After successfully boosting your system you can set some elements back that you need or will need – you must try –it’s the only way.
Mixing mp3 files is a Real-Time Job, ASIO drivers need a clean System to act with low latency.
So, a fresh and clean Install of Xp without other programmes is recommend. :
It is also possible to install a 2nd Installation of XP on your System.( If you use a tool for partitioning you can create an other primary partition this will take the letter E: or F: ….Xp will also install a Bootmanager automatically (Boot.ini)
On your "Real-Time Audio System" there should not work any desktop-firewall,ICQ, virus scanner, Printerdrivers, Adobe reader, Office package at systemtray (excapt your setup is pretty stable and u have no probs...) Deinstall the stuff and use it on an other pc or other partition. :!:
Be sure that your XP has newest Servicepack (@moment it is 2) and all available Updates, also for WindowsMediaPlayer (11) and directX (9.0C 08/2007)
.
Be sure that your chipset, vga, and sounddrivers are up to date, visit the Homepage of your Notebook vendor for support/download newest drivers.
Go!
Disable screensaver!!!
Go to Poweroptions to set energy saving sheme to “always on” and the following 3 Settings to “Never”
Disable Hibernating (Ruhezustand in german)!!!
Disable System restore . If this task starts automatically it takes a lot of CPU load. I prefer imaging tools like Norton Ghost, True Image….. to make a Backup of the whole Partition.
Disable of course WLAN and Bluetooth and Infrared in Bios or Devicemanager.
Also 1394 (Firewire) if not used and other devices that are useless for your Megamachine
(Printerports, Ethernetadapter, serialport, Modem)
If u are in Devicemgr also disable “ACPI-Kontrollmethoden-Batterie” (don’t know about the entry in English…I bet you´ll find it ;-)
Then on Every of the USB Root Hubs deactivate the option of “computer can turn off the device to save energy” (translated by myself…sorry)
In controlpanel select system then Advanced to disable swapping (pagefile.sys) if u got 512MB Ram or more. (good to avoid pagefaults).Otherwise dont let Windows calculate the size, use factor 2 of your RAM.
Klick one step back to the Performance settings to set the Visual Effects to (set to best performance).
Prozessor scheduling should be set to background prozesses cause ASIO Drivers works in Background and gets so the best latency.
Klick start /run – type msconfig klick startup apps and disable all you do not really use.
On the services tab you can carefully disable all services that are not from Microsoft (3rd party services)
Now you should have a stable real-time audio device, check the system with :
dpc latency checker.www.thesycon.de
I got a systemlatency @ max 60 microseconds (not milli, micro!) and setted the ASIO to 14 milliseconds....this is fast enough for me.
Please make a test with the free tool MP3Test www.shivi.de to scan your mp3 files.
You will be surprised how many files are corrupted over the years.
