Hans,
OK, geen video's dus... Verhoog dat percentage dan maar naar 90%. Dat is alvast één.
Twee: Volg alle opdrachten uit die Wings in de Help omschrijft als je met Vista werkt.
Ik heb de Engelse tekst voor je hier:
Recommended measures
The settings listed below are useful and are mostly made in the Control Panel. We suggest leaving this dialog open all the time.
Turning the Welcome Center off
After every start of Vista the Welcome Center usually appears and should definitely turned off for presentation PCs used for installations.
Click on the Windows icon and select Control Panel.
Double-click the Welcome Center and clear the check box next to Run at startup at the bottom of the dialog box.
Settings for visual effects, driver updates and remote desktop Visual effects
Click on the Windows icon and select Control Panel.
Double-click System and click Advanced System Settings.
Confirm any messages that may come up with Continue.
On tab Advanced click the Settings button under Performance.
Click Adjust for best performance. Close the dialog by clicking OK.
If you should find out that important functions have been turned off you can turn them on again individually in the above dialog box. In our experience, the "colorful world of Vista" uses up less computer capacity than one might suspect.
Hardware
Click tab Hardware and click Windows Update Driver Settings.
Enable Never check for drivers when... and the close the dialog box by clicking OK.
Now that the automatic search function for drivers has been disabled, you may have to perform a search manually.
Remote
Now click on tab Remote and clear the check box next to Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer.
Click OK and close this System dialog box, too.
Disabling the screen saver
Screen saver and energy saving measures may seriously affect the presentation run on a presentation PC.
Click on the Windows icon and select Control Panel.
Double-click Personalization and click Screen Saver.
Under Screen saver click None, followed by clicking OK.
Setting up power options
The follow steps allow you make numerous settings for power management:
Click on the Windows icon and select Control Panel.
Double-click Power Options, select High performance and click on Change plan settings below.
Now click Change advanced power settings: In this dialog make the following modifications:
Additional Settings - Require a password on wakeup No
Hard disk - Turn off hard disk after Never
Sleep - Sleep after Never
Sleep - Allow hybride sleep Off
Sleep - Hibernate after Never
Power buttons and lid - Power button action Shut down
Power buttons and lid - Start menu power button Netzschalter und Laptopdeckel - Energiespartastenaktion Shut down
PCI Express - Link state Power management Off
Display - Turn off display after Never
Display - Adaptive display Off
Multimedia settings - When sharing media Prevent idling to sleep
Close the dialog by clicking OK.
Adjusting automatic playback and sounds
In the Control Panel, click AutoPlay.
Set all media to No action and click Save.
Since your audience will not be very pleased to hear Windows system sounds you should switch them off:
In the Control Panel click Sound and click the Sounds tab.
Under Sound Scheme select entry No sounds.
Clear the check box next to Play Windows Startsound and click OK.
If the beep sounds from your Vista computer tend to get on your nerves, e.g. when clicking the Media Pool, turn them off:
Click on the Windows icon and select All Programs - Accessories - Run.
In the field enter regedit and click OK. Confirm any messages that may come up with Continue.
In the dialog on the left, open the following tree structure: HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Control Panel and highlight Sound.
In the window right-click Beep and select Modify.
In field Value enter No and click OK.
Removing folders from the index
Vista automatically stores information about the contents of certain folders to keep track of the files on the computer. A presentation computer definitely does not need any index searches. This is why you should remove the folders in question from the index.
In the Control Panel, click Indexing Options.
Click Modify followed by Show all locations.
Click Change selected locations list, followed by Options. Confirm any messages that may come up with Continue.
In the field below highlight a folder, clear the check box to remove the folder from the index.
Repeat these steps until all folders have been removed.
Close the dialogs by clicking OK or Close.
Disabling automatic hard disk defragmentation
After a pause of approx. 30 minutes Vista automatically starts hard disk defragmentation. This might lead to problems during a presentation. The defragmentation result achieved such is also anything but good. This is how you can turn off automatic defragmentation:
In the Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, followed by Task Scheduler.
In the dialog on the left, open the following tree structure: Task Scheduler (Local) - Task Scheduler Library - Microsoft - Windows and highlight Defrag.
In the window at the top you will find a Scheduler entry which you delete by right-clicking it.
Close the Task Scheduler dialog.
