5 essential applications for good gaming - CosPetia - 08-25-2014 Hi guys, As we all know gaming is not only fun but also a matter of good software and hardware solution. According to the specialists the new Windows 8 released in October 2013 offers a real pleasure for gamers due to the fact that it solves a lot of problems, that can be met in Windows 7 for example. We can't deny the fact that Windows 7 has reliability, even if it's missing some of Windows 8's under-the-hood improvements. In order to give my PC a good shape I installed list of the best (according to my opinion) free programs for Windows 7, which can ease its bugs and pains while gaming. I selected 5 programs that I think are essentials: CCleaner because it keeps the PC clear of temporary files and error logs as well as leftover registry strings, Defraggler - sometimes after moving a ton of files or making space on an overly full hard drive the PC needs some manual defragging. More importantly, it can do targeted defragmenting,Recuva - If a file has been deleted, Recuva can help to get it back. It's designed to help with a simple undelete, or to go digging for files that may still be accessible even after you've formatted a disk, VLC player - This free, open source video player, which comes with built-in video codecs for just about any file format imaginable, LastPass - Daily we enter many websites and forums at which we have to put our credentials. One simple solution to that problem is the presence of password manager and using LastPass is a one of the possible measures. I made this short list of "must have" software but ofcourse there are a lot more that can be said on this topic. So can you share which are the most important programs for safe and pleasurable gaming installed on your PC. RE: 5 essential applications for good gaming - Weasel - 08-27-2014 I use System Mechanic on my Win7 and it is fabulous. It has real time monitoring so if something starts slowing your internet it fixes it on the fly, prevents files from being written all over the place and such. Just a superb program that has allowed me to remove CCleaner, Mydefrag, and a couple of other programs. BTW - SM also has tools for SSD drives, but I don't have an SSD drive.
