When you begin to look for ways to speed up your computer and optimize it’s performance, you will come across the option of using a registry cleaner, and with these programs comes many options as well. Perhaps you are searching for freeware or maybe you are OK with spending a few bucks to get a quality product, but first you just need to know how to choose the top registry cleaner software for your needs.

That is what we are going to discuss in this article, we are going to go over the features that you should be looking for when choosing a registry cleaning application.

First, a top registry cleaner software will have the ability to remove invalid entries. Some applications will only clean out the ‘empty’ registry entries. This is a problem because the majority of registry errors, pop-up messages, and overall computer instability is actually caused by invalid entries.

A registry entry basically contains the location of some important files that are on your computer. These files are used by certain applications in order to function. If your registry cleaner only removes the empty files but leaves all of the invalid files, then over time this will cause a problem and your cleanings will no longer have a positive effect on your PC’s performance.

Second, you want to make sure that the registry cleaning tool that you choose to use has a backup feature. Nothing in life is perfect 100% of the time, and that includes registry cleaners as well. Even with the best registry cleaner software money can buy, there is no guarantee that you will not experience some form of a problem. It is not the fault of the cleaner usually and is actually caused by a poorly-written program that may have been downloaded on your PC in the past.

In the odd chance that your cleaning process encounters an error, you will need a way to restore your registry to it’s prior state and having the backup feature allows for that. Cleaning your registry can be a very finicky process, even the pros create backups first so you should too.

Although this is just a quick run down of a couple of things to look for when choosing a top registry cleaner software, there are more features that can improve the security of a registry tool as well.

As you continue on your search for a good registry cleaning tool to use, make sure that you keep these two things that I just shared with you in mind. If you don’t, you may be setting yourself up for more problems down the road. A good program should help your PC, not make it worst.

One of the top registry cleaner product that you need is called 1-click-Fix. The best thing about this software is you can try it at the first time without paying and get your pc fixed.

Many suspect that it something to do, they love means that they already pay very little. Is that true? Check this out!

As a professional video game tester is obviously a big one. You will get the latest video games and doing paid. Is not that enough? Honestly, what we can ask a player? However, the big question: How much does a paid video game tester? After all, if the pay is not good, why would anyone continue in this direction?

The video game tester average salary ranges from 15 up to $ 20,000 per year all the way to 80-100 + miles per year. How much does a game tester is directly on the number of jobs it receives, and which, in conjunction with the rental developers. However, as most game testers breaking work in a factory work and not allowed as an annual wage agreement in an hour and a weekly figure.

Game testers are normally paid $ 8.20 per hour, depending on your experience. For this example, take the middle ground and go to $ 15 per hour for a mid-level testers. Game testers tend to put many hours per week (40-50 +), which is usually inflexible deadlines caused by the developers. That being said, say that the tester works in the general minimum requirements (40 hours) and paid the $ 15 per hour of work above tests. 40 hours x $ 15 is a weekly salary of $ 600, assuming that the testers went to work as many hours per week. Sounds like a good salary, right? You bet he does, and most players want to cash a check like that every week.

A career as a look professional video game tester for your interest? Now it should be. Test set is a great job and that means the same thing. The few drawbacks that come with video game testing is not even that close to a questionable decision, and just because this race really fun!

The test of the new video game can be difficult to win more than $ 10,000 per year, some do not, too. Most, but soon reach the $ 20,000 goal, however, and we knew then and what is likely to increase revenues. Some testers game with more experience make about $ 50,000 a year is a good life by most peoples standards.

2.While viewing video cutscenes in between levels, it either goes silent or repeats the same phrase at some point for a short time

* If using Realtek High Definition Audio, Soundmax HD Audio, or nForce Audio,
you may experience sound anomalies.

To work around the problem, reduce the Hardware acceleration slider to ‘Basic’
in the Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices->Audio tab->Advanced->Performance
tab.

3.I click to play and I get this message GAME.LOST CONNECTION.RESUME

Maybe you got a piracy edition, this whole game is protected, soyou can only access the main menu. If this is reallya problem, let’s wait for ubisoft hotfix

Missing menu options and in game textures

If you are running into the issues with missing menu text, menu items or in game textures, try disabling Catalyst AI in Catalyst control panel. You need to do this in all applicable places (i.e. under the AI tab as well as All tab in CCC).

My screen resolution is not supported. What’s up?

This is not a technical fix but more like a UI issue. If you try to change the video resolution in Splinter Cell : Conviction, sometimes you may find the resolution that matches your display is missing from the list (for example some widescreen res). You might not notice it but you can actually scroll down the list of resolutions.

