Clean uninstall of the ATI Catalyst Control Center (CCC)

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 22:13

This was passed along to me from ATI to solve a recent CCC issue I had. The CCC won't load, but this did resolve the issue.

"Suggested steps for clean uninstall of CCC:
1. Check registry location to be empty.
a. HKCU/Software/ATI/ACE
b. HKLM/Software/ATI/ACE

2. Check (Program Files folder )/ATI Technologies/ATI.ACE to be empty

3. Check (Windows folder)/Assembly to see if there's any files with Public Key Token of "90ba9c70f846762e". Sort by Public key token to get a easier view. All these should be uninstalled by right click and uninstall.

How To Kill Yourself Slowly!

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Fri, 01/29/2010 - 11:17

There's no doubt that the food/drink we are ingesting is killing us. Good thing I don't eat to much prepared foods. Yes, I cook real food, with pots and pans and yes it takes time.... LOL. Cooking isn't that hard, it's just takes a little nohow and time. Your body will thank you for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm no health nut, but I do eat healthy for the most part and exercise.

Keep reading... I dare you...

What Mobile Phone Do You Own?

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Sun, 01/03/2010 - 20:42

I'm personally still using a Sony W580i phone, but I'm hoping to upgrade to something newer this year. Maybe one of those upcoming dual-core CPU smartphones.

What's New At RodneyReynolds.com

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 10:07

I had several changes I wanted to implement and Zach (http://www.zachjeffers.com/) helped make them a reality. I wish he lived closed because he's 3 hours behind me and that means I'm up all hours. It was 3AM before I went to bed last night. Now, I'm unusually up late doing work, but not that late. I need my beauty sleep ya know! Zach, please move to -5GMT ;) LOL

Below is a list of the updates, we hope you like them;

1. Forum now has correct formatting. So there's spaces where there weren't any before. This will make it much easier to read.

Are You Down With Contests/Giveaways?

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Sat, 11/28/2009 - 19:19

With almost 500 forum members already, after 1000 I'm considering having Giveaways. As some of you are aware I have many Contests/Giveaways on www.3dGameMan.com, but this would be completely separate. It would still be computer products though, which makes sense considering that's the focus of the site.

The contest/giveaway rules and such I haven't really thought about much, but they will be interesting. Maybe create a video parody of me or answer a question I have for you. Whatever it is, it will be fun, creative and interesting.

Fix For Sony Vegas Crashing While Rendering/Editing

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Wed, 11/25/2009 - 20:33

If you are having issues rendering or editing in Sony Vegas Video Editing software (Pro or Studio), this might resolve the issue until Sony resolves this with a patch. I know it did for me. As a side note, Vegas 9c Pro fixes a lot of compatibility and stability issues.

KompoZer Web Editor (Free like the wind!)

Submitted by Rodney Reynolds on Sat, 11/21/2009 - 21:04

For basic and complicated HTML and more, KompoZer might be for you. Ok... that sounded like a sales pitch, but it's not because it's free. And no, I don't have ties to this company other than I use their software. I've been using it for a while and it does everything that I need. I don't do anything complicate, but still! Not bad, and I mean that is a extraordinary way, for a web editor that's free. I just thought I'd share this with everyone, in case some of you are looking for a decent editor. Enjoy! Don't be a hoser eh!, get KompoZer: http://kompozer.net/
