All I see is my desktop when the game is running.

The AVG has been mentioned many times.

I forgot the tool, but I recall we used to use those types of applications to free up resources for MSFT Flight Simulator and BOB II WOV. It was just a given... shut down services to enjoy.

That sounds similar to FS Autostart, which would shut down (and recommend) unneeded programs and services, and restart them after gaming! It would only work up to a certain amount of memory I believe (1 gig?). I used it all the time about 4-6 years ago. I don't think it is around any more.
