Hello! I have noticed that my computer stops crunching when I play fullscreen games. How do I change the options so my computer work even if I play games?

Regards Kalle.

you cant.. einstein only uses your cpu's unused cycles. when you dont need it then einstein gets it.. when for example you play a game then you need the cpu and einstein backs out of the way. if einstein where to run all the time no matter what youd get mad at it pritty fast. dont worry, unless you play games for several hours a day its not going to have a "hudge" impact on the work output you generate :)

seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.

Also make sure that you are

Also make sure that you are set up to do work while computer is in use in your general preferences (set on the website).
