RE: Poor FPS in games

I just end every task I can...

All I play atm really is Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, and I put the cd into the drive, wait for the launch menu to come up, then ctrl+alt+delete. I end everything I can in the list (INCLUDING Explorer.exe) and just leave things that cannot be stopped ("system" services etc) and things I explicitly need (eg. program to control soundcard).

Then I just end task manager and press play on the launcher and it makes the game performance a lot better.

Mind you, when I try to end one of the svchost.exe programs running, Windows will usually complain and force a timed shutdown after 30 seconds. I cancel this with start>run>shutdown -a but does anyone know if you actually NEED the program running when all you're doing is playing games?

Vaccy is my thin twin!
