Alright, so I'm thinking of overclocking my video card. It's a 3DFuzion NVIDIA GeForce FX5500 PCI 256MB video card. I got it for pretty cheap, but that's not the point lol. So, I downloaded CoolBits 2.0 (registry file) from Guru3d.com and added the registry file to the registry. After that, I right click desktop and go to properties >> settings >> advanced >> GeForce FX5500 and I SHOULD see all these tweaks and stuff on the left side of the screen.. but all I see is "Launch Page" and "Control Panel User Interface". I don't think it's the registry file because I downloaded like a million (not literally) and tried em, still didn't work. I also tried RivaTuner but didn't like it much but it's still installed. Is my video card even able to overclock? Because I have seen some talk about overclocking the same video card as me.. soo, I dunno lol? I think it could be the registry file isn't being added correctly or something is not right in regedit, but I'm not an expert so I'm asking you guys.. lol
