[Dxspider-support] AGW and Spider

[Eric Carling]

Lee, I've been doing the same thing and had a similar improvement. One
question though, if you happen to know...is it possible within the OS (XP in
my case), to permanently set process priority above normal without having to
do it manually after any reboot? There is an application called Priority
Master that does it for me but I have a side issue that renders its use less
acceptable than I would like so I wonder how you manage your priority
settings.

I have been running AGWPE at above normal priority in my Win 2K machine for
the last two months. This has solved two very annoying problems.
 
The first one was that after running for some time, the AGW would stop
talking to users.  This problem has been completely fixed by bumping up its
priority.
 
The second problem that went away was that the sound has not quit working in
my computer.  I did not expect this one to be solved.  I have not told the
AGW program to use my sound card, but evidently it can still lock-up the
sound.  I have been trying to solve this problem for many months.  I did not
think AGW had anything to do with it.  The sound would only work for about
two days after a reboot and then it would stop.  It has now worked for two
months without stopping even once.
 
I believe the root of the problem is that Spider is ! so fast that data
arrives faster than AGW can process it and AGW gets confused.  AGW defaults
to normal priority.  By increasing this to above normal, AGW is able to keep
up with the data from Spider and does not have any problems.
