One of the most frustrating things a Windows user runs into is a system hang. Did it completely freeze? Will it come back?
To help take control of runaway programs that hog your CPU, take a look at Process Lasso.
Designed for all versions of Windows after Windows 2000, Process Lasso is able to monitor your CPU and when a process consumers too many for too long, the priority of that process is automatically lowered, making your computer responsive again.
Process Lasso can also do things like always start a certain program at lower than normal process priority, only let a program use your first CPU, etc.
If you’re interested, it’s a free download and you can get it here.
