    Lightbulb General Steps to Excellent Gaming

    Steps you can take to have a better gaming experience...

    1.)Kill all startup Programs.
    click on start
    (if XP click run)
    in the search box (or run box) on the bottom type msconfig {Press Enter}
    click on the startup tab
    click on "Disable All"
    Click on the services tab
    check the box next to "Hide all Microsoft services" (the list will refresh)
    then click on disable all
    click on apply then OK and it will ask you to restart for changes to take effect... Restart the PC
    when you come back up you will have more resources to play because all the messengers, and other programs that you have installed that automatically start when you boot the PC wont be loading (you can always load any program you want from the programs menu.).

    2.) Perform Disk Cleanup
    click on start
    (if XP click run)
    in the search box (or run box) on the bottom type
    Code:
    %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe
    select your C: drive
    Click OK
    it will run through a scan
    once complete select all options in the list and click on OK
    another box may appear to confirm click yes/continue/ok


    3.)Clear your Browser Cache
    Click Here for a How to.

    4.) Make sure all Video Drivers are Upto date.
    Click the manufacture's name to go to their page.
    Nvidia
    ATI-Desktops
    ATI-Notebooks
    Intel

    5.) Clean your registry
    its up to you to find a registry cleaner but you want to do this because your computer has to read the registry a lot and if there is a ton of junk entries inside then it will take longer to read thus making your computer slower. You can do a Google search for one or i suggest using CleanMyPC Registry Cleaner.


    6.) Disable UAC (only for Vista/Seven)
    You know that annoying box that pops up and the screen behind it goes black and you have to hit continue? well this will stop that .. the UAC also eats a ton of resources. You can click HERE for a how to.

    Help i used to play on OGP or Global Service and now i cannot login ...

    Uninstall Cabal
    Delete any left over files and folders related to cabal
    RE-Download Cabal from HERE
    Install Cabal
    DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT DL and INSTALL the MANUAL PATCH!!!!!!!
    If you are on Vista or Seven then follow the next few steps if not then jsut run the game let it update and play ...

    VISTA/SEVEN Users (ONLY)
    Right click on the icon for cabal that is on the desktop
    Left click on PROPERTIES
    Left Click on the COMPATIBILITY TAB
    put a check mark in the "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" box
    LEFT CLICK on OK
    now run the game let it update log in and play.

    The reason you are having to do this is because you are either a Global player or an OGP player and have not changed to the new client properly, there may be some left over files from the previous host that are causing issues.

    ALSO NOTE that if you are an OGP Player and HAVE NOT transferred your account over yet then you are screwed because all OGP transfers have been finished.


    More to come soon.

    In no way do i warranty or guarantee these steps if you fail to do them exactly as i stated your system may not boot properly, use this at your own risk, if you fail at life do not attempt this as i cannot and will not be held responsible for you messing up your mommy and daddy's computer.

    #2 and 3- All Windows Versions XP and Up...CCleaner aka Crap Cleaner does a lot of nice things besides just cleaning Crap off your comp. Junk files, edit startup programs, fix registry errors, remove old restore points, clear browser caches, etc.

    #5- Nice Registry Cleaner and decently effective. Macecraft's Powertools Lite, freeware version just the registry cleaner of the full blown jv16 Powertools Suite.

    My Addition
    Defrag your discs regularly...

    Auslogics DiskDefrag
