Alacrity Services Cordinator (Better FPS)

This is a handy little program that closes EVERY unessasary (including explorer and your desktop wallpaper!) service whenever you start it. Takes a little while to get set up (5-10 mins). It also has a ram optimizer it runs, moving all the necessary services it leaves running to the front of your ram then allows your game to fill up the remaining RAM. IT original started as FSAutloader, but has been changed to work with any game.

I started to download it and then realized I already have it. I've probably looked at the icon more than once and said "I wonder what that one does?"

I sure am glad to know I'm not the only one who does that:hmm:

Gonna have to give this a try.

Very Good Program, I use it with almost all my games especially any simulator. Only problem I've had is that it will occasionally fail to properly restore my desktop/explorer theme (Windowblinds) but even that just has to be unloaded and reloaded.

i assume this progarm has be runnin all the time for it to work? ive noticed on the task manager that it uses up a fair amount of memory on its own., actually a fair bit more than some of the programs it closed down.

a fair bit more than some of the programs it closed down

...ain't that a sure nuff,real life catch-22...



The best program of this kind I have found comes with the BoB Development Group's supermod for Battle of Britain Wings of Victory.

With one click...(no setup required)...it shuts down every nonessential service....uses very litle memory itself...and automatically restores the services next time you boot up. You run it before you boot up whatever game you intend to play.


The downsides are you have to keep BOB installed on your HD whether or not you play it and it only works with XP not Vista...so I had to leave it behind.

I got this program when I read your post the first time. Works great. Completely remove the slight jerkiness I've always had since 1.4, and my other end program Enditall didn't do that. Recommended.

so its possible to use the bob shutdown program on other games apart form bob?

how is it done?

A strange term to use, considering the circumstances. XP still beats Vista in every benchmark but one that I've seen. My copy of Vista continues to age until the release of whatever comes next. It looks like never having been installed, I'll have to donate it to the same museum featuring Windows ME, the Apple III, the Cadillac 2-4-8 engine and the dot matrix printer.:rotfl:
