Software Update: jv16 PowerTools 2007 1.7.0.420

Macecraft Software today updated jv16 PowerTools to version 1.7.0.420. This program is intended to fine-tune all kinds of things within Windows. For example, there are modules to determine which programs are started when Windows boots and you can search for duplicate files. Furthermore, the registry can be cleaned of unnecessary keys and then made smaller. In this release, support for the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista has been improved, among other things, and some adjustments have been made that make working from a portable medium, such as a CD or USB stick, better. The full changelog of this release looks like this:

• Improved compatibility with 64 bit Windows Vista. The compatibility is not yet perfect but the product should now fully work on most 64 bit Vista installations.
