Advanced

Clicking on the corresponding buttons here, takes you to the TuneUp StartUp Manager and TuneUp Proc-

ess Manager modules, which you can use to configure the system startup and manage running programs.

Startup and Maintenance

System Startup

Here you can make general settings about how Windows should proceed when starting up the system.

Under Boot defragmentation, you can enable the Enable boot defragmentation option to specify that files

required for booting should be arranged on the hard disk so that they can be found particularly quickly.

Under Boot logo and error messages you can enable the Do not display original boot logo and error mes-

sages option to specify that Windows should not only suppress the boot logo display but also the display of

error messages during startup.

Under Waiting time for drive check, you can specify how long the user should be given to decide against

running the CHKDSK scan program. This program is launched automatically if the computer was not shut

down properly and checks the integrity of the data on the hard disks.

Exit

Windows XP:

Here, you specify what Windows should do if individual programs have crashed.

Under Waiting time without response, you can specify the time in milliseconds that the system gives the

program to show a response. It will then be ended in the Task Manager or when the computer is shut down.

Under End programs automatically, you can set whether applications should be closed automatically or

whether the End program dialog should be shown.

Desktop and Taskbar

Here you can make settings regarding the stability of the desktop and taskbar.

Under Desktop & taskbar in separate process, you can enable the Run desktop and taskbar in a separate

process option to increase the stability of the system if Explorer crashes. This increases stability, but requires

an additional 8 MB of disk space.

Under Restart desktop & taskbar automatically, you can enable the options to ensure that both the desk-

top and taskbar are restarted again automatically if they should crash. This means that the system remains

operational.

Errors

Here you can specify how the system should behave in the event of errors.

Under Audible error message, you can enable the Give audible signal for errors option to specify that the

system should make a sound if there is an error message or incorrect entry.

Under System errors, you can select from the dropdown list what should happen if the system has been

stopped due to a critical system error. You can also specify that the event should be entered in the system

log.

Under Error reporting, you can specify whether Windows should send an error report to Microsoft fol-

lowing a crash. This will communicate not only information about the error but also information about your

system.
