Why isn't there a help file with XP Smoker?
XP Smoker was written with power users in mind. But there have been enough requests for a help file that the next major version will have a help file.



:D

I've included a help file in XP Smoker now! You can download just the helpfile at http://waresoft.msspro.com/xpsmoker.chm

[zapjb]

Thanks for the help files. Really easy & informative. :)

[kAb]

does it have a huge effect?

[tweaked2themax]

You welcome. Thank you guys so much for using my program. I hope it serves you well. XP Smoker started out as a program for myself to change settings without having to use a zillion different programs. Basically, I added some of the best performance tweaks from Tweak XP, X-Setup, PCMedik, etc. All those programs have a big impact except they cost money. All for X-Setup. But X-Setup has way too many useless tweaks. You can get lost in that program. So I tried to make something simple with all the key performance tweaks. And a few IE security settings. Once again thank you guys.

[TRshady]

I would to try the program out but can't get to the site :(

Does supertrick block the site?

[nizers]

i can't get to it either :angry:

[zapjb]

My system's already pretty tight. Now with XP Smoker properly setup thanks to the help files. Noticing slight (guessing about 10%) performance gain. And it seems crisper & cleaner. I like that it's exe & it's freeware. :P

[tweaked2themax]

Check out my system at pcpitstop: http://www.pcpitstop.com/techexpress.asp?i...0BKWWQ0SJASW8MB (http://www.pcpitstop.com/techexpress.asp?id=T0BKWWQ0SJASW8MB)
This is my computer system after using XP Smoker.

Also, would anybody want a page to explain how to tweak out their ethernet card to the max and set their network settings for cable, and or satellite for maximum throughput?

Help file indicates a 'Modem Tweak' and a 'System Restore' function in XP Smoker. Not found in the program itself, did it get left out or is that something in the works for the next version?

the site is down

[racer II]

The site still works for me, maybe it was down for a short time.

And, thanks for the help file btw ;)

[tweaked2themax]

Hello everyone,

CornerPocket - XP Smoker has been updated there is a new version available. It has the system restore function and the extreme modem tweak. Download it here http://waresoft.msspro.com/xpssetup.exe

The new version is 1.5.16 - the help file is included in the installation program.

For everyone else. Please be patient. My host is having problems with their Apache servers, they seem to need to reboot several times daily, that compounded with XP Smoker being downloaded about 39,000 times is probably why the site is unavailable sometimes.

[zapjb]

tweaked2themax, are you the developer of XP Smoker? And how did you find your way here to this great site? :)

[tweaked2themax]

Yes I am the developer of XP Smoker. The site url is http://waresoft.msspro.com/index.html

I'm using mysitespace.com as my host. They are cheap, but my site seems to be down alot. As soon as I get more money I will be switching hosts.

[tweaked2themax]

The site seems to be working fine now though.

[tweaked2themax]

Oops I almost forgot! I found my way here by reviewing my weblog. Your url was one of my referring urls. So I figured I would check it out and here I am!

[ijc_2003]
