Is there a way to set a program to high priority all the time?


When I play Toca race driver 2, if I want to have force feedback on I have to press ctrl. alt. and delete, and set its priority to high in order to play it. If I don't windows does something that causes huge lag.

Can it be done?

Thanks in advanced.

Benzimm86:

I was looking at things like that, but I don't really like the program, I was hoping it could be done using Windows.

Nitestick:

I have had a look around, but I got completly lost in the XP pro admin tools, where I found a graph that I was looking for before, I know can map the amount of memory I have left. :p

I will look for a guide on how to do it.

More replies are welcome if you know exactly how to do it. :p

i would think there would have to be something in the registry. i will look around to see what i can find.

almost an hour later...

this really doesnt make sense. doesnt the registry hold every bit of info your computer uses? it has to be in there some where.:mad:

You can make a batch file or something. I remember seeing it to make the Counter Strike server run at high priority.

what did you end up doing with this???


Posted by: Trifid

Well the reason I wanted it, was it was hard getting out of the game (freezes) so I try to do it when I click the play button, but usually I can't do it in time, so to get out of the game I have a low demand program in the background up (iTunes usually.)

I now have GTR FIA so I will be trying to get good at that for the mean time, but when I go back to it, X-setup looks good.
