Disabling multitasking in Win XP

Hi,

(I am posting this in the gaming forum since I know gaming programmers need max. PC power and are real good at doing such things.)

I am new to this forum and was wondering if anyone can tell how to stop Win XP from switching out an application (i.e. giving nearly full CPU bandwidth to the application)? Basically disabling multitasking.

We are using .NET 2005 to write a program to send/receive data through the serial port and want to achieve full transmission speed with no gaps. Oscilloscope shows a gap which is inexplicable by looking at the coding so must be coming from Windows preemptive switching out of our application.

Thank you in advance.

that doesnt seem feesable to me, there is no way it not processing your send commands at a rate high enough to keep the serial transmission buffer full. Uness your really loading the cpu
