Optimizing Windows XP Performance
Windows XP, by default, displays many "visual effects" that slow down the computer by utilizing RAM
and processor time. We recommend that you turn OFF these effects by right‐clicking on the My
Computer icon on your desktop, then click Properties and then click the Advanced tab. In the
Performance section, click Settings, then click Adjust For Best Performance, and then click Apply.
Computer Power Management
Power management is a configuration setting in Windows XP that reduces the energy consumption of
computers and monitor by shutting them down after a period of inactivity. However, since your
computer is a critical component in the operation of the VersaLASER, you MUST NEVER allow your
computer to go into the Standby or Hibernate mode.
