  How did u get it show up on the game screen

  Right click the ASC icon on the Task Bar

   

  • Open Performance Monitor
  • Right click the title bar for menu
  • Select Pin it up Front in Settings
  • Then click Hide Details
  • Drag it to where you want it.

   

  If you want to close it after you are done, you can click the + sign or right click and exit.

  I do use a registry tweak to unload dll's from memory.  However, is there another tweak one can use to flush the ram once a program has been terminated.

  Here you go. I have included the instructions for you below (use the same procedure for both tweaks):

  This one is to unload DLL files.

  System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
  AlwaysUnloadDLL]
  Value Name: Default
  Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
  Value Data: (1 = enable)

  This one is for memory in system page files:

  System Key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
  Session Manager\Memory Management]
  Value Name: DisablePagingExecutive
  Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
  Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = disable system paging) 

   

  Open your registry by using RUN COMMAND > regedit -  and find the key

   

  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer].
  • Create a new sub-key named 'AlwaysUnloadDLL' and set the default value to equal '1' to disable Windows caching the DLL in memory.
  • Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

  You need a disclaimer there, CS. Not for the faint of heart and definitely not something a novice wants to mess around with.  LOL

  I already use both of  these tweaks, but thank-you for the reply.

  PS, I have been editing the registry since XP came out, but yes, if anyone is reading this, make sure you do make of backup of your registry.
