RTSS was downloaded onto my PC a couple years ago with help from @puzzleaddict. Since RTSS has been updated, I downloaded it yesterday but can't open its install and run its program. I know its a simple fix but can't remember how I did it. Can anyone help?
@tsanhae What happens when you try to install RTSS? If you get an error, please post a screenshot. And for reference, one of the simple fixes has always been to restart your computer after installing RTSS and before trying to use it.
I downloaded RTSS but don't remember how to extract it. I double-clicked it instead of extracting it, and now no longer have the option to extract. So figured I'd just delete it and start over with downloading (already deleted it from downloads but don't know where else it may be on my PC). I need to know how to extract it after downloading it. When trying to delete its folder from desktop, this error pops up: "Deleting an online-only folder permanently removes it from your PC without sending it to the recycle bin.....want to continue?" (File size of this error says it is too large to attach here on EA help).
@tsanhae It sounds like you moved the RTSS download to a location that OneDrive is syncing, for example perhaps the Desktop, which is one of the folders OneDrive syncs by default. That's fine, delete it anyway, and download a new copy. This time, right-click and Extract, then run the installer from there without moving it to the desktop or anywhere else.
If RTSS were already installed, and you tried to install it again, you'd get a message to that effect.
I deleted and downloaded again from the RTSS site. From the download window that pops open and says: C:\Users\(my name)\Downloads\[Guru3D.com]-RTSS ⚽.zip\, a right-click does not give the option to extract, but there is an icon at the top of the downloads box that says extract with a blue line above it so I click that. Then a box pops open saying: Copy to C;\Users\(my name)\Downloads\.......and here I have to click "ok" to copy it, so I do. After that it shows up as a zip yellow folder in my downloads history on my PC. I right click on that, and there it does give me the option to extract here so I do. The RTSSSetup736 "application" shows as listed . Now whether I highlight this "application" then double-click it or right-click on it, its installer window pops open and it asks me whether I want to allow this app to make changes to my computer and I say "yes." Then the installer/set up box pops open and I proceed to install until it says: "The same version of RTSS is already installed, do you want to continue installation anyway?" and I say no because I've done this many times already now. Can you tell me where I'm going wrong please?
@tsanhae RTSS is already installed, so you don't need to do anything except open it. If you're not sure where you installed it, it's probably in Program Files, but you can search in Windows for RivaTuner. Then just double-click the executable, which will be the file with a special logo.
Once you've found it, you can drag the icon to the Task Bar, which will create a shortcut you can use to launch it. Or right-click the icon and select Send to > Desktop, which will also create an alias.
