Silent Hunter has encountered a problem......

Ok, it sounds like the problem I used to have and I solved it by using a program called End it all 2. Because every computer has background programs running, one or more of these is conflicting with SH3.

End it all 2 is an application you use to shut down unnecessary programs. When you run End it all 2 you choose which processes to close, kill, or protect. It is a simple yet very powerful program so choose close for most apps and if they can't be closed then select kill. The description of the process makes it very clear which should be closed, killed, or protected..when in doubt protect.

There is also FSautostart which is the same type of program but gives you the ability to restart processes previously stopped to bring your computer back to its original state.

I'm most familiar with End it all 2 as I've used it for more than 3 yrs without problems on my Windows XP system. I just run it once before I load a game to gain all resources I can and never have to run it again unless I reboot the computer.

Either of these utilities is available at my site under downloads. Note: Do not run these two programs together use one or the other only. Try each one out and compare to find the one that suits you best.

Read the Help files to get familiar with these programs.
