The CPU Eater ProBalance demo app continues to advance. Since many users weren't extracting all files in the CPU Eater zip archives before running CPUEater.exe, causing "DLL not found" errors, I decided to put the CPU Eater in a RAR self-extracting archive. The SFX archive will extract the CPU Eater files to a folder of your choosing, then automatically run the CPU Eater control application. I'm now about ready to truly unveil this demo app to the world. Of course, I've been mentioning it (for better or worse) on my site ever since its release....

For some time now I've planned writing a graphical version of TestLasso, so that users can more easily see the benefits of Process Lasso's ProBalance. Finally, I've completed that task.This new graphical CPU Eater is much easier to operate and doesn't require the user to click to a different window before Process Lasso acts upon it (it actually launches TestLasso in the background). I'm sure many users were previously confused with having to click to another window after launching TestLasso, so no more of that ;).I haven't prettied it up much yet,...

I have decided to proceed with the release of Process Lasso v3.62 final. This new version offers the new 'keep process running' capability, as well as proper display and handling of process command lines.There are also many other minor additions and adjustments. I am proceeding with the release simply because my testing and code review of this build has all went well, and I have some major feature additions coming down the pipe-line. The sooner I get this new final version out, the sooner I can get to work on the next be...

I've extended my NT Native API process 'engine' to include many new capabilities. One of these is proper determination of process command lines. This, surprisingly, isn't something made available to normal, documented Windows APIs.It wasn't very difficult to add support, though I did have to update a couple of my undocumented NT Native data structures. This is just one of many things that I never have gotten around to.. well, until now.In v3.61.4 beta, Process Lasso lists command lines of processes. In the next build I release, I'll have integrated...

I've decided to restore the Modules tab to Process Lasso. It was removed over a year ago as part of a streamlining effort. Now that Process Lasso is increasingly being used as a primary task manager, the decision has been made to restore the Modules tab. This view, for those who don't know, displays modules loaded by the selected process.This will be found in v3.61.2 b...

I've added to v3.61.1 beta a feature to keep selected process(es) running, meaning it will restart them if they terminate (or are otherwise not found to be running). There is still some work remaining before this feature is completed, but the core functionality is in place and ready for casual use and testing.I personally needed this feature for a problematic process on my HP econo-laptop. The process that facilitates the Synaptics touchpad, SynTPEnh.exe, kept silently crashing, causing the scroll bar on the touchpad to cease working. Now, with...
