Configuration

The configuration default settings typically require modification only for the following:

•diagnostic purposes

•fine-tuning a specific application/system configuration

•specific settings recommended by your hardware or software documentation

•tuning your application/system environment for best performance and memory usage

Activating a configuration profile

For some of the most popular applications the optimal configuration profile is factory-set by default. Select the application from the list in the Configuration Profiles section. This will add necessary Windows registry settings. Click Apply and, if prompted, restart Windows.

If you experience problems with your application, or if you want to try to optimize the performance of your system on specific applications, you may modify the configuration settings.
