drivermx
Note: DriverMax only works on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2003 (all service packs, both 32 bit and 64 bit versions). Driver downloads are *only* available for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP users.
DriverMax is a new tool that allows you to download the latest driver updates for your computer. No more searching for rare drivers on discs or on the web or inserting one installation CD after the other. Just create a free account, log in, and start downloading the updates that you need.
You can also export all your current drivers (or just the ones that work ok) to a folder or a compressed file. After reinstalling Windows you will have everything in one place!
Most of the situations when Windows is running slower are caused by faulty driver installations. Windows stores all versions of older drivers just in case you want to go back; sometimes it messes up older versions with more recent ones. The Export Wizard will only export the drivers you select by copying the needed files to a folder or a compressed ZIP file.
After reinstalling Windows all drivers will be back in place in less than 5 minutes - sparing you of searching, inserting disc after disk and losing precious time. The Import Drivers wizard allows you to install all the drivers that you exported earlier. The entire operation might take up to 5-10 minutes.
Just one single computer restart will be required after all drivers are reinstalled!
DriverMax is able to display a complete report of all drivers (versions, release dates) installed on your system. This feature can also be very useful when you want to analyze the differences between the drivers installed on different machines.

Setting up your VPN under Windows Vista
Setting up your VPN under Windows Vista
Setting up PublicVPN access under Windows Vista is simple. The following instructions go step–by–step through the creation process. These instructions work under all the client–side variations of Windows Vista, namely Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate.
The things to click and places to type your information are hilighted in red, yellow, green, and/or blue.
Make sure your system is up–to–date
Be sure that you run Windows Update before setting up your VPN connection.
Open the Control Panels
First, click on the Start button and click “Control Panels”. This opens up the “Control Panel Home.”
Go to the “Network and Internet” panel
Next, click on the “Network and Internet” control panel, which is circled in red below.
Set up the VPN connection
The next screen may not look quite like this if you have networks already defined. In any case, click on “Set up a connection or Network.”
Enter the server information
Now, enter the server information.
In the text box labelled ‘Internet address’ ( hilighted in blue) type ‘gateway.publicvpn.net’. This is the Internet address of the PublicVPN.com servers.
In the text box labelled ‘Destination name’ (hilighted in green) type ‘PublicVPN.com’. This is the name of the connection, and will show up in the “Connect to a network” screen when we’re done.
Lastly, make sure that the checkbox labelled “Don't connect now; just set it up so I can connect later” (hilighted in yellow) is checked.
Then click the “Next” button.
Enter your PublicVPN.com username and password
In this screen, enter your PublicVPN.com username and password. This is the same username and password that you use to log in to the PublicVPN.com website.
In the text box labelled “User name:” (hilighted in blue), enter your PublicVPN.com username.
In the text box labelled “Password:” (hilighted in yellow), enter your PublicVPN.com password.
Optionally, check the “Remember this password” checkbox (hilighted in green) and you won’t have to enter your password when you connect to PublicVPN.com.
Then, click the ”Create” button.
Connection Ready
You should see this screen next. Click the “Close” button to return to the “Network and Internet” screen.
Select the connection properties
In the “Connect to a network” screen, you should see the PublicVPN.com connection that we set just up. Right–click on the PublicVPN.com connection document (circled in red), and choose “Properties” (circled in green) from the menu.
Deselect domain logon
In the “Options” tab, make sure the checkbox labelled “Include Windows logon domain” (hilighted in green) is unchecked.
Then click the “PPP Settings…” button (hilighted in red).
PPP options
In the “PPP Settings” dialog box, make sure the settings look like the ones in the picture below, then click the “OK” button (hilighted in red).
Security tab settings
Make sure the security tab has the same settings as here. Then click the “Networking” tab, hilighted in red below.
Neworking settings
This screen shows you the network settings. You may have different items in your list. In the list of items that you see, make sure that only the “Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)” and “Client for Microsoft Networks” items are checked. If oher protcols are checked, uncheck them by clicking on the checkbox (the thing that looks like a ‘√’).
PublicVPN.com currently does not route anything except TCP/IP version 4.
