Repost due to popularity…
The sequel to FSAutoStart is finally here – AlacrityPC! Developed by Ken Salter for Win XP/Vista 32- & 64-bit (and as far as I can tell Windows 7), this utility shuts down any non-critical program while running a resource hungry application, such as our beloved FSX. When the user is done with the application, all of the switched off programs resume!
[EDIT] – After a few hours of tweaking this utility on my system, I’m seeing a tremendous improvement in performance of FSX. Be sure to keep the profile below “Realtime,” as that will seriously affect sounds (as I found out very quickly). Thanks FSInsider visitors for stopping by! I invite you to check out my main page for more FS and TS related topics. All support issues for AlacrityPC should be directed here: http://support.alacritypc.com. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! I\’m glad you find my utility useful.
HiI\’ve downloaded your program, but when I go to install it, it says it is does not support my processor type, and cancels the installation before it begins. I have an AMD X2 5200+, could you please tell me what\’s wrong?
For support issues for AlacrityPC, please visit http://support.alacritypc.com and subscribe to Ken’s forums. He is certain to answer you there instead of asking for support here.

What a great Vista utility! Less than 5 minutes to download, install, and configure. Super easy to default configure per the quick setup instructions. Good performance increase for Flight Simulator X. Works flawlessly for me. Highly recommended. Thanks!
