Basically my computer takes me ages for a game called ''Soldier Front'' to load. Usually it should take 7 - 12 seconds but it takes me over 30 seconds and minutes sometimes. How can i reduce such thing? Is there a software i can download to free memory?
Thanks and take care
Regards
hi

How much ram(memory) do you have?
And to free up memory do CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to processes.
End all the processes without the name SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, or NETWORK SERVICE. This should free up alot of memory.

512MB RAM isn't enough for Vista. You should have at least 1GB for normal use, 2GB (or more) for gaming. And if you're running onboard video, you should get a PCIe x16 video card (or AGP, depending on your system) instead. Other than that, try running MSCONFIG & disable unneeded startup programs: http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msc...

Why wait? You can get 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-800 (assuming that's what you need) at several sites for less than $20 after rebate, usually with free shipping. Check Newegg & Frys.com. If you need DDR400, Frys has been running deals on that lately too.

jusched.exe
taskeng.exe

MSASCui.exe
explorer.exe

Chances are if you are having trouble with a game this web site can tell you if you computer can handle it or not.

Or you can install Windows XP on another partition on your hard drive, disable most of the unimportant services running in the background, and then try playing the game.
