A while back I had a program that would shut down all background programs so my games would run faster. I THINK it was called FSSTART.exe or something like that. I had to re-do my system, and would appreciate a link to this download if someone could kindly provide it. If it isn't by that name, it is close.

If you go to Download.com and search for a program called "End It All" it does the same thing.
download.com (http://www.download.com)
Do a search for it at the link above. I could not find the exact program you are looking for, but this one is essentially the same and probably better.
-
I cant find the End It All program :(
-
That program is not at download.com. An internet search reveals its now called Enditall2, and it is no longer free :( but that isnt the same one im refering to
-
ah, here is a link for the original enditall:

Humm.. ran that exe and its not a very good program. This program im looking for automatically shuts down background progs when you run the game you want, then restarts them when you are done
-
You run End It All and you choose what programs you want to "end", so you don't crash Windows. Then when you're done playing you simply "activate" the programs again, or relog and your system goes back to the way it originally started. I'll keep looking for the program that you are looking for. I'll let ya know.
-
Was it FSAutoStart (http://www.kensalter.com/fsautostart/) you were looking for?
-
Nice Find. :)
-
Not to steal the thread or anything BUT... I've been looking for something like this for awhile. Do you guys also know a website that tells you what programs are safe to turn off? Thanks guys:)

SuperDud try http://www.blackviper.com

BlackViper is a great site. Go to the area that tells you how to set up a profile. (Windows XP Services Configurations) This will allow you to select a certian profile when you boot your PC. I set up one for when I am going to play AH. Huge differance in my game performance.
-
he's thinking of FSAutoStarty thingy. It can be setup so that when AH is launched, it shuts down all other bacground programs.

Thanks for all the help guys. I got another 1 for ya though:D I went and disabled all the programs I wanted turned off when I go to play AH2, hit the start button and it worked fine. But how do I now restore my old settings? There was a start button but is there a stop? And to avoid confusion this is for the FSAutostart.
-
YES! it was FSautostart. This program is great because not only does it shut down the programs AUTOMATICALLY when launching a selected game, but it restarts then automatically when your done with your game. As far as knowing what programs to disable, this nifty program will make suggestions, for each program line entry, what the program is..what it does, and even makes suggestions as to leaving them running or shutting them down. Thanks for the link! (and its FREE too!..uh, they ask for a donation if you can )

If your talking about FSautostart..instead of choosing the option to "stop" running a program, use "stop and restart" option for each line entry..this option will restart background services when you exit your game
