Optimize CPU usage
================
If your CPU on your computer is still running unusually high while watching Voddler, please check your CPU usage by:

On Windows:
Launch your Task manager (ctrl + alt + delete) and check CPU usage on the performance tab.

On Mac:
Launch your activity monitor by going to ”Applications” and select utilities.

If your CPU usage is above 50% or 100% on a Mac with dual-core processors, try closing any other application that may be using your CPU.


Optimize screen resolution
====================
Please refer to your computer hardware manual for extra help.
There are unfortunately so many available combinations of used hardware that you need to experiment with different resolutions until you find one that works for you.

To change your screen resolution, please do the following steps:

On PC:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. Select the Settings tab.
4. In an area labeled Screen area, Desktop area or Screen resolution you will see your screen size below the slider.
5. Move the slider to the right using the mouse until it reads at least 800 by 600 pixels. If your monitor screens size is 17 inches or larger then 1024 by 768 is the ideal resolution.
6. If there is a Test button, click this to test your new screen resolution. If the test is successful, click OK.
7. Otherwise, click Apply.
   

On Mac:

1. Click the Apple Menu in the top left of the screen, and select Control Panels, and then Monitors.
2. Under Resolution select a resolution of at least 800x600 - if your monitor screen size is 17 inches or larger then 1024 by 768 is the ideal resolution.
3. Close the window by clicking once in the square at the top left corner of the window.
