Yep, I still use X-Setup to adjust things in all versions of Windows. I'm not normally looking for performance, just fixing things that I don't like the defaults for. Note that X-Setup has gone pay, the last free version was 6.6

I to like Xsetup but for some reason had lotsa problems with it.

The plugins would get confused or something and show up as corrupt in chkdsk. Then when I fixed the corrupt files it would have to be reinstalled. It's also quite bloated now and has lots of extra stuff I never used.

Maybe it was just me

I haven't used it for awhile now.

There are lotsa smaller simpler free apps that will do everything I need.

guitarelf,
You're welcome and a BIG thank you:-)

WOW Space Cowboy, I've used X-Setup for years, and it's never given me any grief on any system. Obviously, it's quite possible to shoot yourself in the foot with some of the options, but that's not X-Setup's fault.

LOL .. very funny John.

Actually it wasn't the tweaks that gave me trouble. It was the program files themselves. All thoise wierd plugin file extensions somehow gave my computer fits. It always worked fine till it got bloated.. for me anyway.

Maybe I'll give it another shot. It's been awhile .. maybe a year or so.

Do you have a link for the last freeware version?

I've been playing around with X-Setup 6.6 and it's jam pack with tweaks.. I had to add your photo John to my funny photo album. That's a good one.......

[Space Cowboy]

Maybe it was my old rig. Haven't tried it since I built this new one.

I really Like Driverheaven's TuneXP .. especially the boot files defrager thingys

Space Cowboy, here's a thread back 5 months ago on Driver Heaven Tune XP 1·5 at: http://forums.techguy.org/showthread...38#post2369138

It's a great program.....

On another note: what ever happen to RAM-PAGE..

[Space Cowboy]

Cool Kenny .. thanks for the link. How did that guy get his account disabled?

What about the Tweak that claims the less amount of font's you have installed the faster your computer will run?

Myth ??

Welcome to the Font Frenzy™ Website

FontFrenzy™ tames the frenzy of fonts that can clutter and slow down Windows. The DeFrenzy function removes and stores all fonts except those that were present when Windows was first installed. In short, it cleans up your font folder so that Windows boots quicker and runs smoother.

FontFrenzy™ helps solve the problem of Windows font overload. The special FrenzySnap function enables you to establish "restore points" and re-install the fonts that were in your system on a specific date. FontFrenzy™ is also a great general font manager. It has the ability to preview, print, add and delete fonts. FontFrenzy™ is fully-functional freeware - with the nag screen easily removed after a painless registration.
