Solve : nvidia control panel and launcher.exe problem? |
|
Answer» I hope someone here can help me out because this is driving me nuts. The problem been is that I have 2 games that both launch using the the same name launch.exe. These games, Il2 and lockon, do both launch INDEPENDENTLY, but I want to change the setting in nvidia control panel for both these game sepratly. The problem is each time I try to add them in the nvidia control panel it just keeps recognizes the lockon launch.exe. I have tried changing the name of the il2 launch.exe file, but then the game wont launch. Can someone please help me out here? Both these files are names launch.exe Thanks!!Create a seperate hardware profile for playing each game... Create a seperate hardware profile for playing each game... I have windows 7 ultimate and this is driving me nuts. I have just bought another game and GUESS what? It uses the same name as the other two to launch "launcher.exe." What the *censored* happened to naming them with a few letters using the name of the games like bh2.exe etc. So just to recap I now have 3 "launcher.exe" files that are for three different games and the Nvidia control panel only recognizes one because they all have the same name. Therefore I cannot independently change the setting for all three of these games in the Nvidia control panel. ANYONE got any ideas - Please?almost every game I've encountered that has a "launcher" program, the launcher is almost ALWAYS a "stub" program that runs another program, usually after a few Anti-piracy and CD checks and so forth. So when you have the games running, see what their processes show up as in task manager to be sure that they are really "launcher.exe", and not some other program. If they called launcher.exe, you could try renaming them to a more descriptive name and see if that works- then you can add it to Nvidia control panel. One more THING about NVidia control panel: Unless you have a specific reason to tweak the lower level settings (CUDA, Extension String length limit, Max pre-rendered frames, Multi-display ,etc), it is usually better (and far less stressful ) to simply change the configurations in-game. |

Solve : Help Getting Around Uninstall Shield? |
|
Answer» I bought NWN 2 a few weeks ago, and installed it. Everything seemed fine until I try to leave the first room of the game. Then my computer goes to a blue screen which shows some information that I can’t read in time, then Restarts. I’ve tried defragging but that didn’t work. When I try to uninstall or repair the program this prompt pops up from NWN 2. Then my computer goes to a blue screen which shows some information that I can’t read in time, then Restarts.Have you turned off Auto re-boot on System FAILURE?Sorry I wasn't clear. The defrag did go as normal, but it didn't have any effect over my problem. I ended up just using System Restore. It worked. I thought I was in the clear and happily re-installed the game. Exact same issue as before. I turned off auto-reboot so I could get a better look at the problem. The blue screen gives this technical information along with the regular spiel. ***STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x0BFBB1F93, 0xEB102A88, 0x00000000) ***nv4_disp.d11 - adress BFBB1F93 base at BF9D4000, DateStamp 424ddded Beggining dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete I feel bad getting your guy's help for this, it's Atari that should be helping me out.That error points towards Microsoft {KB 325730} but Microsoft is not playing fair at the moment. The Knowledge Base (KB) Article You Requested Is Currently Not Available I'll try again later for it. Because of the nvidia reference I must ask if you updated your video drivers from the manufacturer's website? You mentioned no game patches, I clicked on your link and found one straight away.MSDN is showing no results either... I'll keep trying as well. Have you recently added any hardware to that machine ? ? Check Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager to make sure nothing is wonked...wonked :-? |

