How to Play Latest Games without a Graphics Card

Most of the latest games released to day needs a powerful graphics card in order to run properly. As PC components have become very cheaper most of the computer users today will buy a graphics card together with their new pc. But many people who have bought their PC’s some years back will not be able to invest in for a new graphics card; most probably their mother boards wont support it. So if they need to play the latest games the only choice is to invest in a new mother board and graphics card. The same is my case too. But there is some outstanding news for you guys. Yes you can now play these graphics intensive games without a graphics card! Read it again to get the full impact……
When you try to run graphics demanding games like Farcry etc. you will be met with errors like Pixel Shader 2.0 not supported, graphics card not supported like that. So here comes a software that can use the power of the Central Processing Unit; the CPU for these purposes. It will emulate the CPU to do the work of the graphics card, there by enabling old pc users to play latest games on their pc.
3d analyze is a Graphics Card Emulator that can emulate all the feature of a 3d graphics card like pixel shader 1.1, 1.4, 2.0, bump maps and many other features.
You need not worry when a game stops working on your system, 3D Analyze will come to your rescue. This software is very useful to people whose graphics requirements are higher than the configuration that they have now.
3D analyzer can simulate options like TnL caps,Enable Pixel shader 1.4,etc.
It additionally allows you to simulate your graphics card.

How you can use 3D analyzer to Run/ Play the new Games on your PC

1. Download the latest version of 3D Analyzer from here.
2. Now you need to extract the files to a folder by running the file you have just downloaded. Now Run 3DAnalyze.exe file.

3. Press “SELECT” button, locate and open the main executable program of the game. You need the select the main executable file itself not the shortcut i.e the select the executable file of the game from the directory where it is installed on.
4. Emulating missing hardware features with 3D-Analyze:If your graphics card features won’t support DirectX based favourite game’s minimal system requirements – then look for the corresponding reference on game box or in the game readme.txt file and simulate those settings by “moving” your graphics card into minimal category if necessary. Here are some of the main 3D-Analyze settings to check if you want emulate a DirectX version starting from previous one.

5. The VendorID and DeviceID boxe’s could be useful if the game doesn’t work again and it showa error message saying unsupported Video Card / Graphcs Card.It could emulate both the video cards of that NVidia or AMD Radeon.

6. Filling up these blank fields with values written in group box saying DirectX Device ID’s, it will compel your game to use your video card like a different one.So if you want to your graphic’s card to be of that of Nvidia just change the DeviceID from 0 to 1 thats all.

7. Finally Press the “RUN” button, to start the game; it is not guaranteed that you will get the exact performance that you could get on using a real graphics card!. But, higher success chances are of that from DirectX. Atleast you could play the games which wished to play before on your PC

How to Secure Internet Explorer

A fair amount of people still loves the default browser in windows ie. Internet Explorer. The browser is the most targeted one by malicious users. But its said that this is mainly due to the insecurity of the browser. Here are a few things you could do to secure internet explorer browser.

There are four security zone settings in internet explorer. In the case of normal usage,  the settings coming under the Standard Internet Zone will be used unless the sites are listed in the trusted sites or restricted sites zones.

To get to the Internet Options go to Tools > Internet Options from the main menu and navigate to the Security Tab.

Now increase the security level by moving the sliding bar upwards based on the requirement you need. For eg, if the pc is intended for public use, its more wise to set the security settings to high or medium level.
Setting the slider to high level might prevent some sites from loading and some features on sites get disabled. And there’s always the Trusted Sites list where you could add those frequently used sites.

This will ensure that all the features of the sites you visit would be available irrespective of the security level you set.
Users with some expertise could go for the custom settings. If you have deep knowledge regarding web technologies or if you could find out what a particular setting does, then this one is the best option to go for. You bump up the security and disable unwanted features as well.

Manage Multiple Remote Desktop Connections

If you are a professional computer troubleshooter or networking expert, then there is a good chance you manage multiple remote connections to or via your computer. Remote Desktop Sharing within Windows leaves a lot to be desired particularly when it comes to more than one remote network. On the web there are tools available that help you manage more than one remote desktop connections; however their list of features is perhaps a little too rich and in their complexity, they become less user friendly.
A competent alternative to all such programs is UltraRDC.

The developer of this program faced a similar situation like yours. He even mentions it in the program’s introduction:
“If you’re like me, you spend a lot of your day with a multitude of terminal services windows open to the machines that you’re setting up, fixing, etc. There are a few apps out there geared towards managing these windows and connections but, at least to me, they tried to do too much. I really needed something to just display my windows in a tabbed interface and, other than that, stay out of my way.”
With that aim in mind, the developer took the help of Weifen Luo’s excellent DockPanel Suite and was able to apply a Visual Studio look and feel to his program, with tabs for each terminal services window and an auto-hiding pane for favorites and history.

The entire program is designed to be user friendly and makes it easier to add new remote connections and connect to them through simple mouse clicks.

Windows 7 features including support for tabbed thumbnails, Aero peek, and jump lists are also supported by UltraRDC.
UltraRDC is a 1.6 MB setup file to download, is compatible with Windows operating systems, and can be gotten from HERE.
