X-Setup Pro

[wozofoz]

Has anyone tried X-Setup Pro @ http://www.x-setup.net/

Any opinions, reviews, warnings etc would be much appreciated :smile:

 

Note: No mention of Win 7

From MajorGeeks:

Requires: Win9x/NT/200x/XP/Vista

X-Setup Pro is not yet another Windows Hacker; it is the ultimate tool for black belt system tuning and tweaking, running on Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, ME, XP and 2003 Server.

 

They have shut down so it is now free and the serial number is supplied but there will be no support

 

For X-Setup Pro software information and download go to MajorGeeks

X-Setup Pro Serial Number: XSA092-11TA9R-8K12YT

 

All the best, woz of oz

majorgeeks often miss out windows 7 in the list of O/S's when a makers site site shows it as ok.

I have been using X-Setup for a very long time and the last free version 6.5 Final 1 was still in my XP Pro untill I have installed this version couple of days ago.

 

One of the most detailed system and registry tweakers ever made. Worked fine with Vista, but I didn't try it on Win7 yet.

 

It makes me sad that the company is now dissolved. What a pity. :-(

 

I would advise it to the enthusiastic users to know the Windows OS inside better.

 

Just becareful not to over do it!!!:???:

 

Cheers.

Hi there, enoskype,

 

I downloaded and installed it, but get the 404 Not Found Error when trying to access the forum. Have they closed that down too?

 

Also, after having a browse through it I have found a swag of HHCTRL ID 1904 errors in Event Viewer. From what I've read they appear to be caused by an early MS update. What do you do about those entries if you're getting them, just ignore them?

Hi, scrd01

 

event viewer no problems

 

Would you kindly browse their Help file and check your Event Viewer again?

 

Thanks,

 

Ted.

event viewer

 

only had to reset my msdtc

after reboot

Hi again, scrd01

 

Thanks for that.

 

Do you clear your Event Viewer logs regularly and do you archive them at all?

My log file has six years of entries in it.

[scrd01]

event logs

 

view and clear mine daily

[Ted]

Hi, scrd01,

 

view and clear mine daily

Okay, thanks for that.

[scrd01]

what do u keep

 

i wish i could just get them to only report warnings and errors

6 years worth of data must be using up a lot of space???

[Ted]

Hi, scrd01

 

6 years worth of data must be using up a lot of space???

You're right, I think I'll adopt your practice.

Just wondering if Event Viewer's filter could be set up to exclude the swag of HHCTRL information entries every time I use the X-Setup Pro's Help file.

[scrd01]

xpro help files

 

went in and viewed help files checked event viewer didnt get any HHCTRL entries know how to temporarily filter the logs ie ignore information entries

its keeping that setting permanant that gets me
