Slightly OT: Antialiasing annoyance
If anyone remembers one of my older posts about a week ago, I was complaining about 3D Studio Max not working properly under hardware mode. I installed the 4.2 and 4.26 updates, and the problem persisted, so I decided to fool around with my graphics settings to see if the problem lied there. Eventually I came upon the option in the control panel that allows one to force antialiasing for all D3D and OGL operations (this is on a GeForce3); I changed this from the forced "Quincunx" mode to allowing applications to control the AA settings, and it worked fine after that.

Anyway, the problem I have is that FS2 (and a few other games) do not run properly without one of the forced antialiasing options turned on. So basically I have to go into the control panel and turn on forced antialiasing every time I want to play FS2, and turn it off whenever I want to do something in 3DS Max. Does anyone know of a way to automatically have Windows change the settings when certain programs are opened?

I don't think so. You can use a Macro program, i guess.
i looked at Downloads.com and found this.

I'll rip the description 'posted' by the developer.

Common uses of Tasker are to do boring and repetitive typing, testing software, logging in to Internet sites, or automating administrative processes.
