[Blind-Computing] Adjust Win7 For Best Performance

2010-06-11 Thread David Ferrin
For many years, Microsoft has tried to make Windows look as silky and smooth as 
possible. But looking good soaks up system 

  resources. If you can live without some of the visual bells and whistles, you 
can regain a bit of lost performance. Dig into 

  Start, Control Panel, System And Security, System, and Advanced System 
Settings. Click the Settings button in the Performance 

  section. In the Performance Options pop-up window, you'll see a long list of 
visual elements and effects within Windows 7, 

  most of which are enabled by default as part of the Let Windows Choose What's 
Best For My Computer option. You can select 

  Custom, then pick and choose which items to disable. For a fast, 
slash-and-burn approach, pick Adjust For Best Performance to 

  turn off all effects. This will result in a blander interface but better 
response times, particularly if you use integrated 

  graphics or a trailing-edge graphics card.

Hi David;

This is truly a fine post!  Would you please explain these steps a little 
more clearly?!  I believe Jaws can't read invisible text.  LOL  Take care.
Mike

Well the second post with the complete text included should be a bit more 
clear I would imagine. Just checking to see if you were awake yet with the 
first go around. Maybe I'm not awake yet is the problem.
