Barely able to run GW? Post tips to help your PC here.

Over the years of gaming for me, everyone has had their little tips for helping their PC run games (Besides overclocking), and I thought it would be a great idea to post some of your tips here. Ill start it off:

1. Clean the dust out of your PC. Dust generates static electricity that can cuase problems for your PC.

2. Hit Ctrl + Alt + Del click Processes (This is how you locate it on WinXP) and click Explorer.exe(Icons and start bar on your desktop), and then End Task. Explorer takes up quite a bit of memory usage among the programs you have running. To open it back up, hit Ctrl + Alt + Del and go to Processes -> File -> Run (Again, WinXP) and type in Explorer.exe. To navagate through your windows open, hold Alt + Tab, and a window should pop up showing what windows you have open. To select icons on the list, hit tab to cycle through the icons.

Hope that helps out a little.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to tell people to disable explorer.exe. It can cause problems.

This is a good guide to things that you CAN disable:

Of course you play with these settings at your own risk, etc..

Or u could get a program called enditall2. It is a great program for closing programs that u dont need running. It locks the ones that u need so u dont worry about closing something that u shouldn't. Also u can lock and unlock any other program that u want to stay running. Do a search on google last time I heard they stopped making it. If u need it I can send it over. It is freeware so no money to spend.
