Conflict Catcher 3 - Sets the Industry Standard in Startup file Management and Conflict Identification
This demonstration version of Conflict Catcher 3 will expire after 72 hours. We hope you enjoy the demonstration of this exciting new version of Conflict Catcher.
- Solves your Macintosh startup file problems - crashes, frozen screens, printing problems and more.
- Puts you in control of your Startup software to save memory, time and future trouble with your Macintosh .
Startup files are programs that load when you turn on your Macintosh and whose icons you see across the bottom of your screen. Conflict Catcher 3 can help identify those icons and tell you exactly what many of them do.
Some of Conflict Catcher 3's Features
View Info feature - gives you a description of many Startup files, including version numbers, a description of the file's purpose, creation and modification dates, memory allocated/used etc. Users can even add their own file descriptions to individual startup files.
Create sets of Startup files which load only when you need them. Disable files not in use to save memory. Sets can be activated by holding down a key at startup, or based on Powerbook battery and docked conditions.
Network administrators can configure the installation disk to install customized descriptions of startup files as well as pre-configured sets and preference settings.
Conflict Catcher 3's Finder menu allows quick and easy access to Conflict Catcher and its sets.
Displays the name of each Startup file as they load during startup.
Create detailed system reports on hardware and software that any technical support might need. Saves you hours of startup file troubleshooting!
Links - Groups Startup files that must always run together or must never run together. Forced order links lets you specify the order in which startup files will load which can solve some conflicts.
Preferences: Determine which files will be managed, Color code files, Scan for damaged files and much more.
Recognizes and manages many types of files, including Extensions, Control Panels, System Folder extensions, Fonts, Apple Menu Items, and much more.
Sort and view your Startup files by date installed, kind, load order, memory use, and many other criteria.
Color code your Startup files for easier/quicker viewing.
Shortcut keys during startup to quickly get to the Finder, Restart, Shutdown, or Pause the startup process.
Power Macintosh Users:
Startup files can significantly affect the performance of Native applications on a Power Macintosh. Conflict Catcher 3 is Power Macintosh Native and can analyze your startup files and point out traps that patch native system code with non-native code and could be slowing down Native applications on your Power Macintosh. With this knowledge you can then create a set of startup files which do not slow down Native applications.
Conflict Catching:
- Tests for conflicts which can appear anytime, not just at startup.
- Tests for existing software on your Macintosh; does not rely on limited databases that need constant updating.
- Intuition feature allows you to guess which startup files you think may be causing your problems and tests them first, saving time.
- Conflict Test can be saved and resumed at a later date.
- Scans for Damaged Startup files.
- Automatic reordering: where conflicts between multiple Startup files occur, Conflict Catcher will test their load order to see if this will resolve the problem.
Requires System 7 or Later.
Suggested retail price: $99.95. Upgrades are available through mail-order companies, retailers, and directly through Casady & Greene.
