Speeding up apps?

[Liam72]

Hi, I'm running an application (in developer) with a Flash activeX control as the main feature, just wondering if they were any ways of speeding it up - I have set it at 800 x 600 x 16bit - but ot sure which graphics thing to use: Standard / DirectX and would VRam do much??? Hmmm, I will play around but any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks.

Also, try reducing the number of colours from 16 million to a lower setting.
