    MSI Afterburner

    How do I disable the MSI On-Screen Display server v4.0.1 That starts automatically every time I load up MSI Afterburner v2.1.0.

    It's been doing this since I attempted to use the video capture program... which I now no longer need to do. However reverting settings back to how they used to be doesn't disable the on screen display.
    Current settings are:

    Does it actually display anything then? Flip off "On Screen Display Support"?

    I think the OSD server automatically starts if you have set automatic 2D/3D OC profile switching within MSI AB.

    Doesn't actually do anything... just sits in my icon tray.... And since I don't really like having programs running that don't need to be... it annoy's me.



    Flipping off "On Screen Display Support" just makes the icon disappear for 10seconds, then it comes right back.

    Try disabling the FPS Monitor in MSI Afterburner. Pretty sure this service is required to monitor FPS for Afterburner in your games. Also if you have any overlay or onscreen display options selected in Afterburner this service is required.

    "Framerate" but that's weird that it's not selected.. Whenever I select it(click where the checkmark would be to enable) it starts the RivaTuner Statistic Service to monitor the FPS and when I uncheck it the service doesn't run. Try deleting the MSIAfterburner.cfg in \MSI Afterburner\Profiles\ then reopen Afterburner.

    You mean the one that already shows it being disabled? ;-)
