textbox to the right of it below the four command buttons. This textbox will be used to display the result. With this, your design is complete.
  8. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 8
    8
    To start coding, in the project explorer, click on the form and then select the left-most button. It will take you to the coding screen.
    • Click on the list box in the top-left of the coding screen. One by one, click on all the commands (Command1, Command2, etc) so that the outline coding of them will be visible to you on your coding screen.
  9. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 9
    9
    Declare the variables. To declare:
    • Dim a, b, r as Integer
    • a is the value entered in the first textbox, b is the value entered in the second textbox and r is the result. You can any other variables too.
  10. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 10
    10
    Start the coding for the add command (Command1). The code will be as follows:
    • Private Sub Command1_Click()
      a = Val(Text1.Text)
      b = Val(Text2.Text)
      r = a + b
      Text3.Text = r
      End Sub
  11. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 11
    11
    Code for the subtract command (Command2). The code will be as follows:
    • Private Sub Command2_Click()
      a = Val(Text1.Text)
      b = Val(Text2.Text)
      r = a - b
      Text3.Text = r
      End Sub
  12. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 12
    12
    Code for the multiply command (Command3). The code will be as follows:
    • Private Sub Command3_Click()
      a = Val(Text1.Text)
      b = Val(Text2.Text)
      r = a * b
      Text3.Text = r
      End Sub
  13. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 13
    13
    Code for the divide command (Command4). The coding will be as follows:
    • Private Sub Command4_Click()
      a = Val(Text1.Text)
      b = Val(Text2.Text)
      r = a / b
      Text3.Text = r
      End Sub
  14. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 14
    14
    Click the start button or press F5 to execute your program.
    • Test all the commands and see if your program is working.
  15. Image titled Create a Simple Calculator in Visual Basic 6.0 Step 15

How To Install Windows 8 / 8.1 From a Flash Drive or USB Device

Installing Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 from a USB device, like a flash drive, has become one of the most common and essential thing this days.
It’s not surprising why many new computers, especially tablets and smaller laptops and desktops, no longer have optical drives.
That Windows 8 install disc is of no use and importance if there is no disk drive available to run the DVD!
If you want to install Windows 8 from a USB device, you’ll need to copy the setup files from the DVD to the USB drive. But, by copying it simply there won’t be everything. Windows 8 software is also sold as a downloadable ISO file which, if you choose to buy Windows 8 that way,it requires similar steps to get it properly copied to a USB drive.
Irrespective of the kind of Windows 8 DVD software you have, you need a flash drive to copy the setup, or a Windows 8 ISO file to achieve the same goal. The following steps will guide you through the installation process with the Windows 8 installation files properly copied to a flash drive.
Duration:Transferring/ Copying the Windows 8 installation files into a flash drive or other external USB device will take between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the format your copy of Windows 8 is in right now and the speed of your computer.
Compatibility:The following steps can also be used for Windows 8 (standard) or Windows 8 Pro, as well as those editions of Windows 8.1.
Required Materials:
*.A USB flash drive (4 GB for 32-bit, 8 GB for 64-bit)
*.A Windows 8/8.1 DVD or ISO
*.Availability of a computer with a DVD drive, if you have a Windows 8 DVD installation disk) with either of these operating systems (Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP) installed or the Availability of an External USB DVD Drive.
NOTE:If you have a Windows 8 ISO file and you want to transfer it to a flash drive, begin with second step (Step 2) but if you have a Windows 8 DVD instead, Proceed from Step 1.
Installing Windows 8 or 8.1 From a USB Device
1.Create an ISO file from the Windows 8 DVD. This is the process in which you create a single file, called an ISO image, which contains all the data stored on the Windows 8 setup DVD disc. This ISO file can be created with Daemon Tool or Ripping.Once you have an ISO image created from your Windows 8 disc, come back here and continue on with this tutorial which will explain how to get that ISO file onto a flash drive.Note:If you have created your ISO file already with your favorite program, called “ripping,” then you can use whatever application or software you mostly use. However, if you’ve never created an ISO image, or don’t have a program installed right now that does it, Kindly search for tools and application with a video tutorial on how to Create an ISO file.
2. Download the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Toolfrom Microsoft and then install it.This is a free Microsoft program that helps to properly format your flash drive and then copies the contents of the Windows 8 installation ISO file you have to the USB flash drive.Note:Don’t be disturbed by the program title “Windows 7”. This program works perfectly well with Windows 8 ISO files which is compatible with all these windows Operating systems, e.g. Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP.
3.Launch theWindows 7 USB DVD Download Toolprogram. The shortcut should appear on the Desktop, as well as in “All Programs” on your Start menu, depending on Version of Windows you installed on your computer.
4.OnStep 1 of 4: Choose ISO filescreen, ClickBrowse
5.Locate, and then select, your Windows 8 ISO file. Then click or touchOpen.Note:If you have downloaded Windows 8 from Microsoft, check your Downloads folder or your Desktop for the ISO image. If you created an ISO image from your Windows 8 DVD, the ISO file will be wherever you have created it.
6.ClickNext.
7.At theStep 2 of 4: Choose media typescreen, SelectUSB deviceNote:At this stage, you can see that there is also aDVDoption. Since our aim is to transfer Windows 8’s setup files to a USB flash drive, this tool you can also be used to burn a Windows 8 ISO image to a DVD or BD disc.
8.At theStep 3 of 4: Insert USB devicescreen, choose from the drop-down list the USB flash drive or USB external hard drive which you want to copy the Windows 8 setup files into and then clickBegin copying.Tip:If the USB storage device you’re planning to use hasn’t been connected, you can insert it into the computer now and then click the blue refresh button to make it show up on the list.
9.ClickErase USB Deviceif you are prompted with a “Not Enough Free Spacewindow” message. If this message doesn’t appear, don’t worry, it means that your flash drive or external hard disk is already empty.Note:Every data/file you might have on this USB drive is going to be deleted as part of the process of getting the Windows 8 installation files copied.
10.OnStep 4 of 4:Creating bootable USB device, At this point, the Windows 8 installation files will begin to copy, it just takes few minutes for the Windows 7 USB DVD Downloaded Tool to prepare the drive.The firstProcessyou will see isFormatting, which will be done under few seconds, depending on the size of your USB drive. The next process will beCopying fileswhich could take up to 30 minutes long, depending on which Windows 8 ISO file you’re working from, as well as You computer speed.
11.If all stages were successfully completed, then the next screen should displayBootable USB device created successfullywith aStatusthat saysBackup completed.You can now close the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool program window. The flash drive, or other external USB drive you’re using has now been properly configured as a bootable device and also has the necessary files to install Windows 8 on any system.
12.Boot from the USB device that you just created to start the Windows 8 install process.Tip:If the Windows 8 setup process doesn’t start, it’s very likely that you’ll need to make boot order changes in the BIOS. See How To Change the Boot Order in BIOSif you need help doing that.Tip:If you have a UEFI based system and you still can’t boot Windows 8 Setup from the flash drive, even after setting the USB device first in the boot order, see Tip #1 below for help.
Tips & More Information
1. The Windows 7 USB DVD Downloaded Tool formats your USB drive as NTFS, a file system that many UEFI based computers will not boot from when on a USB drive.
To work around this issue, do this:
*.After Step 11 above, copyall the filesfrom your flash drive to a named folder on your PC.
*.Manually Format the flash drive, with the older FAT32 file system option.
*.Copy backall the filesfrom the named folder you created in Tip 1.1 back to the flash drive.
*.Repeat Step 12 above.
2. There are other alternative methods for getting a Windows 8 or 8.1 ISO image properly onto a USB flash drive but I prefer the procedure I’ve outlined above, but if you have trouble with it, that general ISO-to-USB procedure should work as well.

