This opens Event Viewer and displays the events in the Operational container as shown in Figure 13-46. Examining a critical error shows that for example the Canberra computer had a problem during the boot process. FIGURE 13-46 Viewing performance diagnostic events in the Operational container NOTE DEVICE DRIVERS If a device is not working properly then this has an effect on performance that is often catastrophic. You need to ensure that in general the latest device drivers are installed for all your devices. The exception is when a new device driver does not work as well as its predecessor in which case you need to roll back to the old device driver. Chapter 4 Managing Devices and Disks discusses this topic in detail. NOTE POWER PLANS Power plans and configuring power settings are mentioned in the examination objectives covered in this chapter. However Chapter 11 BitLocker and Mobility Options discusses these topics in depth and there is no point duplicating that material here.

You can also use the tool to configure the processes that implement services. If a process is particularly significant and should be allocated more resources you can set a higher priority for that process. If a process is using too many resources or if the speed at which a process works is unimportant you can assign it a lower priority and hence free resources for other processes. If your computer has more than one processor you can configure the affinity of your processes to use a particular processor. By default processes that install on a multiprocessor computer .
