How to run Turbo C on Ubuntu

In order to run Turbo C on Linux. You'll need to install a third party programs such as Dosemu, DosBox, Wine, Crossover and other emulators that could interpret windows-based application.
In my part I'm using Dosemu. To install Dosemu just type this command in your terminal "sudo apt-get install dosemu" , then download the latest version of Turbo C compiler. Save it on your home directory. After downloading open your terminal and run Dosemu by typing this command "sudo dosemu". In your DOS window where Drive C: is your default drive type this command "cd d:(where D: is your /home directory)" and locate the TC folder you've downloaded.

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)

Blue Screen of Death (relatively known as BSOD) is a bottleneck problem to all computer users. Why it is happen? And, what are the causes of this? Well, there's a lot of factors for this issue. As the ff;

1. Hardware
a. RAM (Random Access Memory)
If we are using a defective memory, expect that BSOD will on your way. As a remedy for this,try to scratch the terminal of your memory with pencil eraser; clean the memory bank by scrubbing with a clean toothbrush or paint brush. Also, try to apply a minimal heat to all the circuits in the memory module just like what CP technicians did to a cellphone's circuit board. I suggested these because i tried these and solved my problem.

b. HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
The same concept as in RAM. If your HDD has a bad sectors or unstable system files due to scaterred viruses this would led to BSOD. To avoid bad sector always protect our computers through;
> proper shutdown
> free from viruses, spywares and etc.
> stable power supply
> earthed AC outlet

Always use UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) to protect your system against electrical surges and fluctuation. Without these devices your system is at risk.

Use HDD regenerator or other related utilities to regenerate your HDD and fix its bad sector.

Also consider if you installed new hardware. Hardware incompatability may cause BSOD. Try to check hardware compatability list (HCL).

2. Software
Upon OS installation be sure that all packages needed by the unit to run were successfully installed. Else, this might develop problems later. BSOD occur if there's a missing file needed by the system that can't be access. To solve this, just reinstall the program and be sure that all the packages will be copied to your HDD.

Also consider if you installed hardware driver. Faulty driver may cause system to crash. Also perform restore point before doing anything in your system.

Also, check the IRQ (interrupts) settings for conflicts. Incorrect IRQ settings could cause system malfunction.

Manual removal of SCVHOST.exe and HINHEM.scr

STEP 1. Download Restrictions Removal Tool V3.0
This is a good tool to enable Task Manager, Folder Options, Command Prompt, and Regedit that has been disabled by SCVHOST.exe.

STEP 2. Run the RRT tool and enable the restricted features of your system. Then, try to open Task Manager and find scvhost.exe running in the processes. Usually two to three scvhost running in the processes. Terminate them all and proceed to STEP 5. But, if the Task Manager suddenly disappeared, just proceed to STEP 3.

(Be patient in working with Task Manager....scvhost disabled it after several seconds...so you'll need to find quickly the scvhost in the processes and terminate them. Try also to find SCCVIHOST in the processes if there is terminate them also.)

STEP 3. If there's nothing happen, go to system32 and find autorun.inf and delete it. Then restart your computer. This is to avoid the SCVHOST.exe to run after you reboot your system.

STEP 4. Do the STEP 2 again.

STEP 5. Go to Windows folder and find SCVHOST.exe and HINHEM.scr and then delete it.

STEP 6. Next, open the system32 folder and find the SCVHOST folder and then delete it. Also find SCCVIHOST, BLASTCLNNN folders and BLASTCLN.exe, if there is, delete them.

STEP 6. Open the REGEDIT ( type REGEDIT in the textbox and hit . When the REGEDIT window appeared, press F3 then type the SCVHOST in the textbox and press Enter. Delete the file you found....press F3 again and again and delete all the searched file until it will gone.

STEP 7. Do the STEP 6, but this time we will be looking for HINHEM.

NOTE! Use shift+del instead of del to ensure that they are deleted permanently. Use the batch file in the below article before doing step 1. This could help you a lot.

Restart............

DONE!
