Go to task manager. go to processes. end process on everything except taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe with your user name on it. then go play your game. That pretty gets rid of all your background programs you have running. now when you want to get them all running again, just restart your computer. That's what I do and it makes every game I play faster than if I didn't do that.
