Hello,
Was wondering if anyone knows of any free process stoppers that might improve performance?
Regards,
Tom
Hi Tom,
Yes, these can make a real difference to your frame rate for FS9 or any other processor intensive app such as games. I personally use the freeware program "EndItAll2" (you can get it here http://www.all-freeware.com/EndItAll2.htm or lots of other locations - try a Google search if this link doesn't work for you). I have used it on XP and XP64 bit with no issues and typically see about a 10% improvement in performance.
Very easy to use, although it only allows you to save one set of settings, i.e. you can't have different profiles for what should be stopped for different scenarios.
There is also "FSAutostart" available at Avsim (free login required) http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004util&DLID=57040. Not used this myself, but as well as the ability to stop programs and services like EndItAll2 it can also be configured to launch specified applications before FS which might be useful if you fly with add-on programmes that need to be started seperately. Also claims to include a memory defragmenter and the abililty to restart the stopped programs and services to bring your computer back to it's original state when you leave FS. In fact it sounds so good I think I'll give it a go myself tonight!!!
Hope that helps.
Stuart
Hiya,
Thanks a lot for the site will check it out this minute thanks again for all your help.
No problem mate - if you do use "FSAutostart" can you let us know if it's any good?
Have a hard drive to repartition before I'll get round to it myself :-)
Cheers,
Just giving enditall a go first see how I get on with that but if I try FSautostart I shall be in touch.