Set TCP/IP v4 Properties
Now, click on the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” item in the list (hilighted in green) and click the “Properties” button (hilighted in red).
Set VPN DNS
Next, set the VPN connection’s DNS server to the PublicVPN.com DNS server. Click the “Use the following DNS server addresses” radio buton in the property window (hilighted in green) and type the PublicVPN.com DNS server address in the “Preferred DNS server” text area. The PublicVPN.com DNS server is: 172.31.0.1. Then click the “OK” button.
Done with basic setup!
You’re now done with your basic setup! You've set up your PublicVPN.com connection to use PPTP. Click “OK” to finish now, if you want.
However, for better security we recommend that you configure your VPN connection to use an L2TP/IPsec connection, which is more secure. To do this, keep reading.
Setting up L2TP/IPsec
In the “PublicVPN.com Properties”, click on the “Type of VPN” pop–up menu (hilighted in red) and select “L2TP/IPsec”.
Set the Preshared Key
In the “IPsec Settings” dialog, click the radio button labelled “Use preshared key for authentication” (hilighted in green). Then type ‘publicvpn.net’ into the textbox labelled “Key” (hilighted in blue). Then click the “OK” button (hilighted in red).
Set the connection location
The first time you connect to PublicVPN.com, you might see a screen like this one. Windows is asking you if you want to automatically connect to PublicVPN.com whenever you’re at a given location. If you want to connect to PublicVPN.com automatically when you’re at a public hotspot, click “Public location.”
However, you probably should click ”Cancel”, because most public locations require you to click through an agreement before you can access the Internet — meaning that any connection you attempt will fail. Instead, you should just connect manually.
Connecting to PublicVPN.com
To connect to PublicVPN.com, go to the Start buton and click “Connect To”.
Then click on the PublicVPN.com entry and click “Connect”.
Set Up Remote Desktop Web Connection with Windows XP
Set Up Remote Desktop Web Connection with Windows XP

You don't have to carry a laptop to have your computer available wherever you go, because Windows XP Professional includes Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop gives you complete control over your computer from across a network and over the Internet. However, Remote Desktop requires software to be installed on the system you're connecting from. Unfortunately, it's often impossible to install the software on a system, such as when you're at an Internet café, a friend's house, or using a client's computer.
The solution is to use Remote Desktop Web Connection, which loads the Remote Desktop client within a browser. The Remote Desktop Web Connection is a perfect solution for connecting to your home or office PC when you can't install the Remote Desktop client software on a computer. By pointing a browser that supports ActiveX controls at a host computer running Windows XP Professional, you can access your remote desktop over the Internet.
Get Your Host Computer Ready
The Remote Desktop feature is only available in Windows XP Professional. It's not included with Windows XP Home Edition. For more information about how Remote Desktop Web Connection works, see About Remote Desktop Web Connection.
The first step in enabling Remote Desktop Web Connection is to install the necessary software on the host computer. Remote Desktop Web Connection is an optional World Wide Web Service component of Internet Information Services (IIS), which is included by default in Windows XP Professional. IIS responds to requests from a Web browser. Have your Windows XP Professional CD handy, and follow these steps:
1. | Open Control Panel click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components. |
2. | Click Internet Information Services, and then click Details. |
3. | In the Subcomponents of Internet Information Services list, click World Wide Web Service, and then click Details. |
4. | In the Subcomponents of World Wide Web Service list, select the Remote Desktop Web Connection check box, and then click OK. |
5. | In the Windows Components Wizard, click Next. Click Finish when the wizard has completed. |
6. | Click the Start button and click Run. Type Net Stop w3svc, and click OK. This temporarily stops the World Wide Web service to keep your system safe while you update it with security patches. |
Enabling IIS without installing the appropriate security patches can make your system vulnerable to intruders. For more information, read Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-018 and Security and Privacy for Home Users.
To check for updates:
1. | Click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft Update, and then click Scan for updates. Follow the prompts to install all critical updates. If prompted, restart your computer. |
2. | Click Start, and then click Run. Type Net Start w3svc, and click OK. This starts the World Wide Web service. |
I highly recommend using Automatic Updates, especially after installing Internet Information Services.
