Every day, multimedia applications, including games, are becoming more demanding on resources. personal computer. Unfortunately, not every user has the opportunity (or desire) to upgrade the hardware of the computer. Of course, the problem can be solved at the "iron" level, for example, by changing the combination of jumpers and thereby overclocking the processor to the maximum frequency. And yet this method does not always give an effective and, moreover, safe result. Another way change clock frequency by manipulating the BIOS. Here the risk is about 50 to 50, because if the wrong CPU Speed ​​\u200b\u200bSetting is set, then base system I / O will refuse to boot at all, and the unfortunate experimenter will have to hand over the ROM for repair, and he will most likely be told that the ROM cannot be repaired, a replacement is required and obviously not free. As you can see, both methods can lead to sad consequences. But we were told that a solution had been found, and, according to the developers, it is revolutionary - these are optimizer programs. Today's story is about them.

Let's first try to understand the independent part of optimizing the operation of Windows.

For the normal operation of the system, it is enough that explorer.exe (explorer, not to be confused with Internet browser Explorer!), internat.exe (keyboard layout), systray.exe (taskbar), rundll.exe (run dll libraries as applications) and cdi (disc recognition in a CD-ROM device). An elementary way to check their presence is a single press of the ++ combination. Everything else is applications running in resident mode or being used by the user at the moment. But this is only a necessary minimum for self-optimization. The entire "bouquet" of downloadable services can be viewed using 2 methods. The first requires a convenient file manager (FAR, VC, NC): you need to find the file responsible for autoloading autoexec.bat in the root directory of your hard drive. Then, by pressing the file edit key (F4 in FAR'e), block unnecessary launches, that is, enter a three-letter word (rem) before each of them. For example: REM C:\virus.exe. But in this way it is impossible to block everything and everything, since this refers in a sense to the DOS side of Windows.

Second way: enter into command line Windows'a (Run ...) the magic word msconfig and get into the System Settings. To start only vital services, just select Test run (or Diagnostic run in Win XP). Next, turn on the necessary services as needed (sound, antivirus, etc.).

Next step. It is highly desirable to remove wallpaper from the desktop and leave a minimum number of shortcuts on it.

All of the above actions should give a little extra percentage of the speed of the tasks assigned to the PC. But there are a lot of hidden OS settings, access to which is very tricky. To simplify it, there are not only tweakers, but also automated utilities.

What is the essence of optimizer utilities? First you need to understand the complexity of the problem situation. We all know that almost any Windows OS has a very bad property to accumulate various parts of files, and they gradually not only clog the hard drive, but also negatively affect the performance of the hardware. For a more or less normal operation of a highly demanding application, full return is needed not only from the hardware, but also from software environment. Utilities should “leave no touch” to parts of the OS that are not responsible for the program’s performance, and at the same time keep those “gateways” free through which desired application. Fans of computer games must have seen examples of optimizers in the 3D shooter Venom and the role-playing game Divine Divinity, which adjusted to the capabilities of the computer configuration. Both of them were, of course, designed for the "metropolis" application.

The main purpose of the utility is to speed up the launch of programs. It allows an individual approach to each application by specifying any file with the *.exe extension. By default, the standard system applications described above are added to the list of file launch settings regulation, as well as office programs. There are 4 speed setting modes min, norm, high, max. For example, let's add to the list of active programs graphic editor Photoshop (7th version), more precisely, its exe file. In normal mode, its loading time became 2530 seconds, after switching to max 7 seconds. Acceleration occurs due to the redistribution of memory, where and how it is distributed, the developers are modestly (or slyly) silent.

The utility has one drawback; it does not work, or rather, it displays a message about the program that performed the incorrect operation when trying to change the startup speed while the application is running. And one more thing: the activation of the speed occurs only after the second launch of the application.

It turns out that the Germans can not only fight and play industrial music, but also create universal RAM managers. The utility is very interesting in terms of external execution: three graphs are constantly drawn on the screen (a kind of “cardiogram”) red Memory Used (RAM usage), light blue CPU Usage (CPU utilization) and lilac Swap File Usage (Paging file). The function of the utility is declared as clearing the RAM without restarting the computer. The importance lies in the constancy of the system. In addition to graphs, 2 types of additional monitoring are available: viewing resource utilization and viewing all applications involved in the user's work. WRAM is good for everyone, only one thing is not clear: the utility itself also takes up memory, doesn't it?..