Solve : Where does software live?? |
|
Answer» No...you don't need them... When I chose Linux, it looks like I can immediately burn a CD.Yes.Everything is LOOKING up this morning! Last night I could not make a rescue CD because I got a message saying I needed to install a DVD or other erasible media. All I had was a CD-R. I tried again this morning and it worked. Go figure. I made a Macrium rescue CD using the CD-R. It said to check the compatibility of the rescue CD by using it to boot-up after COMPLETELY powering down computer. I did that and it seemed to boot-up fine. It took me to the Macrium Image restore Wizard. I clicked next and got the dialog box asking me which partiton I wanted to restore and where I wanted it restored. So, I guess all is well. You guys are the greatest. I wish I had a more fundamental understanding of what is going on so I didn't have to ask so many silly questions, but all seems to be well now. Patio, why do you bother to make a DVD of the back-up image you create on your external HD? I uninstalled BartPE but I wonder if the multitude of plug-in files I created are still on my computer? Should I search for them and DELETE them? Thanks. Quote Patio, why do you bother to make a DVD of the back-up image you create on your external HD? A few reasoms but i'll explain my backup regimin 1st... I create an image every Sunday night to the external. Once a Month i burn the latest image to a DVD and store it and delete all but the latest one. This accomplishes 2 things....it frees up space on the external for new images... It also gives me a hard copy backup in case of a HDD failure...double redundancy... After all any HDD can fail...even external ones.Thanks Patio. Do you compress your back-up image before you copy to DVD? I assume there is a way to do that.I do NOT....i also refrain from running any disk management tools including defrag on a HDD that has stored images... Bad Ju-Ju...Quote from: patio on April 05, 2011, 11:33:39 AM I do NOT....i also refrain from running any disk management tools including defrag on a HDD that has stored images...Quote Juju or Ju-Ju is a word of West African origin, derived from the French JOUJOU (toy)Was that "explanation" really necessary, Geek-9pm?Quote from: BC_Programmer on April 05, 2011, 05:07:24 PM Was that "explanation" really necessary, Geek-9pm?Just want to be helpful. EDIT: Maybe I should have said: 'I agree with Patio in principal, because backup storage is now very low cost. Therefore the extra step of compression adds a level of needless compromise to the objective.' |

Solve : Ms-Word and PDF? |

Answer» Let we have created a doument in MS word named test.doc. i want to save it in .pdf format how is it possible. and one thing how to open the .pdf file in ms word.xenium007 ..... I'm wondering why if you have MS word installed , why would you want to save it in pdf format ? I have MS Office 2003 and on MS Word I have this option to convert a .doc file into a .pdf file. I don't know if this is usual or if a program on my laptop enables this but I am able to convert my word files to a pdf file.If you have that capability, then you have some add-on program installed. Conversion to PDF is NOT a standard feature of Word or MS Office. Quote I have MS Office 2003 and on MS Word I have this option to convert a .doc file into a .pdf file. I don't know if this is usual or if a program on my laptop enables this but I am able to convert my word files to a pdf file. Hi you are probably thinking about "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer " it's part of Office 2003 and creates MS image files or TIFF files from documents. It's not widely used, PDF is pretty much the defacto standard for document images Quote QuoteI have MS Office 2003 and on MS Word I have this option to convert a .doc file into a .pdf file. I don't know if this is usual or if a program on my laptop enables this but I am able to convert my word files to a pdf file. No I know exactly what "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" is as I use that when I don't have my printer. I actually have the Adobe Reader sign in the corner and when I put my mouse over it it says "Convert to Adobe PDF". I'd go with what soybean says, that I may perhaps have an add-on which I'm currently not sure how I got it but I ain't complaining it's quite a useful tool for me.Meanwhile xenium has scored his third drive-by this month... Where's wangming when we need him ? ?Just another reason for a SinBin. |

However, when I click send/receive under Outlook Express to CHECK my mail a menu pops up that reads "Dial up connection", "Connect to:" and there are no options. I don't understand why it's asking me to connect when I'm already connected to the internet. I checked on my outgoing/ingoing mail servers, which are correct. I use 1and1.com for my website. I do not know how to get by this problem. Can ANYONE help, thank you.smoot01 .......... Do you use dial-up to connect to the net? When did this situation start ? Please let us know . dl65 This started today... and I connect to the internet automatically through a wireless connection.smoot01..... Go into outlook express ...options / connections and be sure that never dial a connection is TICKED ......... dl65 I don't see that option under options>connectionsQuote I don't see that option under options>connections Actually Outlook Express shares your internet connection, so when you click on tools (in Outlook express) then click on "options", then click on "connection", you should see "internet connections" and a "change" button next to that. Click on the "change" button and that will redirect you into your internet properties. That is what dl65 was saying. Make sure that your internet settings are correct.Also check Outlook>FILE>Work Offline, make sure it's not ticked. |

