• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Java Quick Start

I had some issues while making movie clips in flightsim, and I thought FRAPS was the culprit.
The sim would "hook" momentarily, very irritating.
Turns out Java's prefetch was starting up and running in the background, and hogging the machine.
If like me, you are running Windows XP, you can disable JQS.exe:

I use FSAutoStart to free up resources. This includes stopping and restarting Java Quick Start to free up resources for FS9. One should be able to do the same with AltricityPC.

I run a dozen or more things on my machine: spreadsheets, email clients, photo-editing software, word processor etc.
It's what Windows is about: multitasking.

I dive into FS as a distraction sometimes for a few minutes only.
Ending a sim session, I need all that stuff exactly where I left it.

JQS is the only one that is really bad-mannered, and intrudes on my FS experience.
Disabling it, so far I haven't really noticed a dramatic hit in anything it would normally pre-fetch...
