GAME and SAFE XP

"Game XP is intended to optimize the performance of your computer for gaming needs. It tweaks and modifies various XP settings (cache settings, CPU priority etc.) and optionally disables or stops several Windows services that are usually not needed. The program does not require any installation, and does not need to be running at all times. Game XP extends your operating system's capabilities and makes Windows faster and comfortable for maximum gaming experience"

DONT USE

i just used it and clicked warp speed and then the computer asked me to restart then when it booted up sorta it kept saying after that it couldnt save something a bunch of times then something important was missing and it did the 30 sec shutdown thing and when i was trying to run gamexp and restore the settings it wouldnt let me in the directory said not enough system resources .. and i had to use system restore after i used use known best setting..


man what a lame excuse for a program .. the only thing i can think of is they expected windows be installed on drive C: in which mine is installed in drive D:

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROGRAM PLEASE

I think instead of using this program (obviously) -people should go to http://www.blackviper.com/ and follow the instructions for turning off unneeded services. My PC is always optimized for gaming, and for everything else too.


I would like to see someone that used this program that it actually worked for, and see how much of a performance gain they got in benchmarks. I imagine if someone could get it to work without it trashing their system, it would actually increase performance.

BWX232, that is actually what I would recommend for any windows xp or windows 2000 user. Check out this website and tweak off the junk unneccesary services. It will free up a lot of RAM. Many of the services use 20+ MB of RAM just to be running and not actually do anything at all.
