AFAIK if it shows in Add- Remove programs in control panel, it's installed & running.terran2k said:I've installed it, I do not see it running as a process. I can double click on the installed exe and nothing. its even in my registry to run @ startup. Am I missing something here?

It might only run periodically, it synchronizes timings when some games don'tCaptain Newbie said:Ummm...
What is this optimizer supposed to do? (I would assume it helps the brain-damaged Windows scheduler deal with more than one CPU...)
Here's what AMD has to say:Stebly said:It might only run periodically, it synchronizes timings when some games don't
utilize the internal timing of system/cores. Without it, the games will begin to
slow down or "stutter" after 1/4 - 1hr or so. Cool 'n Quiet is involved as well
but my memory is fuzzy, I read about this a long time ago so details may be
wrong but something like that. There are also some different apps. that have
same problems as games. (crappy multithreading solutions???)
A preponderance of game developers, regrettably, know nothing about SMP and multithreading. (id excepted; they've been SMP since the P3 days)Stebly said:It might only run periodically, it synchronizes timings when some games don't

In Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and in Microsoft Windows XP, a program that uses the QueryPerformanceCounter function to query system time may perform poorly. For example, if you run the ping command at the command prompt, you may receive low or incorrect latency values.
