Propel Accelerator Basics

The Propel Accelerator can display several "states" or activities. These states are represented as an icon in the Windows taskbar area near the system clock where all programs display their state. Here are the various Propel Accelerator icons with their state:

Activity State	Image	Description
Enabled		When running and enabled the Propel Accelerator icon depicts a blue-on-blue propeller.
Active		When actively sending or receiving information or other data to the Internet using HTTP, moving arrows replace the propeller.
Disabled		When Propel Accelerator is disabled, the propeller icon has a red circle around it and a line through it.
High Speed Connection Detected		Propel Accelerator is not active when you are connected to the Internet using a high-speed connection.
Temporarily Unavailable		A special state can occur if the Propel Accelerator is temporarily unavailable. A small yellow triangle appears to let you know that Propel Accelerator is still enabled, but your Internet experience is not being accelerated.

Note: The Propel Accelerator icon may not immediately reflect state changes. This is normal. For the most accurate and up-to-date information run Propel Accelerator diagnostics.

Using Propel Accelerator System Tray Menu

Clicking on the Propel Accelerator icon will display its system tray menu.

Each of these menu options will help you manage your Propel Accelerator connection.
