What is the ClearType Tuner?

I wondered about the ClearType tuner. I've been on the Microsoft typography Web site and it asked me to adjust my Cleartype settings. I was wondering if ClearType is automatically granted? If I tune, will it screw up anything? I am currently using the default values for cleartype, which came with my computer and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to change anything. Also, I use Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 64-bit and use a 1600 x 900 screen. I use a laptop by the way. In any case, thank you for your time and your support.

Hi Inachtigal,

I'm using the default settings for cleartype. Change the settings for cleartype is a bit like going to the optician. Everything you do basically shows two sets of characters and selection that looks like the clear/more sharper of the two. I already wear glasses, and, for me, in any case, the default settings appear to be the sharpest. If you change the got or not is a personal choice. If the text seems clear and strong as it is while you may as well leave things as they are. As the proverb goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

  • ClearType Tuner can't save all settings

    Hi, I noticed that ClearType Tuner does not save the changes you made in steps 3 or 4. In order to develop, I can successfully launches the tuner and make changes on all four screens, but if I run it again later, only the first two screens will keep my changes. Steps 3 and 4 will be reset to their default positions (left box and middle box superior respectively.) I've seen this question before but have not yet heard of a solution. So is there any sort of work around or fix for this bug? What is still unanswered?

    Thank you

    What type of TV Tuner with a Toshiba Satellite do I and can I download one for free from the internet.

    A TV Tuner is material, so it can not be downloaded - you can buy one in a store.

    If you have a laptop, you can buy a USB TV tuner.

    This is one of the many that you can use:

  • Windows Media Center "to listen or look at a conflict"... does not recognize the TV tuner

    I have completely exhausted the forum Windows Media Center for response to the resolution of this problem. I replaced my unit ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Ready, as well as my graphics card tuner, and WMC still says 'No TV Tuner Found"and the message" listen or look at a conflict - no tuner available to meet the current demand "when I try to watch live TV. I have also a "no tuner hardware detected... Please ensure equipment is installed correctly...» "if I try to set up the TV Tuner again.

    I don't think that my answer lies in Windows Media Center or hardware from ATI. I'm now trying to figure out if it involves this feature installed at the factory of HP listed on the bottom of my computer: "GENUINE WINDOWS VISTA HOME Premium TUNER DIGITAL". I understand that it is the software and hardware.

    I would be grateful if anyone has answers. If anyone knows what this function is that was installed at the factory, and how I can uninstall and reinstall the software and replace the hardware, I understand that too.

    Thank you

    After unsuccessfully trying everything I could find that had the potential to solve my problem, I finally solved the problem myself.

    It's actually a corrupted Windows file that allows my TV tuner, which caused all my problems. I reinstalled my Vista operating system to its original state, and now the ATI TV tuner works fine. Easier said than done.

  • Qosmio G30-195 - I can remove the TV Tuner?

    My laptop G30 - 195 (Russia), I have the very unusual hardware problem, it's a long job history and it is now. I live out of civilization and there is no center of computer repair around, I have some it skills and difficulty to what I can of my self

    I want to remove unnecessary hardware - tv tuner, never use + it is takes tones of the interior space + aggressive heating because of a little grilled isolation looks around.

    Is it safe to remove it?
    Thank you

    Hello!

    I think that akuma is right that you can remove the TV Tuner, but it's a little tricky because must disassemble the laptop. That is why a lot of screws must be removed, and in my view it should be done by a technician of the laptop.

    But what you can do is turn off the TV Tuner in If Device Manager you use it n t. The same thing that you can do with other devices you n t need, for example, the LAN or FireWire.
    Check it!

    Normally, the TV Tuner doesn't produce a lot of heat. If your laptop is overheating, you should try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
    Here is an article on cleaning of your laptop to reduce temperatures from Toshiba:

  • What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

    Hi all

    I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

  • Our time capsule will blink a light amber and utilities said that it is overheating. What is the problem?

    We had a problem with our (less than 2 years) time capsule - the light yellow flashing, the fan runs often and looking in "utility" on my mac, it says that it is overheating. What is the cause of this?

    The Time Capsule fan runs constantly, so you shouldn't be aware of the fan running on the time Capsule 'often'.

    If you receive a message that the Time Capsule is overheating, there is probably a problem with the internal power supply on the Time Capsule.

    If you have an Apple Store near you, it would be wise to take the time Capsule to let the experts check the issue and discuss your options.

  • What is the minimum size Flash DRIVE bootable installation of Sierra?

    When you make a bootable installation of Sierra, what is the minimum size of USB that is required?

    8 or 16GBs.

    Installers for OS X Mavericks to Sierra bootable USB

    First, review this introductory article: creating a Setup program bootable OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support. Second, see this diagram how to create an El Capitan bootable Installer. Just replace the Terminal command with that of the previous article by copying it in the Terminal window.

    You will need a 8 GB or more flash disk USB that has been partitioned and formatted for use with OS X.

    Drive partition and format

    1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
    2. After disk utility charges select the drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side.
    3. Click clear in the utility disc toolbar. Name of the player, "MyVolume". <-IMPORTANT!
    4. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    5. Click apply and wait for the done button to activate it. When it click on it.
    6. Quit disk utility.

    Create the installation program

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Choose according to the command line appropriate (in red) on the OS X installer you want. Paste this entire command line by underneath at the Terminal prompt:

    Order for macOS Sierra:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyV--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app

    Order for El Capitan:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyVolume--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app X\ X\

    Order for Yosemite:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyVolume--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app X\ X\

    Control of Mavericks:

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/MyVolume--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Mavericks.app X\ X\

    Press RETURN. You will be asked your admin password. It won't echo on the Terminal window. Press RETURN again. Wait for the prompt to the Terminal, meaning that the process is complete. It takes a while to complete. Be patient.