If this is what you are talking about, because this is best guess.Try PUTTING it in a zip/rar archive with a password, then removing the original folder. Is this what you want to do?C'mon GX...i know you're a BIG fan of encryption.Another user just waiting to be locked out of his own files! |

Solve : PC Haunted?? |
|
Answer» My problem started out with grub. Then things got worse. It got so I couldn't get either XP or Ubuntu to load on drive 1. And now the same thing with drive 2, Vista. No, it is not Haunted.Hi Geek ,SORRY that I couldn't get back sooner to thank you but I'm quite sure that it's haunted alright And you're sure right when you say that the answer was not simple. Anyway, you did help and as informative as your message was, it was actually the the link that you provided did that. I was getting a little desperate. Until then, nothing seemed to work , and I'm especially disappointed in "disk imaging". I had previously (just last week) imaged the disks with both Easeus and Macrium Reflect( I was told successfully) but when it came time for recovery a file was missing? I've kinda lost faith in that system now. So, figured I had no other choice but to start over. But even after wiping,formatting,re wiping and reformatting there was still remnants of the grub remaining on both disks. Finally, I read that I could load Vista from an upgrade disk. Even then I had a terrible time getting the Vista disk recognized, ( I don't know how many times I booted and rebooted) before it the Vista disk was recognized. I kept receiving a message relating to grub. Told you it's haunted . Anyway, I'm currently downloading Windows Updates (100+) and so far anyway, Vista appears to be running OK. Next, I'm going to borrow a XP disk from a neighbor and see if I can get that running on my other HDD. Then I'll see what other kind of trouble I can get into. Thanks again, overthehill |

Solve : AMD Sempron 3100+? |
|
Answer» Hi all....I purchased a Genius MousePen Tablet for drawing on the computer. The requirements include a PENTIUM 166 processor or faster. I have an AMD Sempron 3100+, with 256kb L2 cache. Is this equivalent? Do you think the MousePen Tablet will work with my system? ThanksYour AMD Sempron 3100+ is much faster than a pentium 166 processor. So, it should run just fine.Thank you so much for your response. I have been trying to figure it out for a week or so! I think that my AMD Sempron is the least (productive?) because it was on the cheaper side. I was not sure what the real difference is between pentium and sempron. THANKS!!!!!A comparison of different types of processors is a rather technical AREA. But, there's really no need to get into such details for your situation. The reason is that the minimum requirement of a pentium 166 indicates a Penium running at 166MHz clock speed, or processor speed, which is far slower that the 1.8GHz (this equals 1,800MHz) Sempron 3100+. The 166MHz speed rating indicates an early Pentium (equals Pentium I), which preceeded Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium IV processors. In other words, a pentium 166 is a very old processor, while the Sempron 3100+ came onto the market much later, and EVEN the first Sempron processors were much faster than that 166MHz Pentium.I read that the ADM Sempron 3100+ are the "weakest" processors. I did buy my computer new but it was about $400. It is missing a 64 BIT something that the later Sempron's have...do you think that might effect the Tablet working? Do you think the Tablet program will run slowly? Your AMD Sempron 3100+ is much faster than a pentium 166 processor. So, it should run just fine.Let me re-phrase that a little. It WILL run fine. Believe me, comparing the Pentium 166 to a Sempron 3100 is like comparing a horse-carriage to a space rocket. There should be no problems And an AMD 3100 is far from being a "WEAK" processer unless you would be comparing it to the latest and greatest...you should get many years of servicable use out of that CPU. |

