How to install Vinyl Laptop Skins

· One min read

Start with a clean laptop and a clean, flat working surface. To clean your laptop’s external surface, we recommend a damp lint-free cloth. Basically, you want to make sure your laptop is dry and free from any oil, dirt, or residue before beginning the skin installation.

  1. Carefully remove the laptop skin from its backing, with each person holding 2 corners. Hold the skin taut (but don’t pull!) and line it up over the top of the laptop, aligning the corners.
  2. Set the skin down gently and put light pressure in the centre of the skin to bond it to the surface.
  3. Working from the centre, gently bond the skin across the laptop from the center to the outside edges, pressing out any bubbles.
  4. If you need to trim the skin to fit, bond the skin well around all edges first, then use a sharp utility knife and gently run the blade down the edge that needs to be trimmed.

Advpack.dll Not Found

· 2 min read

Advpack.dll Not Found is only one version of the error messages that Advpack.dll can create – “”This application failed to start because advpack.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem” is another known error.

Although mainly occurring in the older versions of Windows I have seen this error occur from Windows XP through to Windows 7 and is mainly caused by installing the wrong .Net Framework for your computers architecture – for example attempting to install .Net Framework x86 on a 64 bit version of Windows.

Fixing this error in Windows 7​

  1. Click Start
  2. Click Control Panel
  3. Click Uninstall Programs and select “Turn Windows features on or off” on the top left.
  4. Click on “Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1”.
  5. Expand “Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1” and place a check mark on 2 options listed to enable.
  6. Restart the Computer.

 

Fixing this error in Windows XP​