Cannot display video mode error – game starts up in a resolution unsupported by the monitor

If you get this error, you might have to manually edit the game configuration file and set a resolution compatible with your monitor. There is a detailed forum thread on UBISoft forums on how to do this – you may access it from here.

scc.exe stopped working error when trying to launch the game

Sometimes, the game might hang at launch when it tries to auto detect system components. If this happens, you can bypass the auto detection process, launch the game and manually adjust optimal settings yourself. Navigate to your game’s installation directory and rename the file systemdetection.dll to something else. Now launch the game – it will throw an error message but the game should launch instead of hanging.

some updated will be added later

Plot Splinter Cell: Conviction takes place two years after the events that happened in Splinter Cell: Double Agent. In this latest series, is told that Sam Fisher has defected from Third Echelon after finding that the death of his daughter, Sarah, is not an accident. Sam Fisher is now being pursued by the Third Echelon which was considered treason. Sam must use all the help he could find, including a former member Third Echelon, Anna Grimsdottir, and good friend Sam, Victor cost, in an effort to discover the real truth behind the death of his daughter.

Splinter Cell: Conviction brings a wide range of new features that have not been found in previous series. One of the newest features is: “Mark and Execute”. With this feature, gamers can give the “sign” of a target, either a person or object. After indicating the specific target of this, gamers can neutralize the target with an attack quickly and suddenly. Features “Mark and Execute” it is useful to kill the target quickly and efficiently. Gamers can also specify the priority of the desired target, for example Sam Fisher can distract an enemy by shooting a light room, and then move quickly to kill the other enemies.

Another new feature is quite interesting ability to interrogate captured enemies by Sam in real-time. Sam can use various objects around the environment to interrogate the enemy.

One of the main attractions of this game dalah ability co-op mode is presented. Co-op mode in Splinter Cell: Conviction has been made differently than the previous series. If the previous co-op mode means only play the main gameplay features co-op, then in this game, co-op mode presents a scenario of a stand-alone prequel campaign that became the core of the main story in Splinter Cell: Conviction. In this co-op mode, gamers play as an Archer and Kestrel agent assigned to investigate illegal sales of nuclear weapons. Events that occur in this gameplay will be the opening act for the core story line the main story in the single player campaign.

Number of new features and co-op mode which has been updated, make Splinter Cell: Conviction to be one of the most anticipated game many gamers to the year 2010 today.

1. More precision

2.fit with your hand.

3.Macro (you can move the letter or number function in your keyboard into mouse, so you can click letter directly.)

4.Quick response compared to standar infrared mouse

Bu be careful:

1.if you get beaten on the game, don’t blame your mouse with some inappropiate manner (slam the mouse or throw away the mouse, it is expensive hehe)

2.You must have a high quality mouse pad.

more exlanation:

-Many people using razor said that it quite comfortable. You can set its sensitivity into default, so when you movin your maouseinto another computer you don’t need to se the sensitivity over and over again.

How about MX 518?

- 2 memory console ( 5 adjustable button on mouse )
- adjustable DPI up to 1800 dpi (one time configuration)

G5 is the cheap version.

So who’s the winner?

If you take a look at the price Logitech MX is cheaper, and the quality is good also. But if you analyze both razer and logitech launch their product based on their research on the competitor, so i quarantee you will be satisfied whichever productcome to your choice in the end.
My advice is, all mouse are the same. It’s up to you, which mouse you think would fit you best. which one is more accustomed for you?

one of my friend he’s usually using bad mouse, the mouse pad already stink. and when  give him copperhead mouse, he said “it’s not comfortable, i’m losing too muchusing this mouse”

Here’s some type and the price for razer:

Q: Get another problem?
A: it’s a bug, let’s just wait till rockstar release the hotfix

We are working on making a patch available in the next few days. Since Grand Theft Auto IV is a Games For Windows – Live game the patch must be certified by Microsoft before release. The patch is already at Microsoft and we expect a speedy approval. The patch contains a variety of fixes including:
• A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
• Numerous improvements to the video editor: Smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better fx during replays
• Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice
• Fix for ATI 1900 shadows
• Overall savings to memory
• Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors
• Multiplayer character settings are preserved
• Support for DirectInput controllers. Note: The current hack way of supporting these controllers may not work with the improved functionality. So we recommend you remove the hack before upgrading to the patch.

Issues with power management software have also been fixed (slow speed, double speed issues). Even after the patch comes out setting power management software to maximum performance is recommended. We’ve seen cases where power management software does not detect the game is running and puts the CPU in green mode.

Besides the patch we’ve also improved the way the Social Club handles data this should have greatly reduced or eliminated the Mma10 error. If you are still receiving this error after logging in and out of Social Club we would like to know as much info as you can about it.

