2. Set visual effects to a minimum.
 Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings > Visual Effects Tab > Adjust for best performance Like all previous Windows operating systems, there are many graphic effects - menu animations, dissolving menus and "tip" pop-up windows that all require additional processing power. For a professional audio system, these "accompaniments" just use additional CPU power and can cause audio glitches due to the additional traffic being generated on the system bus. There are a number of different ways to reduce the number of graphic effects, but it seems that the quickest way to turn off any unnecessary Windows XP animations, is by going to Start > Control Panel, click on Performance and Maintenance (if not using classic view), click on System, select the Advanced page and then click on the Settings button in the Performance section. A window will appear with a Visual Effects page. The default is "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer", which will mean that most graphic options will be highlighted (dependant on computer). Change this to "Adjust for best performance" and this will disable all of the "highlighted" options. When you have done this, the overall GUI look and feel will be more like the "classic" Windows. If you want to speed up the graphics, but want to retain some of the look of the new XP GUI, then after selecting "Adjusting for best performance" - scroll to the bottom of the list and select "use visual styles on windows and buttons". This will give you some of the XP "look", without much processor overhead.
3. Switch Off Desktop Background Image
 Right Click Desktop > Properties > Desktop Tab > Background None Switch off the desktop wallpaper as this uses additional graphics memory that can be used elsewhere. Right Click Desktop > Properties > Desktop Tab > Background None
 
 
4. Disable Screen Saver
 Right Click Desktop > Properties > Screen Saver > None Contrary to many popular audio tuning articles, disabling the screen saver is really not necessary with an audio PC. A screen saver is only ever activated once - when the screen saver is activated. Cycles aren't magically taken from your CPU, while your audio application is running if your screen saver is switched on. Indeed, I would even say that it is more important to leave the screen saver switched on, as even modern CRT monitors can develop "burn in". Even LCD/TFT monitors are susceptible to fatigue. It is probably better to increase the Wait time to a sensible value, rather than to disable the screensaver altogether. However, if you do want to turn off the screen saver, do this as follows. Right Click Desktop > Properties > Screen Saver > None
5. Disable Fast User Switching
 Start > Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on or off > Untick Use Fast User Switching There is a completely new function in both the Home and Professional versions of Windows XP,called "Fast User Switching". While one user is logged on, another can logon without having to log off the first user. The applications that the first user started will keep running in the background so that he/she can continue where they left off - once the second user logs off again. This is a very clever and potentially useful feature for companies where more than one person may require access to the PC at the same time, without having to constantly log on and off for each user. However, this is not really a useful feature for a dedicated audio system.
