Author Topic: For best performance ? Marc Member Member # 1774 posted 01-07-2000 11:32 AM                Which program should i shut down before running Falcon4 explorer find fast osa wrctrl ndetect comsmd dssagent rundll systray Thanks Marc Posts: 80 | From: St-Julie Quebec Canada | Registered: Jan 2000  |  IP: Logged Smeghead Member Member # 805 posted 01-07-2000 11:44 AM                All you need to have running are explorer & systray. Oh, and I'd advise delving into your start menu and removing 'find fast' from your startup group. That thing is a pain in the arse for *any* windoze use, never mind running F4.

There is no reason to have a program running to help performance of Office, when you aren't even using office.

No F4 pilot should live without this one. Puts an end to the endless CTL>ALT>DEL. Find it at zdnet.com Posts: 851 | From: Ft.

Go into settings, control panel,display and disable screen saver/background and THEN go to start and run msconfig. Under SELECTIVE STARTUP check Load Startup Group Items. This will resstart your computer w/ mim of "trash". Then go back to control panel and use Game Controllers to enable your joy stick. I've used it for a long while and it works. When you're finished plying games go back to msconfig and check NORMAL STARTUP -- then enable your screen saver/background. Good hunting . . .

Can someone tell me what this does? I've always wanted to know Alex.

I have been running without systray for close to a year now and nothing is affected. I have Explorer running and thats it. Kobra, out.

DMHKEY is the InControl tools driver program. Posts: 4 | From: Grand Rapids, MI USA | Registered: Jan 2000  |  IP: Logged
