Nick, I have O&O v11 and the computer doesn't reboot after the offline defrag like the earlier versions did, it goes directly into windows. That's fine, right?

You can flush the prefetch folder and run the reg file you saved, reboot and let the system return to original if for some reason you do not like the result. It may take one or 2 reboots to restore the prefetch system.

Stupid question, Nick. After we revert, to we again run:

Thanks.
author=thetford569 link=1208959973/300#308 date=1239220287]just an update I reinstalled FSX thinking I had a corrupt install. After that I still have the same results. Jerkiness that was not there with my old hardware, frame rates never above 12 when in Friday Harbor and locked at 20. I might have not been right about the sound going away in Spot view. It seemed that it was but it may have been low volume because that seems to be working and when I switched to a jet instead of the ultralight I heard sound.
I also removed two sticks of my RAM to go down to 4GB instead of 8 to see if it helped any which it did not. I am also using the 178.15 version of NVIDIA drivers for my 7950 GX2 and FSX is installed on its own Raptor Drive away from everything else. I just can't figure out why my performance is worse than before?

author=thetford569 link=1208959973/300#311 date=1239245292]thanks Nick. I will work my way down the list and check the FSX Tuning Guide this weekend. I actually have not seen that guide before and it gives me several items to try. The only guides I had seen were the XP Tuning and FSX Setup guide which I have followed to the t. If I can't figure it out with this I'll let you know. Thanks again Nick and also to you truck911 for the list of items to check.

thanks...I worked through some of the list last night and will do more tomorrow when I get home from work including removing 2 GB of RAM to go down to 4 GB total. It just makes no sense to me though that my performance would drop from a steady 20 fps and pretty smooth flight to 10 fps and stutters with the same hardware but a better motherboard. And I have not even installed any of my add-ons yet...I just wanted to get FSX+Acceleration running well and then install my add-ons later over a length of time because I just don't have time right now to devote a few days to install everything I have.
One thing I have noticed after taking care of a few things on the list is that if I put the frames into unlimited I get fps in the 30s-40s but it is still a stuttering mess. One thing is though the textures all seem to be sharp and loading. Oh well, I'll keep playing with it and see what happens. I was just lucky before that I didn't have to do this much tweaking I guess?

OK then your adventure is just beginning
Installing FSX and addons correctly is step 1
Setting up the system and optimizing correctly is step 2
Setting up FSX and tuning it for your hardware is step 3
Yep.. you will stutter like a rutting pig till you finish you mission and do it right
The first 5 or so posts on the first page of this thread includes all the info/linkage you need. It also includes the link to setting up FSX
After setting up FSX correctly, if i then install other programs (non fsx related), do i need to re-run a space or name defrag?
os is on c: drive, and fsx is on d: drive (separate physical disks)
Thx!
Return to Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Steam
