lets say that you have to kill a process called firefox.exe and another called opera.exe\nopen note pad and type\n\nkill firefox.exe\nkill opera.exe\n\nand go to file > save as \ntype a name like \nkill.bat   “any name with .bat at the end”\nfrome the save as type: select “all files”\n\nand save, you should get a file that has a gear on it, double click the files and it will kill these process for you.

some application that is running and then refuses to close down on its own when you shut your computer shuts down, if you want it to stop happening, run msconfig.exe and then uncheck it in the start up menu, if it doesnt start up it cant be forced to close down, if its some crap you need for your comp to run well then , kill yourself and blow up your computer at the same time cuz i dunno

You should go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest\n\nand check whether your pc can handle the game. If your pc specs doesn't meet the recommended bar, then check why it couldn't. \n\nCan I give you some simple tasks to do only once in a week? This will surely give you the best out of your PC:\n\n1. Run Disk clean-up. Then delete unused files. (start>program>accessories>sys... tools> disk clean-up)\n2. Check for disk errors.\n3. Run disk defragmenter.\n4. Delete cookies. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)\n5. Delete cache. (you can do it from your browser options)\n6. Delete all history files. (you can do it from your browser options, or, CTRL + H, then delete)\n7. Empty recycle bin.\n8. Delete unused icons & short-cuts from anywhere including desktop. \n9. Uninstall any software or game that you use only once or twice in a week.\n10. Delete temporary internet files. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)\n11. Delete all recent files. (click on start, click run, then type "recent", delete all the files which show up)\n12. Run a full virus scan. If any threat found, eliminate that completely.\n\nIf you did these all at the same time, restart your computer.\n\nNow you can be sure your PC is much faster than before.

I also have a self-built system.  Generally if your problems occur after starting a game its going to be one of two problems.  Heat or Video Drivers.  Because you're having problems on all games and not just one or two in particular, I would guess that its a heat issue.  Generally an outdated driver won't affect all games in the same manner.  However, playing games are usually the most resource intensive applications and generate more heat on the CPU and GPU.  One way to test the heat issue is to open the case and find a big portable house fan and blow it directly on the computer and see if you can play for longer.  Also verify all the case fans are running properly and are installed properly.  Since you built the computer yourself verify that you have at least two intake fans in the front of the case pulling cool air in and two exhaust fans blowing out the back.

Always restart the computer after you install any programs.

if your games can't run on XP you can try to right click on the exe file and then goto properties and in the compatibility tab --> check run this program in compatibility for --> and then choose your OS which it was compatible for

Most systems have alot of software that isnt needed running on startup. Example....quicktime, logitech software, realplayer, winzip, etc...These programs and many others arent needed and will run when required. If they are running on startup, they are eating up ram! Type msconfig in your run box and shut them down. Be carefull what you shut down tho.

Maybe you need to install more RAM or increase the Virtual Memory. Read this about RAM Booster. http://forums.pcworld.co.nz/showthread.php?t=14202

Start by clicking the Start button, select "run". Than Type "msconfig" (without "). Than click on the last tab tittled "startup". then just check or uncheck startup files. Beware though, some are vital processes for windows to run so dont uncheck something you dont know otherwise windows might crash and cause further problems. :D hope it helped

Go to start-Run and type "msconfig".  Go to the "startup" tab.\n\nYou can uncheck the program from the list there.  That will stop it from running automatically at boot.

you mean if these programs run on startup and you want to make them dont start at startup, you can run regedit(start/run then type regedit and enter). on the regedit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run then delete the key which makes the program start. If you mean to hack the program then use this program free, its too hard to say it here.

Click Start, Run, type in msconfig\nGo to the Startup tab and uncheck the programs you don't want to load automatically.\nClick Apply and OK, you don't need to reboot, they'll be gone next time you start your computer.
