Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.5.9
Software Installation
2.1. 3 Minimum PC Specications
The minimum computer specications for using the Lake Controller software are:
▸ 1 GHz Processor (for Intel Atom processors the ‘emulation’ command line option is required - please
refer to “25. Command Line Options” on page 299)
▸ 512 MB RAM
▸ 128 MB video RAM WinXP, ‘emulation’ for Win 7 (ensure latest video drivers are installed)
▸ Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later
▸ A screen resolution of at least 800 x 600 (reduced user experience, with some features not directly
accessible)
2.1.4 Video Card Settings
It is important that the video card is congured correctly to ensure smooth operation of the Lake Controller
software. Incorrect video card settings may result in corruption of Graphics, unusual behavior, or unexpected
exit of the Lake Controller software.
In addition to the settings presented below, please visit your video card manufacturer’s website and
download the latest drivers for your specic video card. The video drivers that come pre-installed with
Windows are often out of date and do not include enhancements provided by the video card manufacturer’s
drivers. Almost all video card issues can be resolved by updating your video card driver to the latest release
version.
It is highly recommended that the video card driver
is updated to the latest version if you encounter any
Graphical problems when using the Lake Controller
software.
For optimal results, please ensure the follow settings are made on your Lake Controller PC:
▸ A display resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or greater is recommended. Resolutions of 800 x 600 and
1024 x 600 pixels are supported, but provide a lower-quality interface with some features less acces-
sible or unavailable.
▸ Color should be set to 32-bit (does work with 16 bit, but screen minimize / maximize is faster with a
32-bit color mode setting).
▸ 3D Acceleration set for best performance with anti-aliasing turned off.
