Yes you can use it for any game. It simply runs through all the XP services and shuts down every one that is not needed for gaming. You don't even need to tell it which ones. Takes about 60 seconds. Then, as I said, when you reboot your system all services are restored....which for me was a winner...'cause I do like to print and copy to disk ect..ect...ect...from time to time.
I used it for a long time and never had a problem with it.I imagine that it wouldn't be much of a problem to extract from the mod. I never bothered because I play BoB from time to time. It is freeware. The BoB Development Group were not even sure where it came from...or so they told me. They think someone on the team wrote it back when XP came out and eveyone was having fits about all those unneeded services.
Anyway, it is a nice and handy hassel free program. I asked them to write one for Vista but like a lot of others they want to remain back in the "good ole days." (at least for now...I can still recall all the howls about remaining with Windows 98 when Windows Millennium and then XP appeared...
) Then again, I don't really need it.... Vista Ultimate doesn't seem to bog down no matter the load or overhead.
