Optimizing Windows
Windows XP, by default, displays many “visual
eects” that slow down the computer. We
recommend that you turn o these eects
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 conguration setting in Windows XP and Windows Vista that reduces
the energy consumption of computers and monitors by shutting them down after a period of
inactivity. However, since your computer is a critical component in the operation of the
VersaLASER system, you do not want your computer to go into the Standby or Hibernate
modes while your laser system is operating. Contact your IT Department if you need help in
conguring your computer.
For the Power Scheme in use, select “Never” for all the
setting option: Turn o monitor, turn o hard disks,
system standby and system hibernates.
