Guy ATkinsin blogista: High Priority Mode for Perseus: A Step-by-Step Guide DateTuesday An easy way to help Perseus run more smoothly on a computer that is being taxed by its CPU requirements is to force the Perseus.exe program to run in "high priority" mode. On my slowest computer (AMD Athlon XP 2400+, 2.0 GHz, 2 Gb RAM), the newest version of Perseus runs noticeably better when I run it in high priority. Here's how: 1. Right-click on a Perseus Desktop shortcut and click on "properties" 2. In the Target field, insert the cursor to the far left of the text you see (just before the quotation mark) and enter the following: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start "runhigh" /high 3. There should be a space between the /high and the opening quotation mark of the original content in the Target field. For instance, on my own computer the full text string becomes: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start "runhigh" /high "C:\Program Files\Microtelecom\Perseusv10f\perseus.exe" 4. Click OK and you're done! Now when you launch Perseus from the Desktop, Windows will give Perseus a higher operating priority among all programs and processes that are running on your computer. The change to high priority with the cmd.exe in the above path also changes the shortcut's icon to the command prompt icon. To change the icon back to the Perseus graphic, do this: 1. Right-click on the Perseus Desktop shortcut and click "properties" 2. Click "change icon..." 3. Using the Browse button, navigate to the Perseus.exe executable file on the hard drive; select it, and then click Open, and then click OK. Finally, click OK again to exit the shortcut properties dialog box. The icon will change back to the original Perseus icon.
