I'd like to start with a question.
Does LiteStep affect my games somehow ? Any drop in FPS ?

Now my serious problem. I'm a happy fan of Need for Speed series. And I have now NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 game. While I'm playing I noticed that whenever I press ALT button (my honker is bind there), first I see my LiteStep shell flashing for a split of the second (1 frame maybe) in the front of the game - with buttons, wallpaper everything. Split second I tell you. (I don't know if this really doesn't happen when I don't press ALT button , but this happens).
continuing
...And from that moment, LiteStep Shell is flashing/blinking in the front of the game every few second together with Wallpaper, and i notice a drop in FPS.
When I press Left Mouse Button , I go back to LiteStep desktop.. grrrrr

Check the hotkey.rc in the LS folder, no doubt you will find that they are the same as the hotkeys of your games, if you don't want them to bother you, then just comment them (";") or change them...

Since i'm using litestep my fps has increased with 50%, no kiddin'.
But, before i start up a game, i make sure my I-boost modules is toggled off, otherwise i get a drop in fps.