Game Utilities

The gamer will certainly doubt the effectiveness of the method: “We contemplated not such Kulibins. After their activities, there is zero use, and a lot of talk. To be honest, your obedient servant had a similar opinion until life gave him an ultimatum either new processor, video card and RAM, or, dear user, play Tetris and don't bore sellers with questions like "Will the game work fine on my 433rd?". Both options did not suit me, and then I remembered that a very long time ago, when my computer was still new and one of the most powerful, a rumor touched my ears that there were programs that allow games designed for, say, a frequency of 300 MHz, “fly” on 166 Pentiums. Laughing, the author of these lines replied something like “They will fly, most likely, not games, but motherboard» However, after 4 years it was no longer a laughing matter, and I decided to take a chance.

The program package, in addition to the main files, includes detailed instruction by usage (*.html format), license agreement on the refusal to use the program for commercial purposes and Readme. The reader can see the interface of the program in the screenshot. It is easy to guess that the first button is for acceleration, and the second one is for returning to normal mode. The checkbox allows you to change the part if you wish. standard features Windows for more efficiency. After selecting the "tick" and pressing the accelerator, a reboot followed ...

The result of the utility's action left a very favorable impression, and yet it did not do without system failures: after returning to the "default" mode by for some unknown reason the dsound.dll (DirectX) library refused to work, but the funny thing is that after switching to warp speed, the library started working again. The cause of this failure was determined using the mutual exclusion method, that is, by prohibiting changes to standard functions. Perhaps the determinant of this minus is GXP predetermination under Windows XP, because the interface buttons cause more than serious deja vu.

A more complex and well-made game optimizer. Based on the famous PC Medic. The seriousness of the approach to its creation is evidenced by a multi-level help file (*.chm format), an extensive version history (from 1.7.5 to 2.4.5 in total 42 versions) and the ability to contact technical support(in English). There are 2 types of acceleration available here: Fast mode and Fastest mode. There is also the possibility of correcting incorrect initialization of the processor type and OS. The second acceleration mode requires mandatory registration, as you probably already guessed, not free. You should not be upset about this, since Fastest is only slightly more efficient than Fast, and the program itself is not a trial, therefore it does not require mandatory registration, although it reminds you of the need for it every time you start (in general, the situation is painfully trivial.). No side effects were found during the entire period of work.

Finally, I want to make a warning, or rather, give parting words, do not install crack applications for the example described above, since their installation may entail the inability to return the operating system to default mode.

The disadvantage of both optimizers is that they are designed for those applications where 3D polygon graphics are used, and are ineffective for games with an isometric (pseudo-3D) "engine". Also inconvenient is the lack of display of changes in the system; one could make a simple entry in text file. Sad, but still imagine what happens if you activate GXP and GG at the same time ...

P.S. During the entire testing period, neither hardware nor system problems were noticed. The results of checking the system with the Sandra test package showed that the utilities had no effect on the hardware of the computer: the temperature of the processor and video card chip remained normal. Only a conflict with the package was noticed K-Lite codec, which was fixed by rolling back to GameGain.

In the instructions for setting up TP-LINK routers, I always write about setting up through a browser. When we open the router control panel through the browser, and set the necessary parameters. But, there is another simple and quick way to set up a TP-LINK router - using the Easy Setup Assistant program, which is located on the disk that comes with the router.

With all the TP-LINK routers that I had, in the kit you could find a small disk on which this very Easy Setup Assistant utility is located. With which you can quickly configure your TP-LINK router. By the way, many are looking for and want to download drivers for the TL-WR841ND router, and other models. It seems to me that people have to introduce this particular utility for quick setup. Since there are no drivers for routers (except for some mobile devices).

The disadvantages of such a setting are that only the main parameters can be set there. (connect, set up the Internet and Wi-Fi network). But on the other hand, the average user does not need anything else. And yet, not everyone has computers or laptops. And if there is, then it is not a fact that there is a CD / DVD drive. Now many laptops are already being sold without a drive.