Q: Is there any way to improve GTA 4 gaming performance?
A: ATI dan Nvidia already release it, for GTA IV

Q: i can’t use My joystick
A: Use XBOX360 Emulation *UPDATED

This extremely simple guide will teach you how to emulate an xbox360 controller, because IV supports only that. Now, you can use any controller you wish (unsure about wheel and pedals).

1) Download the following archive. http://lcsteam.net/dump/gta4/xbox360emu 1.1.zip
2) Unpack the xinput9_1_0.dll and the xbox360cemu.ini from the archive into your gta4 dir.
3) Edit the .ini according to your personal controller, or however you may please. The .ini is initially set up to work 100% correctly with Logitech RumblePad 2.

Note: in order to understand how to edit key mappings, read the included readme.txt.

“Here is a solution to the axis being backwards on the right analog stick, I had the same problem in another game and found this solution and it worked fine. I didn’t have to rename my controller just the axis was flipped so I only did part 2 but I’ll post the whole thing for everyone.

Part one
In Windows, click start ->run then type regedit.exe and click ok

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, open SYSTEM, open ControlSet001, then Control, media properties, private properties, joystick, OEM.

view each folder (should look like VID_0428&PID etc) until you find the controller you have. (should be USB GAME PAD) if its PS2
mine was “Twin USB Vibration Gamepad”
When you see you controller, double click where it says OEMName to the left of where its says the name of your controller, change it to “Logitech Rumblepad 2 USB”.

The above will make the stick work…Below explains how to flip the axis

Part 2
Whilst still in the registry editor, expand the Axes folder and find folders 2 and 5, they represent axis Z and Rz respectively.
In folder 2 (the Z axis), find “Attributes 01 81 00 00 01 00 32 00″ and change it to “Attributes 01 81 00 00 01 00 35 00″
And then in folder 5 (the Rz axis) find “Attributes 01 81 00 00 01 00 35 00″ and change to “Attributes 01 81 00 00 01 00 32 00″
effectively you just swap existing numbers.
Then bingo!
Check the controllers in your control panel, then check them in game.
Might be worth mentioning this will probably effect how the controller behaves in other games, it doesn’t cause me any so far.”

Q: My GTA 4 is run very slow, how to optimize it?
A: follow rockstar advice…GTA IV is a game for future

Here is an interesting README i found on R* website, looks like performance problems might be “intentional”

THE GRAPHIC SETTINGS OF GRAND THEFT AUTO IV PC

Most users using current PC hardware as of December 2008 are advised to use medium graphics settings. Higher settings are provided for future generations of PCs with higher specifications than are currently widely available.

Graphics settings are limited by system resources by default. 256MB video cards force minimum settings by default. If a user bypasses these safety measures using command line arguments and exceeds their system resources, the users gaming experience may be compromised.

Video Mode
Resolution scaling effects water, reflections, shadows, mirrors and the visible viewable distance. The resolution settings relate to the amount of available video memory. At 2560*1600 the game will require 320MB of video memory in addition to all the memory required for content. At 800*600 the game will require 32MB of video memory in addition to the content. Medium resolution settings are recommended for most users as higher settings are only usable if there is available video memory.

Texture Quality
Texture quality affects the visual quality of the content of the game. High setting for textures will require 600MB of video memory at a setting of 21 View Distance in addition to the memory taken by the Video Mode. A medium texture setting is recommended for most users.

Render Quality
Render quality is the texture filter quality used on most things in the world rendering. Most people would know this as anisotropic filtering. Medium settings are recommended for most users and will provide filtering beyond what the console versions can execute.

View Distance
View distance scales the distance in which different objects in the world such as building and cars are seen. Raising this option increases the distance in which high quality objects must be loaded and will increase the memory it requires. Restrictions are established to ensure the game runs optimally for most users. A setting of 22 or more will provide PC users an enhanced experience over the console versions.

Detail Distance
Detail distance scales aspects of the environment that the View Distance setting does not including vegetation, trash and other moveable objects. A setting of 10 would be the equivalent to the performance on a console. This setting has little effect on memory.

Vehicle Density
Vehicle density scales the traffic density of the traffic in the game. It has no effect on the mission vehicles or difficultly of the game, but can have a significant impact on CPU performance

Shadow Density
Shadow Density controls the number of shadows generated for positional lights in exterior environments. These shadows are exclusive to the PC version and can have a major impact on CPU and GPU performance.

Crossfire/SLI
With the latest ATI driver (8-11 series) the game supports crossfire modes (ie. 4870×2)
SLI is currently unsupported. Support will be added through a future game patch as well as an updated Nvidia driver.

