RELATED MACHINE ACTIVITY
 
Anything that interrupts the system or consumes CPU time for purposes 
other than capture can potentially decrease capture performance. Consider 
performing the following tasks to see if they affect performance on your 
system. 
 
Œ
  Close all applications except the capture application 
 
Œ
  Turn off the screen saver 
To do so, right-click the desktop, click Properties, select the Screen 
Saver
 tab, choose (None) from the screen saver drop-down combo box 
and confirm with OK
 
Œ
  Turn off TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs 
TSR programs are programs that perform certain operations after the 
computer has been started and install a part of the program permanently 
into the memory. The resident (still active) part is continuously 
performing certain background operations now, for example virus scan 
operations. 
Œ
  TSR programs displayed in the taskbar 
If there are TSR programs displayed at the right bottom of your 
taskbar, you can turn them off in the following way: 
Right-click the corresponding symbol in the taskbar and select the 
option Exit or Close  from the context menu that appears now. 
Œ
  TSR programs not displayed in the taskbar 
In this case start the Task Manager with the keyboard command  
CTRL + ALT + DEL. Select the applications to be turned off one after 
the other and click the button End Task
The corresponding symbols disappear from the taskbar now or they are 
indicated with a red "Warning" sign. 
 
Œ
  Turn off your printer 
 
Œ
  Disable your network card 
If you have a network card in your computer, disable it. Sending and 
receiving data over the network can interrupt the system, even if you are 
not actively doing anything over the network.
