(More download options at the bottom of the page)

This program is free.

Simple internet tools is a dozen of simple yet helpful tools for both the common user and admin's.

The IP Calculator is a tool for admin's when they have to configure how they are going to setup their networks.
To base what subnet to use and such. Most normal users won't need this tool, admin's however will.

The IP converter is again a tool for admin's and their networks converting IP's to there long addresses and such.

Ip Scanner, self explanatory.

Netstats shows current connections on your system.

Ping, same as the one in windows but a little simpler to use with extra options.

Port listener is a tool to watch a port and see if someone try's to connect to it. Not a everyday tool but useful when needed from hacking attempts.

Scan what ports are open on a IP address.

This will resolve a name to its address and a address to its name. I use this the most when I see an IP trying to connect to my computer.

Ip config, nicer to use than the command prompt one built into windows.

Extra TCP stats you cant normally see easily.

Trace route is simply a alterative to the built in one in windows.

Look up domains and MX records. MX records are the mail servers the domain uses.

If you need any help or have questions drop me a line in the forums!

(More download options at the bottom of the page)
 

Works on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, & 2008 32bit (Untested on 64 bit)

Click Here For Detailed CS Fire Monitor Information (Based Off v2.5.5 Still Valid For v3.0.0).

Click Here To Download Screen Saver Source Code (VB6)

Quick note: if you use the CS Fire Monitor Screen saver, CS Fire Monitor must be running for the screen saver to get the data.
So if you use the windows task scheduler to have the program start without logging in you can also change the default logon screen screen saver to the CS Fire Monitor screen saver using this easy method from Microsoft.

CS Fire Monitor is a comprehensive monitoring tool for the Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista & 2008 platforms. It has an extensive range of live monitoring screens that capture data from many areas within a PC and since the application has its own inbuilt database it is also capable of producing a number of reports which can be saved in a variety of ways. In addition, the Remote Viewer allows the user to access other PCs on the same LAN or over the Internet to extract key information. The application is highly configurable and incorporates several methods of monitoring the same information so that each user can choose the most appropriate method to meet their needs.



1. Bandwidth Monitor
The bandwidth monitor detects all connections on the system and monitors the amount of data going to and from each connection. Displaying current send speed and receive speed of each connection. The monitor also stores the amount of data into the stats database. Allowing reports to show how much data has been sent and received for the past year.

2. CPU Monitor
The CPU monitor detects the current CPU usage of the system. Also detects current speed of the CPU as well as many other facts on the CPU installed. A real time clock speed is part of the monitor to show real time current CPU speed.

3. Drives Monitor
The drives monitor detects the amount of used, and free space of a selected hard drive. Also gives detailed info for each hard drive and shows total capacity of all hard drives combined.

4. Hardware Monitor
Shows all hardware ever installed on the system that Windows has kept track of. You should see old hardware that is no longer installed but once was and not uninstalled, along with all current hardware. Also it can track any hardware that has been added or removed. It will then store the changes in the stats database for future reports.

5. IP Monitor
Monitors your internet IP and/or your local IP. When your IP changes it stores it in the stats database. Also you can enable the email feature under task monitor to email you or a group when the change of a IP address happens sending them the new IP.

6. Memory Monitor
Monitors physical memory, virtual memory, and Page File. Also shows how many physical memory chips are installed and the size of each.

7. Netstats Monitor
Only works on Windows XP, 2003. Shows all current connections on the computer, but also shows which programs are making those connections. This uses a undocumented API call that is only available from XP and above.

8. Processes Monitor
Shows all running processes and very detailed info on each running process.

9. Services monitor
Shows all services running on the system. Gives detailed info on each service.

10. Software Monitor
Monitors all current installed software. Tracks when software is installed or removed and stores the data in the stats database for reports.

11. Task Monitor
The tasks monitor will be the biggest part of the program as time moves on. Right now the tasks only do 2 things and that is email alerts when your IP address changes. In future updates more and more tasks will be added, a example would be " If this does this then do this". More will be added as per user feedback. If you would like the program to run a tasks when a certain event happens just contact us and we will add it into the program if it isn't already there.

Vista Power Max Performance/Max Battery

This is a power setting I made for vista for my customers. I have everything maxed out when running plugged in
and everything running on lowest settings when running on battery. This will work for both laptops and desktops with or without battery backups hooked up.

This also changes the button on the start menu to shutdown the computer not put it into sleep.
If your not going to use your computer for a long period turn the dang thing off! save your power bill and the earth damn it :-P

I have made it easy to install. download the zip, extract it and run the install_power.bat file, it will install and set the new power settings. Enjoy!

Show Lan Errors

Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\Connections\StatMon]
"ShowLanErrors"=dword:00000001

This networking tweak will show any errors your network may have, such as bad packets.
By having this enabled this will show you when your networking is failing due to a bad router or network card.

Ideally your errors should stay 0 if you ever have any errors its time to start finding out why!

