Hey guys

i hv an intel 2.4 with 4 gb ram..with win vista.
im playing godfather2 these days..the game starts alright...
bt what happens afterwards is...it start hanging in between...thn again it works alright..thn starts hanging again...and this goes on....
what i want is...a software which could let godfather2 (or for that matter any task..) use all the available resources....as putting other tasks in the backseat..!!
hope u gt my point!

thnks in advance..

2.4 Intel, as in? A dual core or a quad core CPU?

And what about your graphics card?

Increase the priority to highest in the task manager processes tab I guess..

If you want to prioritize the task then open Task manager then goto the process that you want, right click on it and select "Set Priority" to "High"...

I just checked out the game, seems only need min specs to today's stds.

Before doing anything, check if ter's a "Official Patch" for the game.

Assuming you have all updated drivers & a dual core , the game may not be utilizing both cores. If so, after the game startsup. Minimize & open "Task Manager". Right Click on that particular "exe", click "Set Affinity" & select your options. (Don't expect much but worth a try).

Any errors/crash while playing or installing ??

Thats what am trying to explain to you.

It could be a graphical problem with the "Official Release", happens everytime. If so, they must have released a "patch" to correct it within days. Have you checked the official site ??

Just to add, the more info you give...more we can help you.
