You can always leave a comment on my answer.

CCleaner doesn't really help your computer out if you "clean up your registry," because when you "clean" your registry, you leave holes/gaps in it. Everyone knows how bad a fragmented hard drive is. Imagine if your registry is also fragmented.

I recommend that you ditch the netbook, and use a computer that is made for more than simple web browsing.

Exactly why I hate netbooks...they are underpowered laptops. You can't get a lot of FPS anyway on a netbook anyway.

Now that I put my hate aside, there's an application for Windows called Game Booster. What Game Booster does is close out of any unnecessary running tasks (be careful, because it can also quit your virus protection software).

Netbooks weren't made for anything more than simple web browsing, and a couple of other light things. My only other suggestion is to ditch the netbook and get a laptop that has some decent hardware in it (believe me, you don't want me to get mad about netbooks).

Personally I don't see why you're even attempting to play games on a netbook. Apart from having a small screen they're also under powered. I recommend you play games on a laptop with a decent GPU or just use a desktop instead. Netbooks and gaming? Definate no no!

Disagree. Netbooks and gaming are not mutually exclusive. Games like World of Goo, Peggle, Diablo II, Emulators (not that I use them), and WoW (low settings) all run fine on a netbook. Maybe this person is asking because his budget allows for a $250 netbook, and not a gaming laptop at $600 minimum, or desktop at a $400 minimum and n portability.

I will admit that, with everything I've tried on mine, I've found it best to just stick to games that are either meant for older systems, or emulators. You won't be able to shut enough things off to play a new PC game on it, so you're better off not going through the frustration. I have had success with all the above games, good luck man.
