Hi Narxis Do you remember to close all running applications before running the Registry Defrag - also the ones you may have running in the background? for example SmartRam or ASC or SmartDefrag! Normally it is not nessesary to run it very often, which is a good thing - because if something happens while the defragging is going on, for example an electricity power break or short-out, you could be left with a computer that is unusable. If you do an enormous amount of installing and uninstalling you can gain a bit extra speed by running it once in a while. Cheers solbjerg

Hi enoskype Perhaps rename it Additional Utilities ? Then if any more comes it will still be an ok title. Cheers solbjerg

Hi dhor You probably did not check the "problems" during the scan and put those you needed into the ignore list before clicking Repair. Go to Restore center and annul all the changes that was made. If successful run a scan again and this time check all "problems" Read "Usage of IObit Procucts" first though. The best course of action with a new dishwasher is always to read the manual! :-) Cheers solbjerg

Very good enoskype!! I was rather hoping you had prepared it for us!! :-) Well - I might have written "feel free - - " a little too often :-) Concerning your note - of course you are right - it was because I view the threads with the latest first. Cheers solbjerg p.s. I see you have started -you are a pearl!

Hi enoskype Perhaps we should make a new post in Usage of IObit Products called Extra Utilities in version 3.20 in order to describe the ones that we do not have room for in the Utilities post - could even move a couple of descriptions to make room for links in it. How does that grab you? By the way I am pleased that the number of visits to Usage of IObit Products is growing noticeably :-) Cheers solbjerg

Hi Tim Thank you! Translation lines for the new add-in "Game Booster" seems to be missing! Cheers solbjerg p.s. reply from Tim that it will be in the next update.

Hi enoskype :-) In the meantime, please place the links there! :-) Cheers solbjerg EDIT: Already done!!!

Hi enoskype Perhaps links is best, I think that too many pages of explanations in the thread could make some skip it?? What do you think? Let's hear what other users think about it, right? Cheers solbjerg

Hi enoskype Yes I thought I had better get that "try" into the message :-) But one would think that if they fix it in SD it should just be a question of copying the same commands into the scheduler in ASC - the function looks exactly alike in the two programs. Cheers solbjerg

Hi enoskype Yes Hugo said they would try to get it into the new version. SD 1.20 This leaves me with the question - will it also be in in ASC 3.20 ? Cheers solbjerg

Hi enoskype Thank you! Have you any information regarding the new version? I mean what is the news in the new version? Cheers solbjerg

Screenshots and Attachments in the Forum Screenshots A picture can say more than many words, therefore there is often a request for providing a screenshot. On your keyboard there is a key called PrintScreen often abbreviated to "Prt Scr". When you press this key it will "take a picture" of what is seen on your screen (desktop), If you hold down the Alt key while pressing the "Prt Scr" a picture of the window on top (activated window) of the screen is copied. This you can save in for example your picture folder or your desktop. The default picture folder is usually located in Documents/Pictures If you need to convert the picture into .jpg you can do this in Paint usually located in Start/Accessories/Paint by opening the picture there and then saving it as a .jpg picture or perhaps a .png picture. (the reason I mention these two extensions (formats) is that they enable you to attach the largest (KB-wise) pictures in the post) For other (large) files it is advisable to send them as zipped files This brings us to Attachments There is also often a request for providing more information in the form of an attachment. When you are creating/answering a post you might want to provide your readers with a screenshot or some other file. This is done by going below the writing window to Additional Options and under "Attachments" click on the button "Manage Attachments", - this brings you to a dialog window where you can "Upload a file from your computer" - you then find the file in question on your computer and Upload it. It will then become an attachment in your post. Please make sure that the file to be attached is not larger in size than shown in the dialog window. :grin: 太阳山 Thank you enoskype! http://forums.iobit.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3809&d=1263031041 http://forums.iobit.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630&d=1234803820 This was written because I noticed that some members didn't know how to do this. RMW (Read Modify Write) http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=2079 P.s. If you want to have the attachment shown as a picture directly in the post, you will have to first open the attachment in your post (after your first save) and then copy the address in the address line. Then you will have to Edit your post and in an appropriate place click on Insert picture - in the box that comes up you then insert the address you copied previously. If you want to remove your Attachment (ZIP or Image etc): • Click Edit at the bottom of your post • Click Go Advanced • Scroll down and click Manage Attachments • Under the heading Current attachments you will see your Attachment • Click Remove (on the right) • When removed click Close this window • Click Save Changes Provided by wozofoz - thank you my friend p.s. If you want to attach a screenshot and this screenshot contains much text the considerate way to do this is to change the interface language to English before taking the screenshot in order for the majority of other members to be able to read it. It is mostly in instances with much text that this would be really helpful. Please also make sure that the screenshot is sharp enough to read and if possible make it able to show magnification. Thank you!! Cheers solbjerg

