so what do smarter people than I think of this? Is it worth a try?

[Harry Canyon]

I suggest not D/L'n this software...yet. Check out thier forums section. Seems that many of the 'fixes' for gameplay most of us have already done using information from sites like 'tweaktown.com' and such. Also, when you revert back to 'normal' mode, it seems that it does not go back to your previous settings, but to a 'default' windows setting.

Close, but no cigar.....

thanks Harry...that's what I figured, as it seemed too good to be true...now if I can only find those tweaks you speak of...

[Harry Canyon]

Well...

Here's one spot... http://www.tweaktown.com/articles.php?dCategory=guides&sortMeth=&sortYear=all


Some guides and such on various subjects, just look down the page. There are other sites that people use, just can't remember right now......

Just did a search on google. This comes from the winxpcentral.com forums.

**WARNING** - I just heard from Dave and he sent us this warning about using Game XP Utility: "You may want to add a warning to your site or remove the link for Game XP Utility. It seems that it may be causing games that run Punk Buster to register this program as a speed hack. I haven't heard any word back from Even Balance, but several people have been banned already do to this program. Just a heads up."

After serious testing of both GameXP and SafeXP, I can say, do not use this software if you want a stable machine.
There are many things both of these programs do that are really 'unsafe' for your operating system.
The changes by GameXP also do not have much of an effect on speeding your games up either, often causing them to crash.
You have been warned.

After running it, applications could no longer find DirectX. I made a test app and it couldn't load DX anymore either.

Even after running the return to default and reinstalled DX9.0b, still no DirectX devices could be created. I've since reinstalled.
