Tasks to end before gametime

Tasks to end before gametime

Unnecessary programs and processes on Windows XP or Vista can be closed before gametime, as follows:

Right-click a blank space on the Windows Taskbar and select Task Manager.

The following should be done to end unnecessary programs:

1. For the list of active programs, click on the Applications tab.
2. Click on a program listed in this window then click the End Task button.
3. Repeat step 2 until all programs have been closed.

To close unnecessary processes do the following:

1. Click the Processes tab to view the list of active processes.
2. Click the User Name column header to organize the processes by login (i.e. username).
3. Click on any program listed next to your Windows login, except EXPLORER.EXE and TASKMGR.EXE, then select the End Process button. (Warning: Do not close any processes running under SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, or NETWORK SERVICE.)
4. Repeat step 3 until all of the programs associated with your Windows Login are closed except for the aforementioned two programs.
   

Doing this will free up much needed RAM and will unload the CPU of unnecessary processes, devoting precious cycles for your game.