Fine enoskype! :grin: 太阳山 Thanks!! Cheers solbjerg

Hi enoskype Yes I saw that - Thank you! :grin: 太阳山 Wonder if there will be room for description of those functions. But then I tried to paste one more link there and was told that if I did there would be 10.001 characters and only 10.000 was allowed, so I could not paste it. Perhaps we will have to paste important informative links in the thread you have created. We can perhaps also paste a copy in Usage of IObit products as a new post there? What do you think? Cheers solbjerg

I have now finished the "explanations" in Utilities in Usage of Iobit Products. But informative links in the appropriate place would boost the usability Thank you! Cheers solbjerg

About Translation Translating language files: Currently ASC language file has 7406 (version 3.7) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. No small job! Just to make you aware of what you are taking on! Currently SmartDefrag language file has 928 (version 2.01) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. Much easier, right! :-) Currently Game Booster language file has 405 (version 1.51) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. Even easier, right! :-) Currently IObit Unlocker language file has 212 (version beta 2. ?) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. Even easier, right! Currently IObit Security 360 language file has 2858 (ver.1.50) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. Not quite as easy! :-) Currently IObit Toolbox language file has 11418 (ver. 1.1) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. This is quite a job!! :-) Currently Advanced System Care v.4 has 4409 (v.4.0.1) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. This is a medium sized job!! :smile: (To make it a fully functional translation with the Toolbox additional applications - the Toolbox has to be translated too, I think (11418 words)!! Which makes it a very large job!!) Currently Advanced System Care v.5 has 4695 (v.5. beta 2.1) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. This is a medium sized job!! To make it a fully functional translation with the Toolbox additional applications - the Toolbox has to be translated too, I think (11418 words)!!

This is a medium sized job!! Currently IObit Uninstaller has 501 (18-08-2011) English words that have to be translated into your own language if you want to add your native language to the list.. Quite easy job! Only translate the words to the right of = And then send the translated language file to IObit support@iobit.com , feedback@iobit.com I find using Excel the easiest, I copy the content of the English language file and open Excel: click on A1 and then ctrl+v, then click on F1 and ctrl+v Then I translate the English words after = into my native language in the F column, using the A column as reference. (when finished I save a copy in Unicode format of the translated file in Notepad) After you have translated the file you place it in the language folder in the program (rename the "native language".txt → "native language".lng) and check it by running the program. Some translations might not fit in the available space and you will have to find another word/description - possibly an abbreviation to make it fit the allotted space. (After this you can send it!) If you use notepad for translation, there is a verification tool by Tim Xue in this post. You can downlod it from: www.iobit.com/files/beta/LanChecker.exe Choose the English.lng for the left pane and your Nativelanguage.lng for the right pane and click compare. New language tool is in Language Checking Tool thread. Translated ASC 3 Language files can be found here. You can also post language files in your language there.

