Appendix B
Set Virtual Memory To A Fixed Amount
If you have sufficient memory it is possible to completely turn off Virtual Memory. If not, set this to 50-
100MB.
Use A Dedicated Drive For Audio
Use the fastest drive available to you. Any drive sold as an AV drive will probably work. Try before
you buy.
Disable Screen Savers
Screen savers, TSRs and Timeout features should be disabled. Disable any program or task that
runs in the background.
Disable Virus Protection Software
Virus protection software typically runs in the background of the computer, taking up processing time
from the CPU. Make sure your virus protection software is disabled while running your audio
applications, but enable it periodically to check your system for viruses.
Dedicate your Computer to Audio Work
Computers are complex machines. The software that runs in them is equally complex. Dedicating a
system to certain applications will minimize conflicts and other system problems. Try to dedicate your
machine solely to audio purposes, and do your word processing, web browsing and financing on other
machines.
Keep Your Drivers Up To Date (vga, midi, etc.)
Contact your card manufacturer for any updates that are available. Keep the old drivers on hand in
the event that the new drivers cause more problems.
Compatibility Mode
In Control panel/System/Performance if Win95 tells you it is running in "Compatibility Mode" it means
that Windows drivers are not being used for some device. Try to resolve the problem.
