These days I searched for a method to improve the performance of Windows 7 and I tripped over on Game Booster. It's a free software developed by IObit.
After I tried it I can say that it really improves the performance if you got an old windows installation and you are lazy to delete all useless crap running in the backround or you got Windows Vista or Windows 7 which has useless crap from the start. Game Booster will close them and re-open them with just one click. A friend could save almost 649 mb of ram with it. I saved only 117 on Windows 7 but it worths it.
(If you got only 1 gb or 512 mb of ram probabilly this is a blessing for you)

It's working on Windows 2000,Windows Xp,Windows Vista and Windows 7. I recommend it especially for Windows Vista and 7.

You can download it and get more info on the official website :

I hope I helped some of you to get a smoother gameplay.
You can ask questions here...
But I think that even the dumbest of the dum dum salad can understand it.

Or you can learn how to use msconfig to prevent stuff from opening to begin with?

I just turn off aero it drops my fps to 20-30 and causes weird graphic artifacs all over my desktop... disabled i get 40fps and no artifacts =D

Maybe but in most cases you have to be really curious to search over 30 Microsoft processes/services on google to find out which is important and which isn't.

Or you might end up learning how to use the recovery console ?

Last I checked even in XP you couldn't format from the command prompt. Also, you'd need the letter Y after it to tell it yes your sure you want to erase all data.

If you need the recovery console after messing around in MS Config, you didn't learn enough about it, did you?

I'm not that stupid but seriously I don't know what happened one day I came back from playing Brawl with some friends, turn on the computer but the boot screen would suddenly mutate into a blue screen and restart the computer I'm like WTF o_O the cycle never ended it would always do the same so I tried recovery console to try and fix the boot files, could login and enjoy my laptop again, few days later its time to restart it but suddenly I would get "Cannot find boot record. press any key to continue", go back to recovery console mess with it again keep getting the message, decide to back up everything using parted magic live cuz I wanted to format but it would say Disk C: 0% used disk is empty or corrupted *eye twitch twitch twitch* ...............................*long sad disturbing silence while my eye keeps twitching*........................................ ... desperately go find my old ubuntu 7.10 live installer CD to see if it can find my disk but not even ubuntu live would find it D: tried everything but ended up formatting D:

It was sad... really sad of all that 500gb I had of anime I probably only watched 300gb~ I blame everything on recovery console!! I decided never to mess with it again.

trial and error with a teeny bit of common sense?

you can do a format, but to format the active windows partition you have to do a force dismount, which most of the time causes BSOD or crash lock up, ect.


If you want to save ram, use the old school windows classic GUI, or ctrl alt del and end explorer.exe and launch things through task managed. I used to do that on my old computer to play CnC Generals. Keep in mind though, you can easily restart explorer by typing explorer in the run box

Thanks for your response, starfish.

Im using Vista with the Game Booster, plus I went into Control Panel \ System and Maintenance \ Performance Information and Tools, to adjust visual effects for the best performance of vista, then changed power settings and that has seemed to make a big difference for me. I can stay logged in alot longer than when this leak first started 4-8 hrs. Now I'm in from maint. to maint. Hope I gave useful info, otherwise disregard. I forgot to mention I am using a memory optimizer also. Its nothing special just something I found on Download.com

Thanks for the info and program, it helped me a lot, since I only got 1gb ram and vista prem on it. It was lagging all the time, but now it is more running smooth, thanks
