Sluggish performance from app

The program Volumouse is invaluable for me, but when I wake up my PC from hibernation Volumouse always performs a bit sluggishly, even with the "Run Volumouse in high priority" box checked. I have to restart the program to get it to work properly. Is there a way to somehow reinvigorate a process that's currently running? I contacted the developer regarding this problem but never heard back, and thought I'd ask the community here about this - I tried to find info on this idea of giving a running process some juice like I'm describing but couldn't find any info.

Hopefully someone else will show a much better method:

Maybe you can use a batch file to close and re-open volumemouse.

Open notepad, enter below code, save as volumemouse.bat
(Change volumemouse.exe with correct exe)

Code:

Taskkill volumemouse.exe
start volumemouse.exe
exit

Download and install Windows 7 Suspend/Resume Control - Windows 7 Suspend/Resume Control - Download: Version 2.0.0.1
Set resume action to above batch file.

Haven't used anything like this before, hope it works.

I'll give that a try, thanks for the suggestion.

Volumouse gives me a prompt when I restart it though, what do you call those dialogs, EACs? Might get in the way, but only to find out. Will report on my findings.

Found this but too late to try :)
