    AlacrityPC (used to be called FSAutoStart) by Ken Salter

    I don't know if this should be in here, or in the Tech Section. Mod to move please as required. Thanks.

    During my XP days I used to use a Program written by Ken Salter called FSAutoStart. This was subsequently re-written and called AlacrityPC. It is written in C# .NET 2.0.

    The author Ken Salter, doesn't seem to support the software anymore. However, it still works.

    AlacrityPC was primarily released for Windows XP, and Windows Vista Users. But I can quite happily state that it works with Windows 7. I don't have Windows 8, so don't know if it will work on the OS.

    AlacrityPC is a utility designed to help you get the most performance out of your computer when running resource intensive applications, like modern games. It does this by shutting down unnecessary services and programs before starting your application. When you finish your application, those services and programs can be automatically restarted.

    AlacrityPC also provides some additional optimizations, like memory defragmenting, removing your desktop background, shutting down the desktop shell and Vista Sidebar, and forcing background tasks to execute. You can automatically start additional programs like Teamspeak, TSN, TrackIR etc before the main game starts.

    You can make multiple profiles, for different games (you tell Alacrity where the game executable is).

    I have used this program for gaming for years, but I have never heard it mentioned anywhere. Maybe this utility was lost in antiquity. If you own a borderline rig to play CoD. This may help you run the game that much better. You have nothing to loose by giving it a go, and everything to gain.

    I use Razer Game Booster, sounds like it dose the same thing. Just dont use the FPS display tool, it messes with the spawn map and menu options when playing CLod.
