random PC tips

While playing Anno 1404 Venice multiplayer in local LAN , I had some crashes on one of the PCs. The game suddenly shows a message saying "You no longer have enough memory" and then crashes after a while. I found several tips on the internet on how to solve this. But for me, this is what worked: 1) Download this tool called 4GB Patch and run it on these four .exe files: \Anno 1404 Gold Edition\Addon.exe \Anno 1404 Gold Edition\Anno4.exe \Anno 1404 Gold Edition\tools\AddonWeb.exe \Anno 1404 Gold Edition\tools\Anno4Web.exe 2) Reduce graphics quality to medium or low. This allowed us to play long sessions and I never saw the error again. I don't mind the graphics being a bit crappy if works better.

Not long ago, I bought Anno 1404 Gold Edition on discount from gog.com for about 4€. I have enjoyed playing it in local LAN. But getting there was a bit tricky, and here is a guide for others who want to do the same. 1) You need the Venice expansion pack for Anno 1404. The base game doesn't have a multiplayer feature. The Gold Edition contains both Anno 1404 and the Venice expansion. 2) You only need to buy one copy of Anno 1404 and Venice expansion to play in the local area network. 3) Starting the game, you should make sure to start Anno 1404 Venice, and not Anno 1404. There is no multiplayer option to select in Anno 1404. Here's a screenshot of how to start Anno 1404 Venice via GOG Galaxy: Don't press the big green button! You can also open start menu and type "Venice" to find the shortcut to Anno 1404 Venice. 4) You should create the game session on the most powerful PC you have. This is also the computer you should save the game on. We'l...

Here's a list of programs I recommend removing from a clean Windows 10 install. Click on start menu, Settings, Apps, and from the list, select what you want and Uninstall. What you should remove depends on what you need. There are also better programs out there to replace some of these. Commonly unnecessary software to remove: 3D Builder 3D Viewer Feedback Hub Groove Music Mixed Reality Portal Mobile Plans Movies & TV OneDrive OneNote Print 3D Xbox Live Xbox Console Companion A clean install of Windows 10 will have shortcuts for the various Microsoft Office apps, such as Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Outlook and Word. But if you don't have an Office license and are not planning on getting one, these are just taking up space. And you can always get the LibreOffice suite for free. In order to remove them, remove also the following programs: Office Microsoft Office 365 - da-dk Microsoft Office 365 - en-us ...and all of the other Office 365 ...

Rosetta@Home calculating... There are a couple of options to make your PC join the fight against Coronavirus: 1. Folding@Home has seen the most news coverage so far. Maybe you've heard about it. You can easily start by downloading the Folding@Home client. 2. Rosetta@Home is another project that is calculating possible cures to the disease. This one seems to have gotten much less media attention. You can start here . Both of these projects have been around a long time before the Coronavirus, researching cures for a list of other diseases like HIV, Ebola, Zika, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, etc. Folding@Home has maybe the easier user interface. For non-technical users it might be the better choice. Rosetta@Home uses BOINC , which has more features and allows you to specifically define the conditions for using your computing power. For the more technical ones I recommend Rosetta. You can also earn a little pocket money from calculating Rosetta@Home tasks. A cr...