And the advantages of setting TP-LINK router disc that the Easy Setup Assistant allows you to step by step setup. Now we will look at everything, using the example of the TP-LINK TL-WR740N router (there are more). I wanted to show, but now there is no this model. Yes, and this instruction will be universal. Suitable for any TP-LINK router. True, I do not know how it is with new devices. But with the new Archer C20i router, the kit included exactly the same utility disk.

Well, do not forget that TP-LINK has more. Which is designed to configure and manage routers from mobile devices.

Where can I download the TP-LINK Quick Setup Wizard?

Your best bet is to run the Easy Setup Assistant from the CD that came with the package. If there is no disk, or there is no way to start it, then the quick setup utility can be downloaded. Follow the link http://www.tp-linkru.com/download-center.html . Select your device model, then hardware version (look at the bottom of the router on the sticker, for example, V2), go to the "Utility" tab, and download the archive with the utility by simply clicking on the link with the name, for example: "Tp-Link TL-WR841N_V8_Easy Setup Assistant_131119_CA". Then just open the downloaded archive and run the "EasySetupAssistant.exe" file.

But, in this case, the utility will most likely be in English, which will complicate the setup process a bit. On the disk, the Easy Setup Assistant utility will most likely be in Russian.

Step-by-step, quick setup of a TP-LINK router using the program

The router is not connected yet. We take a disk, insert it into the drive of a computer or laptop. If the utility does not start automatically (didn't start for me), then open "Computer", or "This PC" (in Windows 10), then open the "CD drive", and run the file "Autorun.exe".

The Quick Setup Wizard opens. We do everything strictly according to the instructions. Hover the mouse over our model (in my case it is TL-WR740N), and select "Quick Setup Wizard".

The wizard's window will open. Select the Russian language (if any), and click "Start".

Attention! At this point, the utility will turn off Wi-Fi on your laptop, if any. So that it does not interfere with us in the router's tincture.

In the setup wizard window, we will see instructions that will say that we need to connect the router to the computer via cable. We use the cable that was included. Click next.

The next step is to connect the Internet to the router. Connect a cable from your ISP or ADSL modem to the WAN connector. After connecting, click on the "Next" button.

On the next page, the setup wizard will ask us to connect power to the router. Connect the power adapter, plug it into a power outlet. If the indicators on the front panel do not light up, then check if the power is turned on with the button on the router (if there is such a button, for example, it is not in the TL-WR740N). We press the "Next" button.

We will see a description of the operation of the indicators of the TP-LINK router, by which you can determine whether the router is connected correctly and whether it works correctly.

Check will start network adapter, and the state of the network.

If during this check you see a message that configuration is not possible, and you need to check the connection of the router, then disable the antivirus (or its built-in firewall). I have not yet completely disabled my Dr.Web, then an error appeared when checking the parameters. You probably won't have these problems with your antivirus.

We wait until the verification is completed successfully, and click "Next".

Router installation is complete. The Easy Setup Assistant will proceed to configure the router.

Automatic Internet connection setup on TP-LINK router

Now we need to set the most important settings. Set up our router to work with an Internet provider. Nothing difficult. Just select your country, region, provider, and connection type from the list. It's done like this:

If you have NOT Dynamic IP, and for example PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP, you will also need to set a username and password. And also other information, if necessary. All this information must be given to you by your ISP.

If your country, region, or provider is not in the list, then check the box next to "I did not find suitable settings", and set the settings manually.

All data is provided by the ISP.

If your router is connected to an ADSL modem, then in manual settings select "Dynamic IP".

Everything must work.

If the settings are correct, the router will connect to the Internet and proceed to setting up the wireless network.

TP-LINK: quick Wi-Fi network setup through the program from the disk

A window will appear in which we need to set a name WiFi networks. Think of any name. You can even leave the default (which is already spelled out).

A window will appear with the result of setting up our TP-LINK router. There will be information on setting up a connection, the name of the Wi-Fi network, and a password. You can write down the password somewhere, or leave a checkmark next to "Save settings data in a text file on my desktop" and click "Next". A text file will appear on the desktop containing the Wi-Fi password.

