Computer updating, does it really have to happen during most feavorouish fighting? Options

[Assault trooperPolska]

I don't understand, I really don't. my computer keeps updating at the least appropiate time... I checked on taskmanager, updating takes up 30% of the weak aready processor I got...

Examples: I was playing at Tuchola last night and us, germans were storming r2, the last enemy bunker, the russians resisted, and I had a sniper rifle, anw was picking off those peasky pak gunnes, and running in straight lines fools. Then BAM! framerate drops to like 5... and at such conditions one has to be the terminator to hit anything. Why? Cause my computer starts updating...

Another example: So I was playing Cossacks 2, u probably never heard of it but that's ok.. ita basically a RTS, so its working fine, I send everything I got at the enemy, and then bam... everything slows, and I know its updating cause I checked, and of course cause I can't see anything, and whole battalions get routed, I still win, but the caulties are staggering.

I know there option to turnoff autoputade, and I sure did, but now some Lucomscallproxy.exe and LUAupt.exe turn up and mess it all up for me.

I just want to know if its normal that it updates at times when U need the processing power... or is my computer just a bastard and does it to annoy me because its possesed by the devil?

Polska, if you don't want the Taskmanager to load programs and run them in the background do this;

Start, control panel, Administrative tools, Services, Scroll down to "Task Scheduler", double click, drop down "startup type" and click "Disabled", then go to "service status:" and click "stop". Restart your computer.

When it restarts, you can do this as well;

Start, Run, in the box type "msconfig" without the quotes and then click OK. Then click on the startup tab and surf through all the programs listed. Uncheck the one's that you are sure you don't need to run at startup (i.e. Microsoft office startup, Adobe reader, etc.) Some will be a little bit difficult to know what they are, but if you uncheck something that needs to run at startup, just repeat the process and re-check the box.

Try that and see what happens. You should see some very slight improvements in performance, as some programs will not be running in the background using precious resources.