Configure Internet Information Services
By default, IIS is identified on your computer by the TCP port number 80. The steps in this section change the TCP port number and make it much more difficult for a potential attacker to communicate with your computer. The steps in this section are optional, but if you do follow them, you'll dramatically improve the security of your system. If you are already using your computer as a Web server, you should leave the TCP port number at the default setting of 80.
1. | Open Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Administrative Tools. Double-click Internet Information Services. |
2. | In the ISS snap-in, expand your computer name, expand Web Sites, right-click Default Web Site, and then click Properties. |
3. | On the Web Site tab, change the value for TCP Port. Enter a number between 1000 and 65535 that you can remember easily, such as the month and day of a birthday or anniversary. You'll need to know the TCP Port when you connect to the computer in the future. |
4. | Click OK, and close the Internet Information Services snap-in. |
Configure Remote Desktop
To connect using Remote Desktop, you must have a user account with a password. If you don't yet have a password on your account, create a password by opening Control Panel, and clicking User Accounts. Click your account, click Create a password, and follow the prompts. After you have a password, follow these steps to enable Remote Desktop:
1. | Right-click My Computer, and click Properties. |
2. | On the Remote tab, click the Allow users to connect remotely to this computer check box, as shown in Figure 1.  Figure 1: Enabling remote desktop |
3. | Click Select Remote Users, and then click Add. |
4. | In the Select Users dialog box, type the name of the user and then click OK. Click OK again to return to the System Properties dialog box, and then click OK to close it. |
Configure Your Router
If you use a router to connect to the Internet, you probably need to configure it to allow the Remote Desktop connection to your computer. For more information on routers and firewalls, see my Internet Firewalls column. You need to forward two ports to your Windows XP Professional-based computer: TCP port 3389, which Remote Desktop requires, and the port you specified in the TCP Port field in Internet Information Services (or TCP port 80 if you did not change the default). If you use Internet Connection Firewall (and you should!), see How to Manually Open Ports in Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP for instructions on allowing traffic by TCP port.
Connect to Your Desktop
Computers are identified on the Internet using a unique IP address. To connect to your home computer from the Internet, you'll need to know your home IP address. Visit one of these sites from your home computer to learn your IP address: What Is My IP, What Is My IP.com, or Atlantic PC Solutions. Your IP address may change occasionally, so always check your IP address before you plan to connect. When you're ready to connect to your host computer, follow these steps:
1. | Open Internet Explorer, and enter the URL http://ipaddress:port/tsweb/. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.1.120, and you chose the TCP Port 1374, you would enter the URL http://192.168.1.120:1374/tsweb/. |
2. | If you're prompted to install the Remote Desktop ActiveX control, click Yes. |
3. | On the Remote Desktop Web Connection page, shown in Figure 2, click Connect. You don't need to fill in the Server field. If you leave the Size field set to Full-screen, the remote desktop will take over your local desktop.  Figure 2: Remote Desktop Web Connection page |
4. | Enter your user name and password at the Windows logon prompt, as shown in Figure 3, and then click OK. You'll see your desktop, complete with any windows that were left open the last time you used the computer.  Figure 3: The Remote Desktop Web Connection logon screen |
When you're done, disconnect by closing the browser, or clicking the X at the top of the screen in full-screen mode. Be sure to close all browser windows. Your user name and password aren't stored, so you don't have to worry about someone else accessing your system.
If you're Internet-savvy and plan to connect to your home computer regularly, you can get a domain name to save yourself the trouble of writing down your IP address every time you plan to connect to your computer. You're already familiar with domain names; they're the ".com" names Web sites use to identify themselves. For example, the domain name for this Web site is Microsoft.com. If you have your own domain name, you can enter that into a browser to connect to your home computer, instead of the unfriendly IP address. For information on getting your own domain name and associating it with your home computer, visit the Dynamic DNS Providers List.
If you have Windows XP Professional and an always-on Internet connection, you can securely access your applications and data from work, an Internet café, or any place that has a compatible Web browser. Getting Remote Desktop Web Connection set up takes more than one click, but it's definitely easier than lugging your computer everywhere.
