That is not possible if you want to allow stealing (REALLY DMA) to work. It
is NOT the DMA that is causing the problem but rather the fact that windows
uses time sharing to execute programs. It gives a certain amount of time to
each task and then stops the task and starts the next one in line. You would
have to stop that function and then you stop windows.