RMW (Read Modify Write) :grin: 太阳山 p.s. There have been some problems with some local language characters in the past - I hope this is solved now. If you do run into trouble with some special characters - then try saving the language file in unicode coding and send that to IObit with an explanation. → (Alt+8594 or Unicode Hex+2192) Can often be written by Alt+26 → Cheers solbjerg NOTE: According to the new plan by IObit, all the language translation threads for all IObit products are gone to Multi-language Translations sub-section under General Forums section. 氣enoskype

A couple of more "Utilities" "explained" in "Usage of IObit Products" Just a few more to go now! But informative links are still needed to make it as useful as possible Cheers solbjerg p.s. just added a description of Windows Manager (15-02-2009)

Hi Tropical one When you run a scan using ASC you have to look into the "Problems" it finds and place the items you need in the ignore list by clicking ignore - before clicking repair. Do not use the middle button "Care" before all is configured to your satisfaction and needs. Take a look in the tread "Usage of IObit programs" Cheers solbjerg

Added this link about clones today in the appropriate place in "Usage of IObit Products" http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=2058 especially post 9 Iota! Thank you! :grin: 太阳山 Cheers solbjerg

Hi np Could it be a problem with running it as user? You have to run the program as administrator. Cheers solbjerg

I just added a description of "Disk cleaner" to "Usage of IObit Products" Links and or better description are welcome. :-D 太阳山 (means thank you very much for editing or adding) Cheers solbjerg

Hi usefullll I do not understand, do you mean post #1 If so it is there! Cheers solbjerg