NOTE: Background Processes
Certain background processes can have a detrimental effect on system performance when playing GTA IV, especially on systems with minimum required system memory. Users should ensure they disable their Virus scans when running the game to maximize performance.

One game that will attract the attention of gamers is the story of Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell’s latest, Conviction. At the time this game is shown at E3 press conference yesterday, Sam’s looks older than ever before. There, he was seen was thinking about her daughter who had died.

It’s obvious that Ubisoft wanted to bring this game into a different direction than the game that completely relies on stealth games that are more likely to become a full assault. Still do not believe me? Take a look in his trailer, where Sam Fisher is now an attack much more quickly and brutally.

If not hindered, this game should already be released in early 2010 (around February) Let’s wait to find out the presence of the continuation game is Sam Fisher …

A PDF brochure accompanied the video release. setting is a feature many improvements over its predecessor include:

I think this game deserve a review because this game really good:

From the results of the conference that was held by several game developers in the year 2010 was, without stopping flow to compliment the launch of the beta test the latest Paradox games, ie, Mount & Blade: Warband developed by Talewords. Mount and Blade: Warband will bring new features, such as multiplayer modes that can accommodate up to 32 players to battle in team death-match style in a folder together. Additional features include improved AI strategic, diplomatic options are expanded, and advanced rendering technologies.

As in previous series, in this game gamers play as a young fighter with the ambition to seek glory, power, and power, although single-player adventure game is going to give a kind of new things to add strength, namely by getting married, and became a family wealthy. Adventures will give gamers the opportunity to try to grab a pair with some poetry and also with the achievement of a war gamer who of course is very reliable to win her heart, but, in this game, gamers are not just spending time alone.

Games were RPG genre is famous for combining action and adventure elements in its gameplay. This time the developer does not just fix the shortage of experienced graphic like its predecessor series, but also provide some additions and changes in the gameplay in order to provide a more exciting gaming experience.

Currently, Warband only multiplayer beta released in the form of using a particular server in which there are hundreds of gamers who get into that server per day. In that server, they can try 6 multiplayer mode in which is included free-for-all deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Siege, which is a team mode, which requires gamers to fight each other and capture a castle, and endure the onslaught opponent.

All multiplayer modes will be supported by a maximum of 64 gamers, and quite surprisingly, the game is able to do running against these 64 gamers at a time. In this game, gamers can choose from 6 different nationalities to be selected as a faction, and in each of these factions, there are several classes of characters.

This time in Mount & Blade: Warband gamers can not only create his own kingdom but also can make other kings to its knees and become subordinate. In addition there are features of ‘marriage’ where gamers can establish marriage as a form of political alliance reflects the form of political policy in this period. Now gamers do not need them often visit the castle or town that has been taken to oversee its development since this time has diperistri queen who can take over this role well.

In multiplayer mode, life seems so cheap, death by army attack rain following skull bow and arrow. In some scenes, it appears senior army put up a ladder to climb the castle forcible opponent. All seemed to work hard, starting from the army to the commander, all seemed to busy to play swords.

Accuracy and carefulness gamers in organizing strategies are needed, particularly to make decisions when to attack and when to persist.

Also in this game, gamers have to rack my brain to use different tactics and strategies in each attack. That’s because the enemy will gamers gamers reading strategies that have been run. If so, then the enemy will be able to easily conquer factions which gamers play. For that reason, gamers require optimal survival techniques.

The optimal defense techniques such as making rules to open the gate was not too long and 1-2 allow an attacker to deliver a counterattack.

At its core, this game does have a fairly high level of difficulty, especially in a war that set the optimal strategy for dealing with enemies that are not less intelligent too.

For quite a long time, using a joystick in Windows to play games was a real pain. a generic one is not comfortable. You can only play limited game with it and, each game you must set up your configuration.
With the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, Microsoft are trying to push it as a standard, and many games support it out of the box, the same way as you would expect as playing them on a Xbox 360 – just run the game, choose the controller as default and you are ready to go.
Check out this game:
- Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Prototype
- Prince of Persia
- Need for Speed: Undercover
- Fallout 3
- Far Cry 2
- FIFA Soccer 09
- Crysis
- Crysis Warhead
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Assassin’s Creed
- Half-Life 2

This joystick may not replace the whole console experience, but for a casual gamer as myself, who does not have or want a console, it’s perfect.
This wireless one works very well, batteries last long enough, feels great in your hands. Surely, don’t expect to match a keyboard and mouse precision for first person shooter games, but if you play for fun and relaxation, it does not matter how good you are. Standing on a desk, stooping over the mouse and keyboard is no match for sitting laid back on the sofa with the wireless joystick and really relaxing.
