I found this searching online. I gained about 5-8 fps. I've read that some people have gained much more and some people had no change at all.

Open up control panel and goto "system".
Click on "advanced" tab.
Click on "settings" under "performance".
Check the box that says, "adjust for best performance".

By doing this your computer will revert to a Window 98 type state. No fancy desktop or anything. All you need to do to change it back is to go back to the screen and check the box that was previously checked. It was probably the one that says, "Let windows choose whats best for my computer".

Post any positive or negative feedback and changes in FPS

not much but a few FPS increase:

1. right click FSX shortcut icon
2. select properties
3. select compatability tab
4. tick disable visual themes
5. tick turn off advanced text services (leave if you require them)

click ok and start her up Smile

btw...the above tip does has the same effect has the previous tip, only it does not effect the whole system, just the game itself.

More Tweaks for FSX and great support!
If you do not feel like you can muster up the courage to do it yourself-HighFlight will do it for a small charge

They also have great "Must Have Files" to enhance some effects and many great aircraft. A Super Connie that is one of the best freeware I have ever downloaded. It even has a Setup.exe file for easy loading into FSX

Give the site a try!

Do any of these tweaks work for a Quad-core processor? Please let me know before I have to do the complete re-install of all my add-ons and program again. Thank you ever so much for your help and assistance

These were all put out way before Quads but since most are for the sim and have nothing to do with the CPU you should be able to use them.
I know you are having problems with getting SP2 but without it all the cores of your Quad won't be used.
