Clearing more active memory in Windows 7.

Aldurin · 04-13-2011, 12:05 AM

So I'm trying to run Minecraft on my laptop with Windows 7, and the framerate goes to shit whenever any area loading is done. I figure this is a memory issue slowing everything down as it takes a minute to just start a web browser right after it boots up.

I know that Windows likes to do a bunch of shit automatically but I really don't want to just start killing off processes in the task manager every time I want to play a game.

So what's the best way to prevent non-essential programs from starting upon bootup?
