Normally, I am ok, so far as playing AH is concerned. I'm just trying to get the best set-up I can, to eleminate possible system shortcomings. I prefer to take the bull by the horns, and know it is my fault that I died, and not wonder if My system may be faulty.
I've been using the Sticky instructions to improve my computers connection and memory usage, and get rid of un-needed background programs.
My question involves the computers usage of the "svhost.exe" program.
System Specs:
MB = Asrock 939Dual-Sata2/A/ASR
CPU = AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual core processor 3800+ (Dual core disabled so I can play, Per Skuzzies instructions, it works, .
, after I spent the money for Dual Core,
, but life lesson learned.)
RAM = 2X 1 gig DDR/PC400
VC = nvidia e-GeForce 6600 PCI-E (256 meg)
Hyundai L70N Monitor
Saitek X-52
When I set up a "User Profile" for AH, using Win XP Pro SP2, as per the sticky info, when I boot using that Profile, I end up with the "svhost.exe" showing up 6 times under the processes running Tab, under Windows Task Manager.
Does the system need to run this program 6 times ?? If it doesn't, where do I go to be able to disable the un-needed ones ?? And How do I do so ??
If I "End Process" one under the WTM, it either says it is a vital program that I may not shut down, or shuts down the puter.
FR and connection seem ok, with a normal FR of 75 fps, dropping if I get into an intensive video area, (furball, burning base, lots of ack, etc.) Connection is DSL, using a wireless modem, currently.
I'm not sure what other information may be of assistance that you may need to be able to answer the re-accurance of the "svhost.exe" program, but I will gladly post it if needed.
Thank you in advance for any useful hints, tips, instructions or fixs.