It's a good idea to use a good defragmentation program, e.g. O&O Defrag and defragment the hard disk after playing all media but before actually starting the presentation.
Setting SATA controller to AHCI mode
When Windows is installed, Bios is usually set to IDE mode. AHCI mode is usually the more up-to-date and more efficient mode. It supports hot-plugging of eSATA hard disks and NCQ (native command queuing), so that the controller is enabled to make simultaneous requests to the hard disk, which in turn optimizes the order in which the commands are executed. However, NCQ must also be supported by the hard disks, which is usually the case with newer models.
Normally, AHCI mode in Bios must be set during SATA configuration before Windows Vista is installed to allow the corresponding drivers to be enabled. With Vista already being installed, you can check in Bios or the Windows Control Panel whether AHCI mode is active. If this is not the case, AHCI mode can also be enabled without reinstalling Windows by resorting to a little trick.
In the Windows Control Panel double-click the Device Manager and click the plus sign in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI-Controller. Below it entry Standard AHCI1.0 Serial ATA Controller should be visible. If this AHCI entry does not exist, you will not be able to enable AHCI mode. Close the System Properties.
Click the Windows symbol and select All Programs - Accessory - Execute.
In the field enter regedit and click OK. Confirm any messages that may come up with Continue.
In the dialog on the left, open the following tree structure: HKEY_LOCAL_Machine - System - CurrentControlSet - Services and highlight msahci.
Double-click entry Start, change the value from 4 to 1 and click OK.
While rebebooting the system open Bios. Now change the SATA configuration mode from IDE to AHCI.
Save the Bios settings, reboot again and wait for Vista to appear. It will take a little while for Vista to install the new drivers after which you will be requested to reboot again.
Graphics card and drivers
For smooth playback of high-resolution HDAV shows a high-quality, fast 3 D graphics card with a lot of graphics memory and an up-to-date driver are highly important. Color rendering must be set to a minimum color depth of 24 bits. For fluent movements and panning, the refresh rate should match the display and the frame rate of the video. See also Media integration.
Right-click some free space on the Windows desktop, select Personalization and click Display Settings at the bottom.
Under Colors click and select Highest (32 bits).
In order to adjust the Refresh rate click on Advanced Settings and tab Monitor. For usage with video projectors or LCD displays always choose a Screen refresh rate of 60 Hz. For tube monitors a value of 75 Hz, for usage with PAL videos 100 Hz and 60 or 90 Hz for NTSC videos (a multiple of the frame rate of the videos used). See also Media integration.
Properties and graphics card type, as well as driver version and date can be determined via the Microsoft system info. See System info....
Current DirectX version
Wings Platinum 3.50 requires at least DirectX 9.0c of November 2007 to execute the program. If you should have problems, we advise you to get the latest DirectX update which can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. DirectX is also available on the Wings Platinum DVDs, although this may not be the latest version.
Useful measures
Here you will find a few recommendations that are not absolutely necessary but that may facilitate working with media and Wings Platinum.
Turning off the sidebar
Click on the Windows icon and select Control Panel.
Double-click the Windows Sidebar Properties and clear check box Start Sidebar when Windows starts.
Adjusting folder options
Click on the Windows icon and select Control Panel.
Double click Folder Options and click the View tab.
Under Hidden files and folders click option Show all files and folders.
Clear the check box next to Hide extensions for known file types.
Click OK.
It is a good idea to adjust the folder views for different contents to meet your requirements.
For this purpose, adjust the folder view (e.g. for files, images or videos) as desired.
Then click Organize and select Folder and Search Options.
Select the View tab and click Apply to Folders.
Repeat these steps for all types of folders (files, images, videos, etc.)
Turning off ClearType font
Windows Vista uses so-called ClearType font technology which may lead to unclear and bold representation of the main menu in Wings Platinum. This is how you turn off ClearType font:
Right-click some free space on the Windows desktop, select Personalization and click Window color and Appearance.
At the bottom click Open classic appearance properties ....and Effects in the next dialog box.
Clear the check box next to Use the following method to smooth edges... and close the dialog box by clicking OK.
Please bear in mind that the text displayed in other programs, e.g. Microsoft Word may be less clear and sharp.
Nou Hans, daar ben je wel even zoet mee...
Ugh! (Succes!)
