Hardware/Windows 95/OSR2 Tips and Tricks...
Learn how to speed up/optimize your computer system by changing the
registry setting. Or learn more about the components that make up your
computer and how to optimize them through various techniques like overclocking
and changing the settings. (Not recommended though!!!) I found some tips
useful to speed up my internet connection even though I still use a 14.4K
modem. (Look in Filez for MTU-SPEED). It now functions faster and more reliable after implementing some
of the tips suggested... I cannot guaranteed that they will work and I
cannot guaranteed that they won't damage your computer. Please use the
suggestions AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I am not responsible for any damages caused
to your system through the implementation of the suggestions!!!
Here's a listing of a few sites where U can find drivers for your peripherals.
Although not an exhaustive list, they most likely to contain links to the
drivers you're looking for. Good Luck!!!
Essential Filez that U may not have known...
Find useful files that not many people know about but should. Cause
they R damn invaluable. Such an example would be GhostScript. This application
is similar to Acrobat in that it can read pdf files (and more), plus, it'll
allow you to print those files out without the use of a Post-Script compatible
laser printer. Oh, yeah, and it's freeware so that's an advantage itself
to check this application program out. This and more. Come and see 4 yourself.
Conventional Memory Problems?!?
By adding the lines in blue, it should enable you to run all those old games that require a lot of conventional memory. However, it is rumored that the Device driver: EMM386.EXE may cause crashes in Windows even though I personally haven't experience any. I suggest you make a boot disk to run those old games and reboot afterwards. I have included my own Config.sys file here for reference. Remember, always make a backup before making any changes to your system. Also, I am not responsible for any damages caused to your system by implementing the suggestion.
