	Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. D-Light users Unite!

	Hopefully I will be able to test some sequences this weekend on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The drivers for the D-Light USB adapter seemed to load fine.

	I'll say that the shimmer doesn't seem to work correctly with the visualizer and Aurora does seem to be a little slower than XP. Edited by Pony_God - 23 Nov 2009 at 9:33am

	If the visualizer seems glitchy (as seen with shimmer, curtain strobes, sluggishness, etc.) then you should reduce the playback resolution and/or FPS in Settings/Playback Options. It is likely that your visualizer is dropping frames.

	Not sure if that helped much or not. 15FPS deffinately hurt. Aurora uses 1152x720 @30 frames. OS resolution is 1280x1024. 1152x720 allowes the image to proportion correctly and fill the screen.

	Try lowering the resolution while keeping 30 FPS.

	It was about the same, smaller picture so it was a bit harder to see though.

	Does this mean that you are currently running Aurora Scheduler on this maching? I am looking for a good low cost machine to dedicate to running my sequences and would love some feedback. I currently have an old IBM T40 computer with 512Mb of ram and it is having issues running 10 songs in my show without hanging up. I am having to drop it to 4 sequences to keep in going. HELP!!!
	Mike What do you mean I have enough lights?

	Would you recommend the Acer Nettop for a scheduler machine.

	I can't recommend a netbook, I've never evn used one... Our show server is a Supermicro 1U server running Windows server 2003 with 2G of RAM and nothing else. You do not need a good video card to run the show, only for sequencing.
