Rubber Bullets

There is absolutely no call for that drdeathx.  This is a Technical Support forum not a brow beating forum.  If you have something helpful to offer, fine, but poking people with a stick will not be tolerated.

Go to your video card software. If you use nvidea go to control panel if you you use ati go to your catalyst control center. If you have not altered it, your default will be on.

OK, Here is the loaded question........I keep hearing (reading) only to run the processes that need to run to run the system.  Is that enough runs in one sentence for you?

I downloaded FSStart and even another program that allowes you to turn off various processes.  I am currently running about 40 processes.  Other than the rubber bullets, I don't have much of a problem, but before I get off track let me ask the question.

Having limited knowledge about computer systems, how do you know which processes you need to run the system?  One of the programs I have defines the processes, but it might as well be written in Greek, and I don't speak Greek.

Is there somewhere I can go to see what processes are required to run the system, like a list or something?

Thanks

Go to Black Viper's site. About halfway down under "Popular Content" click on which operating system you run. About half way down that page he has a whole crap load of services listed on a chart. The right hand columns are the "suggested" setting. If you can't find some of your services, you could leave them alone, or you could "google" them. In most cases when you google them the top choice gives a discription, and lets you know if you can turn it off or not.

Right click your desktop, select properties, setting, advance. In there you should find a tab with your video card (Nvidia, ATI) click on that and you should be able to find it. Can't get you closer because we don't know what you have, and I'm stuck on a laptop.

bmwgs, or you can hover your mouse over the service.  The guy who made FS Autostart gives a "stop" or "keep running" suggestion.  Then, click on the last column in FS Autostart and a pull down menu appears.

BMWG You do not need all those processes running even when you are not gaming. Go to the links I posted and figure out what you are not using or never going to use. Your computer will work nicer all the way around. Also, go to add/remove programs. Anything you do not use or will never need you can remove. Tuning your computer up is essential.


If you never changed the oil or spark plugs on your car what would happen? It would eventually start to tun slugglish and the engine may eventually seize. I am being a bit radical here but having that many processes running is a lot in general.
