CPU Drainage question?

[PappyCain]

Try enditall before you fire up the game - you should be able to find it on the internet.

"install utilities usually tell you to shut down all other tasks while they're operating. Other programs demand so much of your system's computing power that any concurrently running tasks will impact their performance. On today's powerful systems, you easily can have a dozen or more programs loaded at any given time. Shutting them down manually is tedious and time-consuming.

EndItAll 2 lists all the programs running on your system, and lets you decide which ones to close down. The processes necessary for basic system operation are protected from termination. From the remaining processes, you can choose which to close, which to kill (close down forcibly), and which to protect. Once you know which files you want to shut down, you can configure EndItAll for automatic action via script or batch file. This is useful for backups and defrags during off-hours. Options let you block power management and the screen saver during operation."

You can look under scheduled tasks, too. I just noticed a daily command line job I have running from there showed up as svchost in the title bar of the command window. Might be a long shot, but anything beats having to flatline a drive, imo.
