A very good tool that helps prevent any particular program from hogging the processor.

How come Windows does not have such a feature?

I wonder...

I don't know if it's all that helpful -- I'll probably find out in a crunch sometime. But it does what it claims to do and is quite thrifty!

CyberDoc999, you don't seem to understand -- you tell it what priority you want. If you need your games at higher priority, either tell it to ignore them or double-click the icon to disable the Tamer altogether. I think it's great for making sure the desktop apps that I want to be very responsive stay that way, and that background tasks remain that way.

A nice program with nice support over at http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php - all free! But if you are using it often, please consider to donate.

This is a unique application that does exactly what it promises. If you test a lot of software, as I do, then you must run this! When you have a lot of processes running, and some are not well known, this software can mean the difference between a system crash and a minor annoyance.

Given that Win98 is today's equivalent of DOS 3.3, Lt_Master's criticism is invalid. Process Tamer is a nifty tool to have when running long operations, among other things.

Well written utility that does just what it does.

A highly useful utility when running a project that includes numerous processes. Great implemention of a straightforward idea.

Process Tamer is ok, but I prefer Process Lasso now that is free too.

This version is also problematic at 120 DPI. The utility itself works well, though. Very helpful in preventing CPU-hungry applications (and crapplications) from getting in the way.

Note for CyberDoc999: Process Tamer lets you exclude applications from priority control! (And by the way, your games may need a lot of CPU, but they don't generally run at "high priority". I know, facts are such a PITA!)

The configuration interface is screwy with my DPI setting (I would have given it a 5, if not for that). But the application works perfectly. I love it.

good for business computers,
but bad for gaming computers
as most 3d games need a high CPU priority
in order to play well.

To guy upper head:

Well, for my Win98, it dont run.
It says: This program must be run on Windows NT.
