Changing the Image Quality Setting
The image quality setting changes the quality of images that appear in your
Route24.net Accelerator. The higher the quality you select, the longer it
will take the image to load. For slower Internet connections, it is recommended

browsing.
You can easily obtain full image quality for a particular image (described
below), so don't be overly conservative about lowering your image quality
setting.
-
Right-click on the Route24.net Accelerator system tray icon.
-
Select "Settings...".
-
Select the "Image Quality" tab.
-
Use the slider bar to adjust the image quality setting.

Note: The following information applies only when browsing with Internet
Explorer.
While browsing, if you would like to request the full quality image, simply
right-click on the desired image from within Internet Explorer and select "Show
Original Image" from the menu (shown below).
The full quality image will appear in place of the lower quality image.

Changing the Pop-Up Blocker Settings
Route24.net Accelerator can also prevent pop-up windows and floating flash
advertisements from appearing while you browse the Internet. Pop-ups are blocked
by default, and no user-intervention is required. However, you can
change these features at any time.
A limited number of web sites require pop-ups to function correctly.
Route24.net Accelerator allows you to specify a "White List" of sites where
pop-ups will not be blocked.
You can also see a list of all pop-ups that were blocked. This information is
useful if you suspect a web site is not functioning properly because pop-ups are
being blocked.

Select "Pop-Up Blocker...".

PC speaker beep".
-
To enable the blocking of floating Flash advertisements, check "Block
Floating Flash-Ads".
-
To disable all pop-up blocking for all sites, uncheck "Enable PopUp
Blocker".
-
Press OK to save the settings.
Disabling the Pop-Up Blocker for Specific Sites
-
Right-click on the Route24.net Accelerator system tray icon.
-
Select "Pop-Up Blocker...".

List.

from that site, right-click on the site and click "Add to
Whitelist".
