PrometheusTS Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hello , I perhaps among the many that got their pcs f*#@ed up by that Program Tool released that has got so many endorsements on the main page ... TYC - Tweak your computer - Now He nicely removed possibility to comment on the program and in theend the file was even obscured leaving all the people that where f*#@ed clueless... The main BIG problem I have is that that file messed up my network system that now doesnt work anymore , MY CK doesn't load anymore ANY of my mods and crashes on itself on some cpp stuff ... GREAT Job man ! and you even got on the main page to showcase that trap !!! Now Is anyonesle have a solution to fix the network deleted groups , the mess that this program did and how can I do to revert back to usability my CK without having to damn Reinstall the Whole SO or programs????

FrankFamily Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) first of all, i don't think it was a trap, but the program disabled lots of services, some of them needed for things to work properly (not windows itself, but some apps and windows features) it also changed some registry values, so it may have messed up your registry. Keep in mind that there is no magic solution to speed up a pc, only overclocking and buying better components; if you have a really "dirty" computer then a clean will improve it's overall performance, but nothing more, and with "clean" i mean using ccleaner or other well known utilities, never ever use something like this. Would you give your computer to someone that says that he can make your computer ultrafast? Anyway, that said, here some posible solutions: -First of all, uninstall it, don't remember the instruction and now we can't read the description, but it probably has a startup item, found in startup folder (if you get asc, see below, it has a startup manager utility, and also a few more steps below, in msconfig.exe you can also disable startup items.) and then delete the exe wherever it is... - run "rstrui.exe" and see if you have a recent restore point, windows will make them with critical windows updates, for example, so you may have one. You will lost all programs installed since the restore point was made but will keep documents, images, etc. Anyway you'd better backup everything asap. -get advanced system care (what i use), maybe cclean will also work but i prefer asc. > scan your computer with the windows repair tool, it may fix things > clean/repair registry properly with it > includes a "undelete tool" so if the tvc deleted something you may be able to recover it.-run "services.msc" and enable services related to thing that now don't work, you can also google for a list of "safe to disable" services and enable the rest. (do not disable any service that is enabled, just enable some that are disabled and not in the list, that way you ensure you don't make it worse)-run "msconfig" and enable every windows service (similar to services.msc) and/or if you ahve checked the option called "selective startup" (or similar, i'm spanish) change it to "normal startup" Good luck with it, and if you need anything pm me (i'm not proffesional, but i may be able to help) Edited February 15, 2013 by FrankFamily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusTS Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Now everytime I loac CK ( with version control enabled ) It says Master file Skyrim.esm does not mach the one on the network . copy network version to local directory? syaing yes does nothing , saying no it asks again ... yes to all disable the popou but the file is not loaded then it popups this message : FileC:\_Skyrim\Code\TESV\TES Shared|Sky\Sky.cpp Line 2191Sky:: UpdateWather failed to determine an active weather then ctd ... This is happeneing since I rebooted the computer after Install that "MOD" Now this is not only not a mod as he calls but is an untility at the most , was provided with minimal description and just saying it was not touching anything , instead it did touch a lot and mess with registry files that caused deletion of networks setupI had previously configure , now for some reason evenif resharing the folders doesnt allow for the CK to recognize anymore the version control folders and keeps finding diffrent version not matching the ones in data folder creating a loop of error that has apparently no solution ... this is not something that can be reversed with an uninstall ,it's something that this program did ... This Tool shoudl be not only blocked but DELETED from the File mods , I really find Absurd that not only was allowed to be listed as a skyrim utility when with skyrim has nothing to do ... but its even allowed to stay on the main page taking the place of other worthly and unarmfull mods ... and if people may object that it's a skyrim utility I say o it is not ... Oscape is a skyrim utility , tesannwyn is a skyrim utility , TES5Edit is a skyrim utiliy , Tessnip is a skyrim utility ... that stuff is a PC utility that just may work for some and create a dozillion of damage to others ... right now my pc is f*#@ed ! I cannot work on mods anymore and the CK is fuked ! .... Thanks a lot to that authros program and everyone that allows it to still stay on the main page and among mods !

