Scrolling Problems
I am having problems when scrolling on and off the web. I
am getting a "studder" effect when scroll a page. I even get this effect on the marque of my screen saver. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm running an XP upgrade from Windows ME. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Scrolling Problems
Well...
You can do some things that may make things a bit better, but what kind of graphics card are you using? How much RAM does it have? Without knowing the specifics, I can only be very general. But before you go spend any money, try the following: 1) Right-click on the desktop, and select Properties 2) Then select the Appearance Tab 3) Then Effects Are most of the items checked on? If so, try turning off the fancy features, such as transition effect, shadows, and show contents while dragging. They consume resources that your video card might be short on, yet are not critical for operation. Say OK to accept the changes you make. Now select the Settings tab. Consider adjusting your color quality down one notch, if you can accept that. (say, 16-bit instead of 32-bit) 256-colors will not be very pleasant. Consider setting your resolution to 800x600, instead of 1024x768 (if it's set that high) -- you'll need to rearrange your icons later if you change that. These should help improve video performance, but a speedier card may be your best bet. They are getting very inexpensive for 64MB cards. Good luck, post back if you like, with more details on your card, and whether these suggestions helped. -Lawrence in Seattle "Aldon Black" wrote in message ...