Vista Networking Tweaks

For many of you, you may have noticed how much slower networking seems to be in vista.
Well your not the only ones. I have a gigabit network and was only getting 8mb/s transfers
and when I played any audio (I listen to music when I work) it would lower down to 1 - 2mb/s.

After doing some research it turns out Microsoft purposely lowers your network by up to 95%.
Their reason is so your audio or video doesn't skip. You can read up on it more by google'ing it.
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2007/08/27/1833290.aspx
You can only imagine peoples reactions to this of course.

Well I have done a lot of research and have found a solution to get your network running like it should.
My gigabit network is running at full speed (and guess what, my music doesn't skip :-P)

Anyway's here we go! multiple things to do here.

First off my network is with a Asus board with Nvidia networking.
This tweak I found made a big difference. I compared the driver settings in vista vs xp.
All the settings where the same except for one, "flow control" in xp this is enabled, in vista it is not.
So I turned on flow control in vista under the network card properties, and boom, my speed jumped big time.

I don't know if this a vista issue or poor drivers on nvidia's part, but at this point I don't care, changing this one setting help tons.

Now for more tweaks that are due to vista.

First off we need to remove the throttling of the network when playing music and such.

First we need to turn off the service that is throttling the network Multimedia Class Scheduler.
(If you experience any audio or video playbacks skipping just turn this service back to automatic)
open a command prompt and put in

sc config MMCSS start= disabled

Now we need to tell the audio service not to use Multimedia Class Scheduler as a dependency

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;
;Fix Audio Network Throttling
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Audiosrv]
"DependOnService"=hex(7):41,00,75,00,64,00,69,00,6f,00,45,00,6e,00,64,00,70,00,\
6f,00,69,00,6e,00,74,00,42,00,75,00,69,00,6c,00,64,00,65,00,72,00,00,00,52,\
00,70,00,63,00,53,00,73,00,00,00,00,00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now open a command prompt and we have 3 more commands to do

net config server /autodisconnect:-1
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

These are simply some more fine tuning of vistas networking, I have found these to help allot with remote desktop
and other applications.

Now reboot and try out your new network speeds :-)

Remove Windows Security Center System Tray Icon (Vista)

There maybe times you don't wish to have windows annoying the living crap out of you when you turn off windows updates or anything else the security center complains about. In Windows XP you have the power to turn off the security center by simply turning off the service. But in vista they removed that option.

So instead we have to remove, rather rename the 3 (wscapi.dll, wscsvc.dll, and wscui.cpl) files it uses to make it go away. We wont be deleting any files, just simply renaming them.

But in order to have the ability to rename the files we have to take ownership of them first. I have included a bat file to make it simple for you. I will also layout the commands to do it manually.

To start we need to open a command window. Hit your Windows key and the "R" on your keyboard, this will bring up the run command. Type in cmd and hit ok. In the command prompt put in these commands.

takeown /f %systemroot%\System32\wscapi.dll
icacls %systemroot%\System32\wscapi.dll /grant administrators:F
ren %systemroot%\System32\wscapi.dll wscapi.old
 

takeown /f %systemroot%\System32\wscsvc.dll
icacls %systemroot%\System32\wscsvc.dll /grant administrators:F
ren %systemroot%\System32\wscsvc.dll wscsvc.old
 

takeown /f %systemroot%\System32\wscui.cpl
icacls %systemroot%\System32\wscui.dll /grant administrators:F
ren %systemroot%\System32\wscui.dll wscui.old

Once done simply reboot and the security center will no longer be in your way.

As you can see what we have done is rather simple. We take ownership, then grant ourselves permissions and then simply rename the files.
Not to hard is it?

If you have any questions drop a line in the forums!

About PcWinTech

Thanks for visiting PcWinTech.com.

This site started out as a site to put my work and know how on the web to help others. The site started with a few programs and a few how-to's. As the site grew more programs came out and more information was put on the site to help users. The site covers a wide range of information of information and tools. The forums are open to help users with any kind of problem they have with their computers.

PcWinTech isn't just about one thing. But the main thing it is about is helping others and doing the best we can.
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile" - Albert Einstein

When the site started it was just me (Shane) and as it grew it was becoming harder to keep up with. So in order to keep up with things and helping people I had to take on some fellow helpers :-)

About Shane
Owner & maintainer of the site and programs.
I have been in computers since 1995 and I am mainly a Microsoft Windows guy. Its what I learned with and still keep up with and program for. I do have respect for both Linux and Apple and hope to get both of them under my belt as well. I have programmed in Visual Basic 6 since about 2000. I am currently moving to VB .Net but that is a processes so some of my apps are written in VB 6 and newer ones are written in .Net.

There is a saying I go by, when someone asks me:
"Why fix what isn't broken?" I reply "To make it better".

If people never made different types of programs we would only have one antivirus, one office suite, one operating system, one of everything. The users would have no choice.
So the programs on this site are my versions & ideas of things to do and how to do them. From system monitoring to clearing used ram to automating forwarding ports and many more tools. Users now have an extra choice to choose from.

 

Hope you enjoy the site!
-Shane
