Appendix A. Customizing device driver configuration settings

This section contains information about how to customize and configure device drivers.

Changing the Windows 98 and Windows Me device-driver settings

Windows 98 and Windows Me have two device-driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify and DMA. These are ordinarily setup automatically by Windows. If you need to set them up, the following procedures will help.

The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start audio CD software as soon as a CD is inserted into the CD-ROM drive.

The DMA parameter improves computer performance by having the computer DMA controller handle moving data from the CD to memory, freeing the computer microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might make movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor will have more time to perform video tasks.

To change these parameter settings from Windows 98 or Windows Me, do the following steps. (This also pertains to setting Auto Insert Notification for Windows NT 4.0.)

1.Click Start-->Settings-->Control Panel.

2.Double-click System.

3.Click the Device Manager tab; double-click CD-ROM; select the CD-ROM driver listed; then click the Properties button.

4.Click the Settings tab.

5.Under Options, click the box next to either Auto Insert Notification or DMA.

6.Click OK.

Changing the Windows 2000 desktop device driver

To change the Windows 2000 desktop device driver, follow these steps:

1.Click Start-->Settings-->Control Panel.

2.Double-click System.

3.Click the Hardware tab.

4.Click the Device Manager button.
