Troubleshooting
This control panel can be found by opening Start/Settings/ Control Panel/System, then selecting
the Performance tab and clicking the File System button. This control panel optimizes the
performance of your disk drives for particular applications. For audio systems, it is best to set the
typical role for the machine to be a Desktop System or File Server. In either case, make sure your
Read-Ahead Optimization is set for None.
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.
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.
