Description
-----------
Maxus SE is a small multi-functional tool designed to improve
your Windows and Internet experience. It actually comprises
several utilities listed below. The first is a powerful built-in
dial-up connections manager that enables you to establish Internet
connections using any account existing in your system, schedule
your computer to automatically connect to your ISP and disconnect
at the specified time, restore broken connections, terminate the
connection when it is not used or emulate network activity to
prevent breaking the connection by your ISP. A traffic monitor
is also included, which displays the real-time graph of bandwidth usage.
The hotkeys manager lets you assign custom keyboard shortcuts to
some of the routine Windows tasks (such as restarting the system),
start various applications using the hotkeys and even open and
close the CD-ROM tray by pressing keys on your keyboard.
Maxus SE also features a skinnable desktop clock that can display
the current time, the time passed since the last reboot or the
duration of the current Internet connection; the clock also supports
voiced time spelling in multiple languages and can synchronize
system time with the highest precision atomic clock servers via Internet.
Powerful system resources monitor constantly displays the amount of
free system resources, the usage of physical RAM and virtual memory
and the CPU load. Maxus SE also integrates with a popular freeware
utility Motherboard Monitor providing for the ability to constantly
monitor motherboard, CPU and hard drives temperatures. The last but
not least important tool is a flexible scheduler with customizable
visual and sound alarms and ability to launch certain applications
or open documents at the specified time. Notwithstanding all the
variety of the programÆs capabilities, it is very intuitive and
easy to use. All features are controlled via well-structured
context menus and there is no learning curve in using Maxus SE
even for the least experienced users.
Installation
------------
Important! If you've got Maxus not from our web page, but from
the other source (magazine CD or some software library), please
visit our home page - you'll probably find the later version;
usually, we release the updates about once a month.
We recommend you to uninstall the previous version of Maxus (if you
have one) from your computer before installing this one. You can do
this via "Add/Remove Programs" from Control Panel. If you'll get the
notification that the Maxus folder is not empty, be careful when removing it:
folder may contain files of data base and also files with statistics (inetst.dat,
stbase.dat) that can be useful for you.
To install Maxus, just run the "setup.exe" and follow the
instructions.