FrankFamily Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) now it's hidden so no more endorsements nor downloads (it had over 150 endorsements i think), btw you could report it... maybe reinstalling skyrim fixes everything, i don't know how you have set up your network, but looks like you have part or the whole skyrim on a network and not your computer (or in another computer) and tvc messed it up, so i supose, but dunno.

Mardoxx Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\TYC-Tweakyourcomputer.bat The below are my registry settings, they may not be the same as yours were before you ran TYC. Either do the below, or use system restore to hopefully restore your settings. Save this as restore.reg and execute it to merge back to your registry settings: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "MinAnimate"=0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "TaskbarAnimations"=0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM] "CompositionPolicy"=1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM] "ColorizationOpaqueBlend"=1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM] "AlwaysHibernateThumbnails"=0x0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "DisableThumbnails"=0x1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ListviewAlphaSelect"=0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "DragFullWindows"=0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"=1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ListviewShadow"=1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] "ThemeActive"=1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "UserPreferencesMask"=9012038010000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ShowInfoTip"=0x1 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "AutoEndTasks"=1 "HungAppTimeout"=1000 "MenuShowDelay"=8 "WaitToKillAppTimeout"=2000 "LowLevelHooksTimeout"=1000 "ForegroundLockTimeout"=0x0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse] "MouseHoverTime"=8 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD\Parameters] "BufferMultiplier"=0x400 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=0x14 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=0x14 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=0x14 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=0x14 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem] "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"=0x1 "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=0x1 "NtfsMftZoneReservation"=0x0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "LastActiveClick"=0x1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "PagedPoolSize"=0x0 "NonPagedPoolSize"=0x0 "DisablePagingExecutive"=0x1 "LargeSystemCache"=0x0 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"=2000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=0x1 "LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo"=0x1 "NoResolveSearch"=0x1 "NoResolveTrack"=0x1 "NoInternetOpenWith"=0x1 Save the following to a file called fix.bat and execute it (or run each command manually form command prompt) sc config LanmanServer start= auto sc config seclogon start= manual sc config ProtectedStorage start= manual sc config AeLookupSvc start= manual sc config WerSvc start= manual sc config RemoteRegistry start= manual sc config TabletInputService start= manual sc config SharedAccess start= manual sc config Mcx2Svc start= disabled sc config NetTcpPortSharing start= disabled sc config RemoteAccess start= disabled sc config WMPNetworkSvc start= disabled sc config FontCache3.0.0.0 start= manual sc config WSearch start= delayed-auto sc config DPS start= auto sc config TrkWks start= auto sc config iphlpsvc start= auto sc config lmhosts start= auto sc config LanmanWorkstation start= auto Restart your computer. See if that works. I was interested to see what "tweaks" this "application" does, and posted them all here.. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1443981-tweak-your-computer-what-does-it-do/ I very much doubt this has anything to do with breaking your CK, however.

PrometheusTS Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Thankyou Mardoxx , that made again work my CK with VC network system , though my networked printer system is still uncrecognized ... I am sorry and I apologize for my heavy rant and discredit of this mod , but honestly it caused too much of a hassle for many users, is not even a mod and not even a skyrim utility ... presented with very minimal information on what was going to disable with just a shiny promise of supefast pcs ... now I was just curious when I installed because my pc is already fast ,and lured into the "trap" by the many affirmations that this utility did not touch anything in the reg files , did not delete anything if not junk files and all ..... instead it did change the reg files in a way that it couln't be restored easily by a normal user .... looks now to me as many others that that despite any goodwill of the "modder" that was not presented in a rightly form , with proper documentation , with proper uninstalleement function and most of all with a control of what was going to do ...

Adder1 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well, mod page and comment tread's back up if you feel like taking a crack at things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankFamily Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Good to see you got it fixed. I just want to say that when a mod claims that it improves performance there will be a lot of people endorsing and saying that it's awesome, even if it does nothing at all. Placebo effect... i remember a mod that was a "port" of a oblivion mod, it actually didn't do anything at all and it got over 300 endorsments, so imagine how much people thought it worked...conlcusion if you want to get endorsments really easy make a fake performance mod, not saying this one is fake (will clean computer and may improve performance slightly) but i don't believe it can improve performance as much as some users say...
