Poor Performance from CD-ROM-Based Program

RESOLUTION

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double- click System.
2. On the Performance tab, click File System.
3. Click the CD-ROM tab.
4. Move the Supplemental Cache Size slider to the right to allocate more random access memory (RAM) for caching data from the CD-ROM drive or to the left to allocate less RAM for caching data.
   
   Note that many multimedia programs perform better with a smaller cache because these program tend not to reuse data.
5. For reading continuous data, such as .avi files, use a higher setting in the Optimize Access Pattern For box. For reading random data, increase the Supplemental Cache Size setting and decrease the Optimize Access Pattern For setting.
6. Click OK, and then click Close. When you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.
