Hi Emile -Installed and ran EndItAll 2 today - it was great. It allowed me to close or kill just about everything except "protected" items, which I left alone. Then I fired up FSCOF, and it ran fine - very comparable performance to doing a "clean boot" using the MS config utility.
BTW, so far I must say I am impressed with FSCOF. I still think the flight models are far too twitchy (unrealistically so) during taxiing, just after takeoff, and on short final - when the controls in a "real aircraft" get sluggish. MS has never gotten this right, in my view. But once aloft, the graphics I have seen are terrific, and the variety of aircraft are lots of fun. I wish the DC-3 didn't look so battered up, though.
