- "Un-tick" "Keep the task bar on top of other windows"

Mac

- Click on "Dock"
- "Tick" Automatically hide and show the Dock"

For all systems it may also be advantageous to extend the time before the activation of your screen-saver or to disable your screen-saver entirely if you undertake long blocks of processing.
Setting the best default speed for your system
Close all other programs other than EMDR Multi Pro
Alter the speed / smoothness scroll-bars until you find a combination of speed and smoothness settings that generate smooth tracking on your system. NB Image size also affects the speed / smoothness - a larger image will track more slowly and potentially with more juddering, a smaller image will track faster and smoother.
Start with the speed and smoothness scroll-bars at maximum (to the top).
Click on the "Treatment Mode" button to test.
Reduce the smoothness until the tracking speed is slightly too fast, then reduce the speed until the speed is slow enough for normal use. (On this system the speed was 50% and smoothness was 30% with an image size of 70).
When done click on "File" then "Save as default settings" then click "Yes" to overwrite. These speed / smoothness nettings will be used when you next open the program.
