[QUOTE="m.standish, post: 306386, member: 22329"] [b]Streamline MP running[/b] lol, Ill ad my own now I have come across a great way to start MP I use it to run MP on my one pc so i can run a fully featured pc and switch it to a htpc therfore using one box to do 2 seperate functions witrhout dualbooting or wasting resources It is basically a script from a .bat that will in order - close down all unnecesarry running programs - stop any unneeded processes - run any s\w that is only used for MP (remotes, Last FM, ect) - Run MP - Wait until MP closes and.. - Stop MP specific apps (remotes ect) - reinitialise all services used for PC - reinitialise all programs This way i can unload about 150mb ram and services and the cpu power Stop any slow spots (while updating ect) allow me to run a fancy XP with sidebar and all my little tools then switch to a very cutdown streamlined xp while running MP, which allowed me to remove my dual boot function and it 10000x easier you need to put the process.exe in c: and then its just a batch file mine is (with explanation)......................
