Q06:
I am worried that PC Booster will stuff up my Windows settings.
PC Booster has a safe fall-back feature. It does a backup of your
current system configurations before allowing you to change anything.
So if you are not happy with the tune up results or tweaks that you have
altered youself, you can always select the restore function and everything
will be back to normal.

Q07:
I am experiencing problems shutting down my computer.
This is due to the fast shut down
option under the 'shut down' section
in the manual tweaks.
The cause is due to some computer hardware compatibility that is not
able to handle the fast shutdown and will treat it as if it is
restarting.
To remedy, click on the manual tweak
icon, go to the shutdown
section. Uncheck the
item fast shutdown.
NOTE: This
is not a bug with PC Booster but is part of a feature for Windows. Windows
disable fast shutdown on default installations but we allow
it for selection to get reduced
shutdown time.

Q08:
I have changed some values for MTU, memory cache size, stack size, etc,
but they always show as zero?
Some settings don't show up
after being entered such as cd speed, mtu, ttl settings, etc. this
is design by default but rest assured that when you press optimize
the changes are applied to the registry. This design is to avoid
competitors from finding out the values.

Q12: The text is being cut off from the screen / The font is
too big. What should I do?
The
oversized text is because you have set some of the Windows font size to
a bigger size, currently PC Booster is not able to enlarge so the text
will cover some of the buttons or get chopped off.
One solution is to reduce the Windows Font size which should make the
text fit into the window properly.
The exact way to solve this step would be:
- Click on Start
- Select Settings
- Click Control Panel
- Double click on Display
- Click on the Settings tab
- Click on the Advanced button
- A new pop up dialog will be displayed. You
should see the option for General.
- Under Display you can select Font Size.
Select "Small Fonts" (96 DPI). Click "OK". You can now read all the
text in PC Booster.