How to Disable the Lock Screen in Windows 8

How to Disable the Lock Screen in Windows 8
It’s good to be back in the Windows 8ecosystem. While Windows 10 Technical Preview brought a few overhauls in my computer, nothing beats a stable activated OS for serious work and writing stints.
There are notable tricks and hacks in Windows 8that we haven’t yet covered to increase our productivity, improve user experience. There are even simple tweaks such as how to disable the lock screen through Registry Editor.
Similar to your smartphone’s lock screen, Windows 8 also shows the time, date, battery percentage, etc., and for any PC user who would like to remove it and go straight to account login, here’s how to do it.
How to disable the lock screen via Registry Editor
Note:You will need to close all the running programs or reboot the PC prior to making registry edits, and make sure you’re logged in as the Administrator. This hack works in any version of Windows 8.
1. Press “Window key + R” on your keyboard to launch the Run bar.
2. In the Run bar, typeregedit.
3. Click “Yes” once the UAC asks you for access.
4. From the Registry Editor folders, go to this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsPersonalisation
5. If you can’t find the folder “Personalisation,” you need to create the folder first to keep the DWORD “NoLockScreen.”
6. Right-click the “Windows” folder and then hover the mouse to “New” and choose “Key.” Label the key “Personalisation.”
7. Right-click the “Personalisation” folder and hover the mouse to “New.” Choose the “DWORD (32-bit) value” and you’ll see the new value in the folder.
8. Label the DWORD “NoLockScreen.”
9. Right-click “NoLockScreen” and click “Modify.” Change the value from 0 to 1 and click OK.
10. Exit the Registry Editor and reboot/restart your PC. You have successfully tweaked the lock screen if your screen shows you the user login instead of the lock screen.
However, in this tutorial, my first attempt was unsuccessful because of this one letter that the system was unable to acknowledge:“S”
Note: My OS runs a US-English language, and I labelled the key “Personalisation” (following UK-English for screenshot purposes) instead of “Personalization.” After restarting the system, the lock screen wasn’t disabled. So, I renamed the folder following the US spelling of “Personalization,” restarted the PC and now I bypassed it.
If you decide to get the lock screen back, simply follow the first four steps above, and under the “Windows” folder, right-click “Personalization” key and choose “Delete.” Exit the Registry Editor and restart the system; you’ll find the lock screen again after startup, safe and sound.
Again, make sure that you’re on that same path as mentioned.
Note:you can also disable the lock screen in Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8 Enterprise using the Local Policy Editor.
Windows 8-powered tablets
If you have a Windows 8-powered tablet, you may find this tweak irrelevant since the lock screen is one of the vital elements for checking out updates, time, and add-on widgets. However, if you want to try it, do let us know how it works on your side.
