Im kinda left behind, what do you do?

if you are talking about the FSAutostart program, you download the program and follow the instuctions on the website linked above. In short you produce a profile for each game you want to play. You decide which of the services and programs normally running on your machine you want to shut down in order to free-up processing power to run your game, and you then point the profile at the .exe of the game. You can then run the game by clicking start in FSAutostart rather than using the desktop shortcut, or alternatively you can make a new desktop shortcut pointing to the FSAutostart profile (apparently - i haven't tried it)

I have actually run into a minor snag trying to make FSAutostart run BI, but RTW works just fine. I'm trying to figure out why that would be the case

That's the best damn tip I've read this year!

I'm playing M2TW on an NC8000 with a radeon 9600-64mb/512mb/1.7Ghz, and FSAutostart made my day, the game is almost running smoothly now.

It has some problems shutting down a few services, but besides from that... wow!

Hail to the mighty Marcus Caelius!
