Visual Effects and Appearance Options Traders that prefer the visual appearance (“look and feel”) of Windows XP over the visual appearance of Windows 7, often select a “Windows Classic” based theme. While this theme does provide the familiar legacy appearance of XP, it introduces an issue where windows and or cells within windows will “flicker”. This is a problem with other “Basic and High Contrast” themes as well. To avoid the flickering, follow the Visual Effects and Appearance Options optimizations listed below: • Select the Start globe and then enter “adjust appearance” into the Search programs and files field. • Select Adjust the appearance and performance of windows. • On the Visual Effects tab, click Custom and then uncheck all items except the following: • Enable desktop composition (required to avoid screen flickering) • Show thumbnails instead of icons (optional - many users prefer to leave this enabled) • Show windows contents while dragging (optional – many users prefer to leave this enabled) • Use visual styles on windows and buttons (required to avoid screen flickering) • Click OK.
Windows Performance Settings • Ensure workstations are set to automatically adjust for best performance. • To access this setting, select the Start globe and then enter “appearance” into the Search programs and files field. Select the Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows link. On the Visual Effects tab and select Adjust for best performance and then select the following checkboxes (if they exist): “Enable Aero Peek”, “Enable desktop composition”, and “Use visual styles on windows and buttons”. Click OK. • Disable ALL unnecessary startup items within the System Configuration –Startup tab. • To access this setting, select the Start globe and then enter “system configuration” into the Search programs and files field. Select the Startup tab and deselect all items that are not necessary as startup items. TT recommends leaving Guardian, trading applications, and antivirus software selected.
