This guide is, in its entirety, taken from Jim’s thread over at OverClock3d. These files will increase your USB polling frequency from the Windows Vista default of 125hz to 500hz or 1000hz making your mouse much more responsive in gaming. This file will only work on the RTM/Final version of Vista 32-Bit and 64-bit. If you want the same hack under Windows XP just search google for “XP usbport.sys...

Background This is how an article at Microsoft’s TechNet describes the changes in Vista’s sharing. The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In Windows® XP Home Edition, the default workgroup name is MSHOME. If you upgrade a computer running Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Vista, it will keep its existing workgroup name. However, new computers with...

This is something that should be so easy as downloading the skins themselves is easy as pie. I have found a very simple method of completing this. First of all you need the skin itself. It can be found on several places, but most notably on the uTorrent site itself. Go there and find yourself a nice looking skin, and make sure it’s called toolbar.bmp when downloaded! Open up an Explorer window...

Skype, the modern free Voice Over IP calling software, is a great way of calling your friends and family and staying in touch. But for us who’d like something a little more advanced and technical, Skype lacks a lot of settings and options. However, if you’re on the lookout for some pretty advanced statistics such as what codec and quality is being used, what pings you are getting and how...

I have never really explored Apple’s Safari’s web inspector, nor have I ever found or wished there to be any use in it. I use my own source-files to debug and check my sites, and I also happen to use the built-in code-editors in some of the PHP software I use. Due to my sheer ignorance of this perhaps marvelous feature of Safari I have never (with emphasis on never) touched the Console...

Currently I am in the process of installing Windows 7 Beta 1 – the new operating system shipped out by Microsoft. After acquiring the disc needed to install the Beta 1 version of the operating system I went through the fairly simple and Vista-like installation process and booted up. Right now I am installing drivers and programs and testing whether these work or not. I will keep this post updated...

Have you ever taken pictures you just wished were a lot more colorful? Ever felt the need to cram that extra little bit of color out of a seemingly perfect picture? Thanks to a tutorial and some personal research I have come up with a very simple and effective method that will highlight and increase the colors in a photo. Let’s get going! This is the image we will come up with, in comparison...

Introducing you to the SoL R38. It’s a highly efficient modern LED lamp with power-saving in mind as well as long life of operation, performance (the light itself is crisp and white) and heat emissions. And best of all, it’s coolest on the block. Buy a few of these and you can turn any dull room into something well worth the stay, more or less! The outer shell, the housing, is made of...

So. You have a Mac OSX and you’re a Telia user, or using any other ISP, and you buy this wonderful wireless 3G internet package. You receive a parcel with the little egg-looking modem (the Huawei E220) and the shiny USB-cable. All the documentation is for Windows and the only thing people have used it for are PCs. Now what? First thing you should try is to use the built-in drivers available on...

You most likely have not seen this in action yet. If you have, then you’re probably really eager on how to do it, and if you haven’t you probably want to see how it is done anyway. I was at least, and I am perfectly normal! What is all this about? XFire introduced Live Video back a few months ago. Live Video is a tool for gamers to broadcast what they see to the masses. It’s quick...
