hey adonys!at least i appreciate your efforts to make the game more playable!
ignore this brick, he is screwing his vga all the time, but never posted something useful or constructive in this forum.

btw, : "Go to ..\steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ and right click on the Launcher.exe file and select properties. Go to Compatibility tab and check Disable visual themes, Disable desktop composition and Run this program as administrator.

By disabling the visual themes or desktop composition (I don't remember right now which of them), you might not be able to access the Save custom user settings window (as it 's a Windows window, so it would need those). You just uncheck that one when you need to save those, then check it back again, as you won't save those settings so often.

To disable Windows Indexing Service, you need to right click on My Computer, select Manage, then go to Service and Applications -> Services tree and look for the Windows Search service. Select it, right click on it and select properties and there put Startup type on Manual or Disabled and press the Stop button."

what will those two changes do to cod?is it advisable to try it even with less than 4gb of ram to disable the windows search service?what will "disabling visual themes" do to cod?
thx in advance for your answer.

Every other setting not related with paging file doesn't have anything to do with the amount of RAM, you can safely use then no matter what amount of RAM/page file you have.

The Windows search service is doing the indexing job (registering all the files on all your HDD's in index files, in order to speed up Windows' search function results (when you are using Windows' search function to find something on your system) and therefore constantly reading from all your HDDs and decreasing performance by using processors time and HDDs IO calls).

The others are just manually forcing off the Aero (which is a 3D interface) and Windows' desktop's visual enhancements while that program is running.
