Guys, do you know anything useful about these services running on a gaming (including online game hosting) rig in Win7 x64bit:

 

- Cryptographic Services

- Function Discovery Provider Host

- Function Discovery Resource Publication

 

Thanks,

Dirk.

Word Not Allowed, would you recommend GameBooster anyway?

 

Thanks,

Dirk.

 

Also, how about disabling indexing on SSD drives? Is this recommendation still valid?

 

Thanks,

Dirk.

 

PS: how about these older ones by NickN?

2. Disable windows features:

3. Disable performance counters:

 

Download this package from Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7ff99683-b7ec-4da6-92ab...

Run the installer: exctrlst_setup.exe

Once installed you will have no shortcut to the tool� simply browse to:

C:\Program Files\Resource Kit

Double click the file: exctrlst.exe

A box will appear. Make sure there is a bullet in �SERVICE�

There is a list of services showing in the lower pane of the box, simply click the top service in that list to HIGHLIGHT IT and CLEAR the check OUT OF THE BOX labeled: �Performance Counters Enabled�

Scroll down the list and repeat the highlight\uncheck until EVERY SERVICE in that list displays a cleared �check�, verify you got them all -but the two- I list below... then close the box

NOTE: MAKE SURE TO LEAVE A CHECK IN THE FOLLOWING ITEMS

Thanks,

Dirk.

Yes, the above are from circa 2008, and most are obsolete.

 

Thanks,

Dirk.

I find the use of GameBooster very interesting.I started using it to hopefully save memory ,but as someone pointed out I had 16gb memory installed so this would not do anything for me ,I fly mainly for 1.5 hrs typically from London city (uk 2000) to Birmingham (Uk 2000) using Orbx UK scenery In a JF BAE 146 or turbine duke etc , I have monitored memory at 4.37 using task manager ,I was getting a lot of OOM ,here is the strange thing ,same flights but using Gamebooster and then closing down Avira, Super-spyware etc those bloody OOM stopped! ,I fly full screen most of the time but when trying out Opus I ran windowed and was amazed what was going on via the internet ,I don't fly really heavy Aircraft or really heavy scenery and don't know what is happening ,But if I do not run Games booster and close down my four security programs I can almost Gtee I get those dreaded bongs from fsuip ,should I close down more programs ,services ,anybody tell me what is going on