Answer» Got my WD external harddrive today. It is the Elements model without WD's bothersome SmartWare back-up software. My computer recognizes it fine. Just downloaded Macrium Reflect. All SYSTEMS go for back-up, I think. Yepper... Thanks Patio. I already have the recovery CD's - they were made by Circuit City when I bought the computer. I was concerned that they may be corrupted because they are 5 years old plus I have never used them so I don't know if they were made ok to begin with. I was thinking that a back-up on my external harddrive would be good insurance.Several backups would be better. I image my system partitions once a week to external drives, keeping the two or three most recent versions. Also, be sure to enable verification of the image during creation.Quote from: Allan on April 02, 2011, 03:57:05 PM Several backups would be better. I image my system partitions once a week to external drives, keeping the two or three most recent versions. Also, be sure to enable verification of the image during creation. Allan, do you put each partition on a separate external harddrive? Do you put each of you 2 or 3 most recent images on separate harddrives?Actually I have several external drives. I create weekly images of my system partition and keep 2 or 3 on one external drive and then about once a month create images of the other partitions. Also, once a month or so I create images of all partitions and put them on a different external drive - overly cautious Quote from: Allan on April 02, 2011, 04:18:06 PM Actually I have several external drives.

Also, once a month or so I create images of all partitions and put them on a different external drive - overly cautious Thanks Allan. By "system" partition, you mean the drive that contains your OS?iGood Morning! I have created and verified a back-up image of my internal harddrive (system partition and recovery partition). Macrium asked me if I wanted to create bootable rescue CD's. I went thru the wizard but it kept going in a circle. Before I installed Macrium I tried to make recovery CD's (actually I was just exploring to see how you would do it) and I got a message saying that a set of recovery CD's had already been made and only set per computer is allowed. Is that why I could not make a set using Macrium? Are the Macrium bootable rescue CD's the same as recovery CD's? Should I now disconnect the external harddrive? I will probably update manually. Finally, how do I use my recovery CD's and back-up image in the EVENT of a catastrophic failure of my internal harddrive? If I wake up tomorrow and discover my internal HD is toast, what do I do? I am guessing that I would: 1. Remove BAD HD and install a new replacement. 2. Load my 3 recovery CD's. 3. Follow directions? Thanks. |

