Windows Task Manager Cleanup

turn off your msn and your ad ware neither need to be running all the time and from my experience msn messenger if on slows my setup down a bit
 
DWAH thats ALOT of services! Im running 35-40 and I think thats too many as for what needs to be taken out it all depends. I would recommned going to Sysinternals and download Process Explorer. It will show you what all those services are connected to and you can decide whats necessary from there
 
your that popular that you need to be on messenger while you are gaming?
just kiddin ...other than those two i'd say you are on the right track
 
you should look into getting a online room to talk to all ur friends while gaming . like teamspeak .....when we run it there is no effect and the sound is crystal clear
 
Yeah, my clan has teamspeak, but my soundcard is messed up. If i try and talk while somebody else does, there voice plays back to them 10 times louder, and they get REALLY pissed off. Ive got banned from teamspeak a few times for it.
 
are you using headphones
 
a guy in my room has same issue with usb headset it was way too sensitive and we would get the echo travling through the boom for the mic we turned him way back and its worked fine since and you should get some1 in the room to fix it with you
 
Everyone I know has tried giving me remote assistance, and they can't fix it.

And when I reinstall new drivers for it, it doesn't reset any sound settings.
 
hmmmmmmm.....sorry man out of ideas good luck with your gaming tho
 
this is normal:

without tpu capture and firefox and daemon tools+ sound man is my audio driver
 
heres one way that ea tech support told me.

1. click on User Name to organize the processes.
2. dont close any LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORKSERVICE or SYSTEM proceses.
3. close all of your USERNAME PROCESSES except taskmgr.exe, EXPLORER.EXE, and ofcourse if your using Catalyst Control Center dont close ATI2evxx.exe, I dont know if nivia or other video cards have a 2d /3d auto-setting process, but it gives you auto overdrive for 3d applications.

and decide here what you need and what is useless
 
Cool way to do it. So explorer.exe is not a must I take it?
 
end it and u will see that your desktop is away^^

then u have to restart or restart the progress your should be around 30 tasks after your cleanup
 
would closing CCC take away my CCC settings?
