keeping ATI tool overclock?
- Thread starter Teknokid
- Start date
In Settings, on the startup tab is a little box marked "Every time ATITool is launched, load profile:" With a box underneath so you can select the profile you want.
So assuming that on the first page you have saved the profile you like you can set it up to run whenever ATITool starts... And assuming that you have ATITool set to start when Windows starts... Assuming you're not using Vista and have it blocked by Defender...

Which is ultra annoying BTW... but it does let me load the settings I want when I actually start the game, and keep the fan down in noise until I load it.
But that's just me making excuses as to why it's ok for that to happen.
It doesn't work in startup folder or as a registry item. Ugh.
There's some guide to let startup applications run without being blocked, but it seems like a whole lot of trouble for something i told my computer it was ok for it to do... Vista, CURSE YOU!! (actually it's my only gripe... but meh.)
Ah, piece of cake to fix. Set it up to run after you log on in Task Scheduler.
It takes maybe twenty clicks...
Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler > Continue > Create Task > [type in a name] > Run with highest privileges > Triggers > New > At log on > OK > Actions > New > Browse > c:\Program Files\ATITool\ATITool.exe > Open > [Add Argument '-hide'] > OK > Settings > Unselect "Stop the task..." > OK
You might play with some of the options, but that's it.
For some silly reason like heightened security, Vista doesn't let apps start with windows with admin privileges. So until W1zz updates the code we've got to find ways to beat Vista into submission.

That was seriously about 20 clicks too many just to make something run on startup without giving me sass.
At least it worked; thanks for that.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure where I stand on UAC yet. It seems a little hyper whenever I'm really trying to tweak, but I understand what MS tried to do with it.
The real problem is that it's at its most insane right when people are getting used to the new OS. It gives a terrible first impression. I like Vista, once you make it through the first couple of days and UAC settles down.
I've learned how to live with it, and why some programs trigger it and how MS has been guiding developers in this direction for a few years now, but it's still a pain in the ass right at first.

I still think 4-5 clicks to install a component dll into the foobar2000 directory is a bit much... and having to run winrar with admin rights to unrar to those directories? kinda lame...
