MZ Vista Force

Updated 24. August 2008 - 14:00 by JonathanT

The tweaking software available at http://mztweak.bravehost.com/ , i find awesome.... the MZ Vista force resolved some of the major issues i was facing with the Vista OS like
1. ending crashed processes automatically while shutting down instead of the system waiting for it ( Vista used to wait endlessly forcing me to kill the OS )
2. clearing pagefile at shutdown thus reducing defragmentation
3. Disabling DEP for explorer curing some of the random crashes
then there are performance tweaks, browser tweaks & so on...worked real fine for me....vista runs like a well oiled machine now....

I'm using Vista for more than a year but I haven't experienced any of your problems...

1. To prevent pagefile fragmentation set it to a fixed size.

2. Clearing pagefile at shutdown is very time-consuming, you should be aware of this already.

3. Disabling DEP for explorer... how did you enable it in the first place ? By default it's disabled, every now and than I even kill it myself and run it again, what's the problem ?

4. "ending crashed processes automatically while shutting down instead of the system waiting for it"... that is realy weird, ocasionally processes do crash - that's not specific of Vista - and I do kill them, but at shutdown I never, ever had that problem. What processes are you talking about ?

Hi

An Anonymous poster posted this in Best Free PC TUne-Up Utility and I moved the comment here.

So I don't know the answer to your questions.

Thanks

Ah, OK.

JonathanT;

I would be hesitant to use it's program as I always use to rely on MZ's Rambooster however Avast has recently been catching it's uninstaller as a trojan so you may want to look out for that one ;)

Hi

Well actually an Anonymous posted that but I forgot to add that fact.

Are you sure it's not a false positive? That seems to be fairly common with Avast.

Thanks
