How to train above level 30 in "Yendorian Tales 3 - The Tyrants of Thaine"?

Problem

In Yendorian Tales 3, The Tyrants of Thaine I cannot train above level 30. The only potential trainer seems to be the one in the keep, but he does not yet accept me.


Solution

I went through the following steps

  • Opened the save file with a hex editor
  • Searched for "1E" hex value (meaning 30 in decimal, as in level 30 of one character), changed it to "1F" (decimal 31)
  • This increased the level of one of the characters to 31 (mine was the 4th character)
  • Loaded up the save-game, went to the trainer in the keep. The trainer unlocked something, because I could trained one of the level 30 guys to 31 (in my case the 1st character), then saved
  • With the editor I decreased the artificially increased level of the 4th character back to 30. Loaded up the game and proceeded normally

I am not sure, but I might have downloaded the game from DOS Games Archive.

Before you play this, you should definitely check out Yendor 2

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL BSOD

In the last days my computer became unusable and restarted every 5-10 minutes with a blue screen of death displaying the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (netio.sys) error.
I am using Windows 8 and I have narrowed down that the error only occurs when uTorrent is running.

Troublefixers.com finally offered a usable solution and I want to spare others from going through all the bull$hit that websites make you do. They urge you to refresh all of your drivers (after downloading crap from the hells of the internet), start Windows in safe mode and all of that useless nonsense.

In my case the cause of the problem was Teredo tunneling. Everything got back to normal after I have executed the following command line in admin mode:

netsh interface teredo set state disabled

Firefox middle click tab opening not working

Since yesterday I cannot open a new tab by middle-clicking or Ctrl-clicking on a link in Firefox. I tried a lot of things to get rid of the problem (restart browser, restart computer, disable plugins installed lately) but nothing worked.

Disabling Tab-Mix-Plus made the issue go away but it turns out that Tab-Mix-Plus wasn't the (only) cause. To fix the problem download the latest Greasemonkey version 0.9.11. This makes the issue go away and you can continue using Tab-Mix-Plus.

Happy as a clam.