Again, we wait while the Easy Setup Assistant utility saves and checks the router settings. And click "Next" again.

A window will appear with information on setting up a WPS connection, click "Next".

Then we will see the last window in which you just need to click on the button "Complete". If you want to enter the settings through the browser, open the control panel, then click on the link "WEB-interface settings".

So, step by step, we set up the router.

Some more useful information

I would also advise you to change the default password admin, which protects the entrance to the settings. You can do this through the control panel, according to the instructions.

After completing the setup, you can disconnect your computer or laptop from the router. It does not have to be connected by cable. You will now be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network. And if you have an Internet connection configured on your computer, then it is no longer needed. This connection will start the router.

Perhaps you still have some questions about this article, leave them in the comments. If you get some kind of error, or something cannot be done, then write in detail at which step you have a problem with the configuration.

A modern person spends a lot of time at a computer, whether it is stationary equipment or a laptop, so it is advisable to create the most comfortable conditions for yourself when working on it.

In addition to external factors such as indoor lighting, a large role in providing convenient and safe use play device settings.

For the finest adjustment, you may need a program for.

Introduction

What are these programs and what are they for? Such software suggests fast access to all possible settings and parameters of the computer screen. With it, you can adjust any monitor parameter optimally exactly for yourself.

Of course, access to most of the functions provided by such a program, can provide their own computer resources, for example, they can be accessed via Control Panel.

However, make it through special program, in fact, one click, much more convenient.

The functionality of such programs is quite wide - they help to change the color, brightness, screen resolution, manage it, adjust the position of buttons, panels and shortcuts, etc. That is, such software "collects" all the possibilities of changing the screen parameters to make it easier to access them .

In addition, some software helps to configure more complex settings that cannot be changed using the computer's own resources.

Why is it so important to carefully fine-tune your monitor settings? This is due to the fact that the main load when working at a computer falls on the eyes, and it is the screen that creates it. Thus, with careful adjustment of the monitor, this load can be reduced, potentially even helping to maintain good vision.

Main characteristics

Choose the most optimal program, often, it is quite difficult, since it is necessary to take into account a whole lot of parameters at the same time.

To simplify and speed up this process, the summary table below shows the main characteristics of all software included in the TOP, which can be of primary importance when choosing.

Taking into account these parameters will allow you to quickly choose the most suitable software for yourself.

Ultramon

most functional and simple program of all presented in the TOP. It is easy to work with and it helps to make fairly fine adjustments to the monitor, to change even the most insignificant parameters in a wide range. Distributed for a fee, but has a trial period.

Particularly easy to work with - it allows you to copy and move desktops from one monitor to another, copy them, stretch the taskbar across multiple monitors, etc. It also allows you to swipe technical setup screens - change color, resolution and more.

The advantages of such software are as follows:

• "Sharpness" for multi-monitor;
• Simple control and clear interface;
• Wide functionality.

• Paid license;
• Sufficiently narrow functionality of the settings technical parameters;
• A large number of functions that are not required by the average PC user.

And here is what users who have already worked in this program say: “I didn’t find anything better than this program”, “It does not have some functions that are in Actual Multipal Monitors, but in general I am satisfied with the software”, “It works stably, the functionality is sufficient for optimization screen controls.

Nokia Monitor Test

This is a small and lightweight utility designed to adjust monitor settings (geometry, contrast, and others) without changing its control systems. The name should not confuse you - the software is designed to work specifically with screens and.

It has high-quality Russification, and the help files installed in the utility will help you decide on the settings depending on the nature of your work and the amount of workload.

This will reduce eye strain when working at a computer.

• No need to install the program;
• Availability of reference materials for setting up;
• Minimum load on the hardware and memory of the device.

• Narrow functionality;
• The lack of the possibility of any adjustments, except for "technical" ones;
• Works stably on most systems.

The opinions of users who are already actively using this program are as follows: “It is a pity that it is impossible to run on Windows 8 X64. I tried everything and nothing works”, “Allows you to set up the monitor qualitatively and evaluate all the main parameters of the picture. The set of tables is reference. Great program!”, “Helped bring the monitor back to life.”

power strip

An application that allows you to configure the technical parameters and control both one monitor and several at once. It is distributed for a fee due to its high complexity and wide functionality.

