(I came in on the tail end of this
conversation)
If you are running Windows XP (and possibly other
OS's), you can make a batch file to force an application to run at a
predetermined CPU priority. Here are three examples you can
try:
start "" /high "c:\Something.exe"
start "" /normal "c:\Something.exe"
start "" /low "c:\Something.exe"
start "" /normal "c:\Something.exe"
start "" /low "c:\Something.exe"
You can also use /realtime but that almost always
freezes a system. Good luck.

Thanks, that fixed it. Prime95 seems to be now competing equally with Boinc, and I can adjust the Prime95 share with Throttle.Looks like Boinc is running it's sub-projects at 4. I wish (in fact I've asked them) to run at lower priority, I find Boinc stalls mynetwork backup package, and lately Copernic Desktop Search indexing, even though it shouldn't stall any genuine app. I guessthey're all trying to be lowest priority. Windows needs a "Distributed Computing" lowest-of-the-low priority !Greg E-----------------------------------------------Greg Edwards, Technical ConsultantSilicon Graphics Australia Pty LtdLevel 4, 11-17 Khartoum Rd, North Ryde NSW 2113Tel: +61 (0)2 8875 9580, mob +61 (0)417 220 774Fax: +61 (0)2 8875 9480-----------------------------------------------
