So recently my sisters got a notebook as a christmas gift and we decided it was better if we had WIFI in our house so that they could connect to the internet using the notebook. Anyway my ISP installed a zyxel router and ever since then i have been having some problems. sometimes i can't surf at all because i get redirected to 192.168.1.1/zCfgTryAgain.html and i see the following message :

"object not found

The requested URL '/zCfgTryAgain.html' was not found on the RomPager Advanced server."

Turning the router on and off seems to fix it tough but it's very annoying. Another thing is that i am worried that someone might leech off my bandwidth even tough it's password protected and i have been thinking how to prevent that, any software i can use to detect thiefs?. Also I know that the 192.168.1.1 address is for router configuration but it's password protected so i can't access it, do i even need to access the router configuration?.

Anyway help would be apreciated since you guys seem pretty knowledable.

I don't really want to make them admins.  They download music and play lots of online games.

I guess I could try it and see what happens.  I sure don't like this type of software that won't let all users run it properly.

Try what i told you and see what happens.

Try to make their user accounts administrators. Then login into their accounts and launch the games and see if you can save. My sister account has problems in using software that i installed as an administrator unless i make her account an administrator too.

Living Room / Re: Question about my video card temperature
« Last post by gexecuter on December 27, 2008, 05:10 PM »
So i though i'll give you guys a little update on what happened. finally i decided to simply reformat and install Windows again, not a subtle solution but hey it works most of the time. Instead of installing the newest drivers available for my video card i choosed to go with the ones that came on the CD.A quick run of GPU-Z confirmed that i made the right choice since the memory clocks were as they should. I think what happened is that the 170.24 forceware drivers overclocked my card without me knowing and caused the slowdowns (seriously WTF?) so i won't be installing that driver version anymore. It won't be a big loss since i didn't perceive any framerate improvement using the newest drivers so i am gonna go old school. I consider this matter closed so thanks everyone for the help.

Doesn't the driver software for nVidia cards contain a software-based overclocker? (belong to the ATI cult myself)

This Google search will reveal more  :)



I actually installed Ntune. It looked just like the nvidia control panel that i already had, i couldn't find the overclocking options so i went back to Rivatuner. Using RivaTuner i was finally able to drop the memory clock to 270 MHZ. Unfortunately RivaTuner couldn't make the changes permanent which is what i wanted, it had to install a little startup entry in order to set the memory clock every time Windows booted. It sucks but it's the best i can do for now.
I will probably have to mess with the video card bios so i don't have to use Rivatuner anymore, i will probably do it later tough.

So today i remembered that one of the first things i did when i got the card was to run it trough GPU-Z. GPU-Z allows you to send your results into an online database so i though i'll check my old results VS the one i get now.

Old GPU-Z result

New GPU-Z result

Notice something different? let me give you a hint: The damn memory clock is overclocked by 100% no wonder i had slowdowns since my little card can't take such speeds, i got lucky that my card didn't fried or something. I have no idea how the overclock happened since i don't even know how to overclock so how do i set the memory clock back to how it was before? Any software i can use? this sucks :/

Edit: I downloaded and installed RivaTuner and used this guide in order to drop the memory clock by 5 MHZ using the driver mode. I was going to drop it to 266 MHZ at once but i didn't know if that was prudent so should i drop the memory clock in 5MHZ each time or should i drop it all at once? never done this kinda of thing before.

Hey isn't that my blog? well it's comforting that at least someone finds useful what i post.

You do Elite Freeware? Wow! My hat is off to you. It's an excellent blog. You're one of the few feeds that I actively follow and recommend to other people. I've got you in the same folder as DoCo, gHacks, Download Squad, Linux.com, and DistroWatch. Not too shabby company you're keeping, hey?

Excellent work! :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:



Thanks!  ;D that is some nice company indeed, but i am not familiar with Doco. Is that abreviation of Donation coder? anyway i am glad that people enjoy my work.

some motherboards are configured to slow down the processor if they get too hot.

Yeah i just checked the bios, i saw nothing like that in there. I defragmented the hard drive where my games are installed and i saw a slight drop in the slowdowns i get. I will probably format the C: disk and install Windows XP again. If the slowdowns persist then that means it's a hardware problems and i will be screwed. Hopefully it's just a Windows problem.

I actually saw that thread before making this thread, i just wanted to get a second opinion. I guess that means the slowdown is coming from somewhere else...maybe i need to defrag my hard drive and do other maintenance tasks. Anyway thanks for the help.

Living Room / Question about my video card temperature
« Last post by gexecuter on December 22, 2008, 08:17 PM »
so i bought an ECS geforce 6200 video card some months ago (thanks google) and everything was going fine except for the last few days when i noticed something strange. I was playing some old game and i noticed some slow down which is odd because it had never happened before and i am pretty picky with that sort of thing. Since i sensed something wrong i checked the GPU temperature with GPU-Z and it was over 69 CÂș! it was the highest that i had ever seen. The card doesn't have a fan only a disperser or whatever that thing is called, here in chile is summer so that probably adds a couple of degrees to the overall hotness. I have read conflicting reports on the internet about the maximum temperature this card should get so i am asking at what temp should i be worried? Any thoughts?

Why do you buy stuff that you don't use? that's just dumb.

*looks at the GTA trilogy pack for PS2 that he bought without having a PS2*

Good Old Games is an online store that deals exclusively with old games. These old games are patched in order to run in modern operating systems like XP and vista, oh and did i mentioned they have no DRM? Anyway Voodoo Extreme has 15 codes that are reedemeable for one gog.com game. All you have to do is to register in http://ve3d.ign.com and send an email to [email protected] with the subject "GOG Game Giveaway" (without the quotes). The email must contain your Voodoo Extreme username and general salutations which of course means general reasons for getting a code. I wrote that i was 10 year old with cancer and a wooden leg, hopefully that works.
The contest ends in Friday, November 28th, 23.59 PST.

Btw apparently the giveaway week has ended. I found out the heard way just now, oh well until next time. Only 9000 people took advantage of the deal which is kinda low right? maybe this program is just too niche for most people.
