Startup Items
The fewer items in use by your computer, the
more resources are available for Pro Tools LE.
Some startup applications may be consuming
unnecessary CPU resources, and should be
turned off.
If you disable any of the following startup items,
do so carefully:
• Portable media serial number (required for
applications that utilize a copy protection
key)
• Plug and play
• Event log
•Cryptographic services
• DHCP Client, TCP/IP Net BIOS, and other
networking-related items (unless the com-
puter has no network or internet connec-
tion, in which case these items can be
disabled)
To Disable System Startup Items:
1 From the Start menu, choose Run.
2 Type “msconfig” and click OK. The System
Configuration Utility opens.
3 Under the General tab, choose Selective
Startup.
4 Deselect Load Startup Items and click OK.
5 Click Restart to restart the computer.
6 After restarting your computer, a System Con-
figuration message dialog is displayed. Check to
see if Pro Tools performance has increased be-
fore you deselect the “don't show this message
again” option. If performance has not changed,
run “msconfig” and return your computer Selec-
tive Startup back to Normal Startup. Alterna-
tively, try disabling start up items and non-
essential processes individually.
Norton Ghost is highly recommended, as it
lets you save your system in a working state
and easily revert to that state should you ac-
cidentally disable anything that your com-
puter needs.

mantec Web site (www.symantec.com)
