Before I run certain hardware intensive games like Titan Quest on my marginal system (P4 3.2GHz, 1GB DDR dual channel, NV7600GT AGP8x) or my son's (Athlon XP 2400+, 1GB DDR single channel, Radeon 9800Pro 128MB AGP4x), I have to unload the resident portion of my backup software. On my son's PC, I also have to unload a time monitoring/restricting program.
Ideally, I'd like to return to the ancient DOS days where I could run a batch file or script to unload these, launch the game, then reload them when the game was finished. Anyone have any ideas on that which do NOT include using Task Manager every time? My son hasn't figured that one out yet and I'm not keen to show him...
