<p>I just subscribe Maxis broadband with <strong>HUAWEI E1762</strong> USB modem. I tried to install it on my Mac OS X 10.5 Machine. It works fine. But recently whenever I use the mobile partner dashboard in Mac OS X,the dialog “<em><strong>The application NetworkStatus quit unexpectedly.</strong></em>” pop up  continuously and unable to connect.</p>
<p>I tired to click on report button to view the error message, it look like NetworkStatus crashed.</p>
<p>Finally i found a patch from HUAWEI web site. The patch name called <strong>NetworkStatusPatch</strong>. I tried to install the patch and the NetworkStatus crash problem was solved.</p>
<p>Below are the few simple steps to solve this problem:-<span id="more-1704"></span></p>

<p>Below are the tips to learn how to tell if a CMOS battery is low.</p>
<ol>
<li>If your computer&#8217;s clock falling behind or continually incorrect even though you might have reset the time.</li>
<li>When the CMOS battery does get low, it will not be a crisis initially. You will have some time to open your computer and find out what replacement battery you will need.</li>
<li>With some computer models, you will receive an error message on your screen initially at startup. This message varies by manufacturer. You may also see a prompt at start up that states &#8220;Press F1 for setup or F2 to load default values.&#8221; Know that this could vary by computer brand.</li>
<li>Sometimes the computer will not show signs of failure at each boot up. It may be more random at first. Or, your computer may get to a certain point in the start up process and then freeze. And, rebooting does not seem to help this problem.</li>
<li>when the battery is drained entirely, it will not be able to save any of your settings and then the CMOS will need to be replaced.</li>
</ol>

<p>A lot of computer users still use mice with rolling, rubber balls underneath them. If your mouse stops tracking correctly, or jerks around onscreen without a software problem, your mouse might need cleaning.</p>
<ol>
<li>Flip your mouse upside down. If it&#8217;s has a rolling ball, you will see a ball surrounded by a small circular cover with indentations in it. Move the circular cover counter-clockwise or clockwise until it comes off. The mouse ball may fall out and onto the floor, so be careful that it doesn&#8217;t roll away.</li>
<li>The ball itself isn&#8217;t dirty. It&#8217;s made out of rubber. What is dirty are the circular sensors that turn as the mouse ball moves. They sometimes accumulate hair, fiber and dirt, causing tracking problems.</li>
<li>Take a swab and rub all foreign matter off of these small circular wheels. You may need to spin them with the swab or your fingertip to remove all the gunk.</li>
<li>When the tracking wheels are clean, put the mouse ball back in the socket, and spin the cover closed. Your mouse should now track in a much smoother manner.</li>
<li>To keep your mouse tracking well, clean the inside wheels every few months.</li>
</ol>
