    GeForce 4 ti4200, how to disable fps max limit?

    I seriously doubt that, what is more probable is that you have not configured you card properly or you are using a much older machine. Just out of interest, what machine are you using? _______________________ Happy to help if i can. Stretchy [Pipe]

    "Save as..." windows pop up !!

    I think (if memory serves) that it can be found in your Program Files directory. Like I said I doubt very much whether its a virus, I first thought it was an Ad popup tool. Its never done anything on my system so I just deleted it. Kazaa still works ok. _______________________ Happy to Help if i...

    "Save as..." windows pop up !!

Harmless as far as I know. _______________________ Happy to Help if i can. If my posts have been of any help...

    Tools for effective text presentation

    Hi, I've never tried this before and this is probably why I'm having troubles. What I have is a body of text held in a database, this text will sometimes be accompanied with pictures. What I need is the text to appear on the web page, wrapped around the pictures. I can get the text there by the...

    How good/bad is the GeForce4 MX 440

    Minnis, If your considering the GF3 Ti 500 i can reccommend it as I have one myself. Both the Ti 200 and Ti 500 and very very respectable cards, my 3d mark with the 500 is around 8800 The GF4 Ti4200 is an amazing card, and can be performance tweaked to hell to produce the same speeds as the...

    Need Help Selecting Stuff to Build a PC

    Looks pretty good so far. Shame your in the US though coz theres a great deal on CoolerMaster cases over here in some stores at the moment. I would go with the Athlon XP as I feel there is more bang there than the P4. Doubt you will really need to overclock it but, if you do then CoolerMaster...

    Creeping Temp of XP 2000

    Athlon XP chips are tough little blighters to cool. My 2100 idles at 50C when its cool outside, but over the last 2 weeks as the weather has been hotter it idles at anytyhing between 51 - 57C. This used to be a worry but I've come to the conclusion that its perfectly safe. I've done everything...

    Artic Silver 3 Thermal Paste

    wot i did was this: 1. Removed any existing pad/thermal paste that was on my cpu core and from heat sink. use an alcohol based cleaner and lint free cloth. This bit is important as arctic silver is different from other pastes. 2. Apply a v.small (i do mean v.small) amount of arctic silver paste...

When i try and run it anyway it says i need to be a system...

    GeForce 4 ti4200, how to disable fps max limit?

    I doubt its anything in-game but do you have a specific cfg file that u use for playing CS? if so are there any graphics settings that are limiting it to 60 fps? Otherwise try changing the advanced settings under control panel/display. Try turning V-Sync off (I know this helped with my fps on...

    How to keep case cool?

    Currently for my XP-2100+ I use A CoolerMaster HCC-001 Copper Heat Pipe (long name but very powerful). Its only drawback is the amount of noise generated by the 60mm delta fan. This can be fixed however by screwing an 80mm adapter to the heatsink and using a larger fan (less noisy). That would...
