Some games just get a little glitchy but frames per second remain high.
Its just weird.

Wanted to add my 2 cents here. For a gaming rig where you will be frequently stopping and restarting the service I recommend setting up bat files that execute net stop and net start commands to stop and start your services. Really simple to setup, just net stop <service name> to stop and net start <service name> to start. Plop em on your quick start bar or desktop etc and 1 click to stop and start F@H :D

I have two .bat files on my desktop for when I game. One shuts down both FAH services, the other starts them back up again. Thus, when I need full use of my rig to frag some people, I just click the "Stop FAH" .bat file and when I'm done with my killing (or being killed) spree I hit the "Start FAH" .bat file.

Copy/paste the following into two bat files:

****Stop FAH, copy between the asterik lines******

sc stop FAH1
pause 1500
sc stop FAH2

**********************************

*****Start FAH, copy between *********

sc start FAH1
sc start FAH2

***********************

Just in case, a batch file is simply some command line in a notepad doc that you save as "some-name-here.bat" instead of "some-name-here.txt". So just open notepad, copy/paste the first .bat, and save it as "Stop-FAH.bat". Then repeat for the second one naming it "Start-FAH.bat".

This one from Wedo is clean and fast. I use it to stop/start the 4 clients on my Xeon duallie.