Solve : uninstalling programs not used? |
|
Answer» I received a compaq COMPUTER from two friends a couple of years ago w/ MS Windows XP SP2 256 MB Ram. I need to remove some programs so I have room to download digital camera software & some spyware prevention programs. I currently only have 1.17 gb free space on c drive. I currently only have 1.17 gb free space on c drive. I'm suprised that machine isn't completely bogged down yet. What else is taking up space on that HDD ? ? Firefox is relatively small; Safecast is for registering and using TurboTax; you could dump Adobe for Foxit a PDF reader that's much smaller... But i still think you're barking up the wrong tree. DVD burners are down to about 50 bucks...have you considered one of those ? ?If you don't use Adobe Acrobat, Adobe's PDF creation software, you might as well uninstall it. You say it does not show up in add or remove programs. Download CCleaner and use it's uninstaller. It may show things that windows add or remove programs does not. Same thing for Acrobat Reader 4.0. Also run CCleaner's Applications scan and Windows scan to clean out some unnecessary files. Acrobat Reader 7.0 is the best version of Acrobat Reader. But, it would take for disk space than Acrobat Reader 5.0. So, try the Foxit suggested by Patio. Have you thought about getting a bigger hard drive? Sounds like to want to use your computer to do some work with with digital pictures. If you can't free up much space, you might be quite limited in your digital photo ambitions, as far as downloading photos to your computer and doing some photo editing.in response to patio, i burned some programs to a cd & then later could not get cds to work as programs would not run properly. not sure why i do not want to get rid of adobe acrobat 5.0 now so that i can open adobe acrobat documents & don't have money at the moment to install adobe acrobat 7.0---my question was if i remove adobe acrobat 4.0 will that mess up running adobe acrobat 5.0 or adobe photoshop 5.0? I have safecast installed as a program, probably got it when i installed turbotax past several yrs. i currently only have turbotax 2005 installed. i did a google search & couldn't tell if turbotax is still installing safecast as late as 2005 software. if i delete safecast, will it keep me from running turbotax 2005? wap11 usb program was also on my pc. i use dial up internet. assume i should delete this program? You seem to have a misunderstanding of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader. Acrobat is the program used to create PDF documents and is not free. Adobe Reader (formerly called Adobe Acrobat Reader) is the software used to read PDF documents and is free; anyone can download it. And the Foxit Reader Patio mentioned, an alternative to Adobe Reader, is a smaller program and would take LESS disk space. If, indeed, you have both adobe acrobat 4.0 and adobe acrobat 5.0 installed, why not at least uninstall adobe acrobat 4.0? Can you give a reason why you need two versions? And, again, do you use adobe acrobat at all? If not, then you could uninstall both versions. And, surely, uninstalling adobe acrobat will not mess up adobe photoshop 5.0. Why would it? Is having adobe acrobat installed a system requirement for running adobe photoshop 5.0? As far as I know, it is not. Deleting wap11 usb program should be no problem, since you aren't using wireless Internet connection.i deleted adobe acrobat 4.0 earlier today. i am currently REMOVING wap11 usb. I have safecast installed as a program, probably got it when i installed turbotax past several yrs. i currently only have turbotax 2005 installed. i did a google search & couldn't tell if turbotax is still installing safecast as late as 2005 software. if i delete safecast, will it keep me from running turbotax 2005? also, how can i move a program to a thumb drive & then burn it on a cd so it can be used later? i tried this previously but was unable to run program from cd. thanksYou cannot copy/move a program and have it work at a later time...they have to be installed to work properly ...i wouldn't un-install any programs that you don't have original CD's for otherwise you RISK losing that program for good...You might post your question about safecast here: http://forums.turbotax.com/How big is your HDD, a stripped down clean install of XP only uses about 200 MBs. Someone will confirm that # or chew my ear about it.I believe it takes more than 200MB. The hard disk space requirements for Windows XP Service Pack 2 says "Total hard disk space required if the System Restore feature is not enabled" is 395MB. I forgot about SP2. i only have 256 mb of ram on pc & MS office xp professional w/ front page says it is taking up 463 mbMemory (RAM) and hard drive space are totally different things.Just a thought but if you are hardware friendly with computers or know someone who is..Install a second harddrive you can pick up a 40 gig for cheap its good for things like storing pics or music etc..I and my wife do this so we dont plug up our main hdd.. |

Solve : winzip, winrar problems when extracting programs? |
|
Answer» Whenever I use Win-Zip self extractor to install my AVG anti-virus program...It gives me a error STATING this: Whenever I use Win-Zip self extractor to install my AVG anti-virus program...It gives me a error stating this: What OPERATING system are you using ? Did you have ( or perhaps STILL have ) some virus ? Is the error message you included exactly as you show it or did you manually type it in .....? Are you using Win-Zip or Winrar to extract? let us know dl65 Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 I'm pretty sure I dont have a virus. I manually typed it but its the exact text. Win-Zip Self ExtractSo uh...any help?Windows 16 bit subsystem probably requires compatability mode. Try running the wizzard on the file BEFORE extracting.Ok, can you say that again? in a way that will not confuse my simple mind.Go to Start -> PROGRAMS -> Accesoires -> Compatability Wizard.Well I tried to install the anti virus program again, under the other compatibility modes, but it still gives me those errors.You can attempt to use a program such as WinrarIts a file where you extract it and it is supposed to run the setup wizard. after it unzips automatically, it runs the setup icon automatically, then it gives me the error. So i'm not sure if its the extraction installer, or the program itself.If the extraction was succesful, the file is most likely corrupted. Download it again or from a different source. |
