Does your game does not start when you click the application at first?
You'd probably have to double click the game twice, right?

So does the game runs on the second time, eh?

If so, then this tool is for you. Just drop the asi file in your game folder.
This works with 3/VC/SA or IV.

How this works:

Whenever your game runs on the 2nd time, an unnecessary process called runDLL32.exe runs in your memory which eats your valuable CPU making your game slower. This tool simply kills runDLL32.exe process within the game itself, so that your CPU is not eaten up by that process.

Of course, you'd have to run the game twice as usual but the first instance along with the runDLL32.exe process is destroyed when the game runs on the second time.
