|  High priority program all the time? 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.  I will look for a guide on how to do it. More replies are welcome if you know exactly how to do it.

| 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.

| You can make a batch file or something. I remember seeing it to make the Counter Strike server run at high priority. EDIT: http://users.accesscomm.ca/gbraun/wxp/priority.htm
