Usage

Launching MegaSPEED Web Accelerator

To launch the MegaSPEED Web Accelerator, locate the application icon in your dock at the bottom of the screen or in your Applications directory. You can typically access the Applications directory by clicking the finder icon in your Dock, select your Hard Drive, and then select the Applications folder. After locating the MegaSPEED Web Accelerator icon, we recommend that you drag and drop that icon into the Dock. This will allow you to easily access this program in the future.

Changing the Image Quality Setting

The image quality setting changes the appearance of images that appear in your web browser. The higher the quality you select, the longer it will take the image to load. For slower Internet connections, it is recommended that you lower your image quality. This slider can be adjusted anytime while browsing.

To adjust the image quality, slide the bar located on the "Images" tab of the Accelerator program. The two sample images on that screen will change to show you how images on websites will look at the current acceleration level. When you are done adjusting the image quality setting, click the Apply button to save your changes.