ASC Utilities Utilities ASC provides some extra tools to assist you in repairing, optimizing and cleaning. (The one in (parentheses) may exist in older versions) They are shown under the button Utilities and under three tabs "Tune Up", "Security" and "Admin Tools" Tune Up: Disk Cleaner Here you can select which volume to check It will show you 5 categories, mark one and click on details in order to go through them and decide if there is any that you do not need or that you want to move to another location by right clicking on the file and choose "go to folder" find the file snip it and place it in the location you prefer (for example a folder you call old files). Be prudent! Deleted files will be sent to Backup or to the recycle bin from where you can restore them as long as you do not empty the recycle bin. Driver Update Driver update will present you with available drivers for your applications This is fine as it gives you the location where you can download it from But be careful and check first. Some of the drivers may also be so new that they haven't been validated by Micosoft yet, which means that they often won't be installed - find and update that which has been validated even if it isn't the brand new one, at least that is my recommandation. FireFoxTCP Optimizer For examples of TCP Optimization please read this thread and this thread Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Some settings in this application isn't easy for non-technical users to understand, but follow the excellent advice of enoskype in the links he provides. 太阳山 SmartDefrag This applications sends you to the program SmartDefrag, - if you have it installed. Read about SmartDefrag in another post in this thread! IObit Registry Defrag This application will defrag your registry database. Adequately explained in the window. Close all running applications prior to running this function - also your anti-virus application. (The screen will darken while this is going on - wait - have patience and do not mess with the process) Shortcut Fixer This application will find obsolete shortcuts from for example uninstalled files and programs, or from moved programs. In short - shortcuts from any file or program that hasn't a "parent" anymore (Instead of deleting them you might repair the shortcuts one by one) SmartRAM Adequately explained in the window. Click Settings to choose how you want to run the application. Remember that if you have chosen to let it run automatically, it will be in your systemtray and can interfere with uninstallation if it isn't exited It will continually show you the current memory status unless you have chosen not to have it in your systemtray. (You may have to make it's properties "Always shown") (this is done by right clicking on the Start button and choosing properties and the tab Taskbar and then Customized) Submit New It sends you to this site: http://www.iobit.com/newtools.html Where you can read what it is about Mainly working together with other companies that have something to offer for free. (Software Informer) You can find details in: http://software.informer.com/ . Security: Driver BackUp This utility backs up the drivers you choose Just put a checkmark to all or the ones you choose IE Security Assistant Here you can remove items in "IE Extentions", "IE add-in" (In some of the sub-menues you can also view the Properties) Under the Option "IE Settings" (this shows possible hi-jacked settings) you can restore the settings to Default by clicking that button. Admin Tools: Auto ShutDown Here you can choose to either Auto ShutDown your computer or to Restart your computer at a scheduled time. Just choose one of the options and configure the schedule. (If you want/need to use this function) Context Menu Manager This utility allows you to delete item(s) in your right click menu. There are 3 tabs - in "Shell extention" tab you can even be sent to The Registry Database and edit the key (this should only be done by those that know what they are doing) Under the tab "New" it shows you the menu under the command New in your right click menu - and the option to remove a command you do not think you need. Under the tab "Send To" you have the option of removing a right click command option from the list. (Would have been nice if there also were an opportunity to be sent to the folder where you could add a right click command to your option in the right click menu) %userprofile%\sendtoIt sends you to the folder SendTo where you click on Files/New and then navigate to the file you want to add a shortcut for in your right click. Disk Explorer This application allows you to view and sort through the files on your computer. They are sorted as follows File types Video files Music files Image files Document files Rubbish files Other files (miscellaneous) You can view them by clicking the appropriate button (And take the action you find prudent according to your wishes) Top 100 Which shows you the largest 100 files on your computer Basicly it can be used to determine which uninstallation would give you back the most free space. But do not - I say NOT - delete files out of hand. Several of them are needed for the Operating System to work. Clone files This application finds files that have the same name and size on your computer (duplicates) and you can then decide if you need them or not. But be very, very careful! http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=2058 especially post 9 http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=2287 http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=11624 Cloned Files Finder (now to be found in Additional Utilities) Restore center The restore center shows you the latest 20 restore point for ASC Care operation - if you go by default settings - in the right hand of the window, and you can choose to go back to the latest restore date if something untoward has happened. In the left side it gives you the opportunity to Create a restore point - which will then be shown in the Windows System Restore facility. View System Restore - which will send you to the dialog page in Windows System Restore facility Settings - which will send you to the setting for ASC Software UnInstaller This application sends you to Software UnInstaller in Windows manager The same as you will get if you go through Control Panel/Add-Remove programs. This uninstaller often leaves "leftovers" behind (i.e. the program folder) A free application that can be used to uninstall and clean up could be "Revo UnInstaller". StartUp Manager Many times when you install new programs, they are set up to run silently in the background from the system tray. Some of these need to run (ex: anti virus, firewall, ect.) but many do not and can be started when needed from desktop icon. If you have too many programs running all the time it can slow down computer. In startup manager, you can uncheck the boxes of the ones you do not want to run at startup (Do not delete the entries unless they are old ones you no longer have.). If you uncheck one and discover that you really do need it to run, you can go back and re-check the entry to allow at startup. If you are not sure, you can select an entry, then click “online search” to go to sysinfo.org for clues about that entry. (samr) System Information This application gives you the fundamental basic information about you computer. This can be exported to a .txt file or to a .html file which you can attach to a message for investigation purposes - should the need arise. Click on "File" in menu line and choose either .txt or .html Windows Manager In Windows Manager you have the possibility to view "Process Manager", "System Service", "TCP/UDP" (Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol), "Software UnInstaller" and "Cookie Manager" -(WM)Process Manager Here you can either refresh or terminate a process (You get more options by using the Job list (Taskmanager) or Ctrl+Alt+Delete) Taskmanager (taskmgr in Run) -(WM)System Service Here you get an easy overview of what services you have running. You can right click on the items choose Properties and in the window then choose either Automatic, Manual or Deactivated You can also refresh each setting (Several recommandations exists - you could choose to go with the recommended Microsoft OS (Operating System) settings, - all can be found on the internet) -(WM)TCP/UDP (Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol) Here you can view which protocol is running, its address and its status -(WM)Software UnInstaller Easy overview of programs you have on your computer that can be uninstalled (shows you the program version too) basicly the same as Add/Remove Programs in Control panel. -(WM)Cookies manager Here you can view your cookies and delete/exclude/refresh some or all of them by putting/removing a checkmark in the box %userprofile%\cookies in Run to view the cookie folder Please add relevant informative links to the descriptions RMW (Read Modify Write) Cheers solbjerg

hello susan No sarcasm intended, - it was brought on by your very large font in bold script, so I thought that you might have trouble reading small script. And if you had trouble I would have written in a larger font size to help you. I do not understand why the problems you describe comes up on your machine and some few others. As I told you before - I do not experience that when I try to run the cleaning operation twice or even three times. (which I tried in order to try to achieve your result) Have you read through the post called "Usage of IObit products" in the Lounge section? Cheers solbjerg

Thanks vman Excellent head up!! Cheers solbjerg