It differs in that it supports, including the old ones.

It has 500 settings for the display, video card, both the simplest and the most complex. There is extensive and clear help for all complex and simple functions and parameters.

• Support for multi-screen mode;
• Very wide functionality;
• It is equally convenient both in working with multi-screen systems and with simple ones.

• Paid software distribution;
• The need for its installation;
• Quite a significant load on the memory and hardware resources of the computer.

And here is what those who actively use it say about the program: “My favorite program”, “This program will allow you to discover new opportunities, so download it soon”, “I have been using the program for a very long time, I consider it the most valuable of the similar ones.”

UD Pixel

Let's explain the two terms we will use:



• object - a subsystem consisting of channels. For example, an object - a house heating system consists of a boiler control channel, control channels for radiators, underfloor heating, hot water supply, etc. It may be another, independent object. For example, heating a bath with another boiler. The object has its own mode setting - "comfort"/"economy"/"schedule".
• channel - a control circuit that maintains the temperature. It usually has a set temperature, a control algorithm (for example, relay) and a lot of additional options. For example, there may be a channel for maintaining the temperature of the coolant in the boiler. Or a channel for maintaining the temperature in the mixing unit (three-way valve) or maintaining the temperature of a warm floor, and so on.

Channels fall into two categories:
• channel - heat source;
• channel - heat consumer.

Saving settings in a configuration file

The configuration utility starts when you run the start.bat file, see the figure below:

The first thing to do is to select a configuration file config- XXXXXXXXXXX X.zip to load into the utility. or fileconfig .zip if this is a demo version of the simulator. An example in the figure below:

Two steps are required:

• creating and editing an object (objects);
• creating events

Note. It is possible that after launching the utility, the real names of the sensors that were assigned to them are not visible in the sensor selection fields. Then you need to restart the utility a second time.

Creating and editing a channel

As noted above, channels are "sources" and "consumers". The channel dialog is shown in the figure:

Channel names can be arbitrary. They are needed only for convenience of indication during configuration, and then these names are displayed in the web interface.

If there are two or more boilers, then the following can be selected special options as in the picture above.

The source channel looks like:

In the figure above, some of the elements are provided with comments.:

checkbox "Inversion" is not worth it, so the boiler turns on when relay number 1 is turned on.
• fixed mode means that the channel maintains a fixed temperature of 65 degrees.
• a hysteresis of 5 degrees is applied.
• the circulation pump can also operate simultaneously with the boiler. In this case, the checkbox "circulation pump" is not checked, that is, the pump does not work.
• a temperature sensor must be attached to the boiler outlet pipe, its serial number must be entered in the "Primary VT sensor" field. There is no backup sensor.
• the boiler operates on demand from consumer channels, and not constantly.
• the boiler has the status "main". This matters if redundancy is enabled in the channel dialog.

the consumer channel looks like:

View of the latest version:

In the figure above, some of the elements are provided with comments:

• the channel number is a unique arbitrary number, the program sets it automatically during configuration. It is possible to specify which channel will block heat demand from this channel. This can be useful when the underfloor heating duct is blocked by the radiator duct.
• relay inversion is enabled, checkbox. This means the relay will be on when the heat request is off.
• you can not fully configure the system, for example, do not enter the hysteresis value, as in the figure above. As a result, the script will give an error and will not be able to work out the algorithm correctly. This is unacceptable, when debugging, you should carefully check that there are no errors.
the serial number of the sensor must match the sensor number in the web interface, this is important. This is the only way to assign a specific sensor to a specific channel.

Creating events

In addition to configuring objects and channels, the utility allows you to configure events sent to the server. To do this, click on the "Events" button in the object selection window, see the figure above. An event creation dialog will appear. :

In the figure above, one logical condition is set - exceeding the level at analog input 1. In this case, the text of the message "Sensor threshold exceeded" will be generated, the relay will not work, the delay before the message is generated will be 5 seconds .

The figure above shows that in addition to the event on the analog input, there may be other options. :

• relay actuation event;
• temperature sensor event
• discrete input event
• event by state of internal change in Lua script
