YES, YES, YES! I'm not a computer technical person but I found the startup files, and I also found some other settings that I tweaked. My computers perfomance has jump up significantly just by changing a few things. I disabled some startup programs, went into the advance settings for my computers performance and set them manually like you said. I also found an NVidia control panel and maxed out the performance on it as well.

I did some tests and so far all is REALLY, REALLY GOOD! I pulled up some of my heavier maya scenes that give me alot of trouble just by rotating in shaded mode. Now they rotate really smooth and effortlessly. And Maya and Camtasia run smoothly together too.

THANK YOU!
