What is PC Booster?

tweaks you can adjust to customize Windows yourself.

What benefits will I get from PC Booster?
The
benefits differ for each computer. This is because each computer is setup
differently both in hardware and software installations. But due to the many
available tweaks that can be applied to most computers, some improvements will
be gained whether in data seeking, memory management, CD accessing speed and/or
other visual enhancements.
I am worried that PC Booster will stuff up my Windows
settings.
PC Booster has a safe fall-back feature. It does a backup
of your current system configurations before allowing you to change anything. So
if you are not happy with the tune up results or tweaks that you have altered
yourself, you can always select the restore function and everything will be back
to normal.
I am experiencing problems shutting down my
computer.
This is due to the fast shut down option under the 'shut
down' section in the manual tweaks.
The cause is due to some computer
hardware compatibility that is not able to handle the fast shutdown and will
treat it as if it is restarting.
To remedy, click on the manual tweak icon,
go to the shutdown section. Uncheck the item fast shutdown.
NOTE: This is not a bug with PC Booster but is part of a
feature for Windows. Windows disable fast shutdown on default installations but
we allow it for selection to get reduced shutdown time.
I have changed some values for MTU, memory cache size,
stack size, etc, but they always show as zero?
Some settings don't
show up after being entered such as cd speed, MTU, TTL settings, etc. this is
design by default but rest assured that when you press optimize the changes are
applied to the registry.
I think I have downloaded PC Booster, but I can't find it.
Where is it?
After you have downloaded the program, locate the folder
where you saved the file. Once located, double click on the file to begin
installation.
If you could not remember or can not locate the folder where you saved the
installation file:
- Click on the Start Button.
- Select Search and enter in pcb50.exe.
- The search wizard will return the result of the search.
-
Double
click on the search results and you will then be able to locate the folder and
begin installation of PC Booster.
I've
run AutoTune and also tried Manual Tweaks. However
I do not feel comfortable or wish to go back to my previous settings. What
should I do?
We recommend that you restore to the previous backup
settings. This can be done via:
- Double click on the PC Booster icon to bring up the main program.
- Click on File.
- Choose Restore Backup Your previous settings would be restored now.
I have run PC Booster successfully
once; now it does not run again / When I double click on the PC Booster desktop
or Start menu icon, the program does not start / PC Booster does not seem to be
running. What should I do?
Please follow the following
steps to get PC Booster running correctly again on your machine:
- If you are using Windows XP/2000?Visat log on to your system with an Administrator
account
- After you have logged on, press Ctrl + Alt + Del
- Select Task Manager. Click on Processes
- Verify that PC Booster.exe is indeed running amongst the list of programs
there
- Click on PC Booster.exe and select End Process
- Double click on the desktop icon again. PC Booster should run fine now
After you have double clicked on the PC Booster desktop or Start menu icon,
access and use PC Booster by right clicking on the system tray icon. Select Show
Main Program.
The text is being cut off from the screen / The
font is too big. What should I do?
The oversized text is because you
have set some of the Windows font size to a bigger size, currently PC Booster is
not able to enlarge so the text will cover some of the buttons or get chopped
off.
One solution is to reduce the Windows Font size which should make
the text fit into the window properly.
The exact way to solve this step
would be:
- Click on Start.
- Select Settings.
- Click Control Panel.
- Double click on Display.
- Click on the Settings tab.
- Click on the Advanced button.
- A new pop up dialog will be displayed. You should see the option for
General.
- Under Display you can select Font Size. Select "Small Fonts" (96 DPI). Click
"OK". You can now read all the text in PC Booster.
