Freeware or Open Source Programs/Applications

Linux. It's an operating system, not application. But still it is Open Source.

You won't get this out of nothing while working on major mod right before you save huge progress.

Actually, blue screens are most of the time caused by faulty hardware, and in rare cases by faulty drivers. In this case I'd do a backup copy of most important data, check your hard drive and expect imminent failure.

I think it was the driver issue this time, because I was fiddling with mounting ext4 partition to put the stuff there.

I just remembered. There is this one Program, that allows you to change your brightness on the Fly.. Even though I haven't used it much but it has its own source in it..

QuickGamma 0.1.1 w/ Source

I can't remember why the author gave up on it, but eh.. It still works.. not sure for Windows Vista and up though, but it should.

OBS is good but it doesn't run on Laptops. Like it literally says "You have a laptop? mmmm sorry man can't let you do that"

Why would a software have a specific form factor requirement? That's outrageously ridiculous if this is actually true, but looking over the site - I don't see anything relating to this....

Last time I booted it up it said something about DirectX and GPU and not working for Laptops. I don't Know could be my laptop being lame but it was weird. I guess it needed a certain DirectX that Laptops can't run? That was a while back so I'm not sure what its like now.

Prevent eyestrain at night, and possibly avoid insomnia.
Hotkeys Alt+PageUp and Alt+PageDown dims (or brightens) the screen.

Can be temporarily disabled before doing color sensitive picture/photo editing, and has a less severe "movie mode".

There is also Minimizor That I use every day. All it does, is Minimize and Maximize the game. Saves the trouble of alt-tabbing. It works with any games that have DirectX or OpenGL render. It even works on Zan just fine.

Just remember when it does start up, you will see its icon in the taskbar. Right Click on it and click on Options. Set a hot key, and your set. There are other settings like.. restore Gamma, Windows Default Gamma, which is useful for when Zan crashes out. Its a pretty nice program.

There are other projects on the Site. Not sure if the guy who created this is still working on it, but its nice to have.
