Hi Barry,
I think the parisfaqs.com has alot of great info, but you are right, there
is no step by step order. It sounds like the best thing I can suggest for
you to focus on is your paris.cfg. Look in the faqs and find the area about
what to change and what suggestions they offer. It makes a world of difference
once those settings are set properly.
You didn't give too much info about your system, so I'll assume you are using
XP... be sure to right click your "my computer" and go into "properties"
and look for "devices". In your devices list will be something like "IDE
ATA/ATAPI Controllers" for 0 and 1. Be sure these are set for DMA and not
PIO. XP loves to default to that PIO junk. Once you change it, reboot!
Lastly, two things to think about or check... make sure your data drive is
a 7200 RPM drive. The slow 5400 or 4200 aren't good drives for Paris i/o
data. And drives are very cheap. Replace it if it is slower than 7200.
The last think I can think of is.. if you are using XP, is to turn crap
off in your services. Which ones? Well, that is hard to cover, but you
can do a google search for audio devices turn off, or something like that.
Here is a quick one and normal devices that hog resources, so turn them
off...

Hope this helps you... Good luck!!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm using XP with a 7200 drive. I'll check the
areas that both of you suggested and see if it makes things run better.
