Rivatuner & Guru3d - Compatibility Regression & Windows XP Support

The RivaTuner software is a Windows based overclocking utility that allows you to overclock your PC to the extreme and see your PC performance increase dramatically. However, like many other overclocking utilities it does have one Achilles tendon, the fact that it is a Windows application that needs to be able to read Windows installation files in order for it to work correctly. This means that if you are using a different OS than Windows itself (such as Linux), then the application will not be able to configure the various Windows settings correctly. The great thing about this is that there's an application called Guru3d which can take care of all of these issues for you. Guru3d is basically a Windows based utility that allows you to use Windows based overclocking software such as RivaTuner, load Windows programs such as your Windows XP operating system, and more.

So what exactly does Guru3d do? It does what its name suggests, it scans your computer for any of the missing drivers or missing files that are required by your computer to fully configure the advanced Windows features. It then gives you the ability to select any of the Windows options you want to customize. Once you have completed this task you simply have to click on the "OK" button and your computer will begin to configure and change Windows settings accordingly. You can use the advanced Windows options to tweak the likes of your desktop icons, your screen resolution, your Windows Bootup Screen, display settings such as whether you want to display the desktop on the desktop, and much more.

Compatibility regression is a big issue with Windows based overclocking programs such as RivaTuner. However, while running this program it is recommended that you back up your entire hard drive just in case something goes wrong and you need to rollback your PC settings to the previous versions. Also make sure that you have the latest version of Windows 98, and the latest Service Pack for that version. I am glad that all the spyware, adware, Trojans, worms, and all of the problems that my computer had been suffering from are all gone now all thanks to a high quality anti-virus software that I have found online, and a reliable and effective program called Guru3d.
