Can anyone tell me how to close down unrequired background tasks in Vista? My game keeps crashing and I think it might be fighting with Vista. I'm not a techy though and have always bottled out in the past when you get to the list of programmes running (or whatever it is) and the instructions say 'Close down any unrequired programmes'. How am I supposed to know which are required and which aren't? I only use my PC for TS2. I have a different PC for internet and other stuff. Thanks
