I have a problem with jerky motion that i would describe as ' 2steps forward
1 step back'. It can affect a single object moving against a static background or the full screen picture in both vertical and horizontal motion. Anything more than gentle motion is jerky. For example: a race car approaching a corner, perspective means low speed down the screen and the car is in clear focus then, as the car turns into the corner, it immediately becomes a blur as this '2 steps forward 1 step back' motion kicks in. If the camera follows the car round the corner the car can remain clear and the background become jerky. The picture quality is good apart from this jerky motion. This problem first appeared in games, but has now become so bad it affects USB tv and internet streaming as well. It appears with different monitors. It appears with both on-board graphics and PCIe card. Changing screen resolution and refresh rate has no effect. I have tried different FSB rates between 200 and 250 Mhz, setting RAM/FSB to 1:1, both MIPS options and PCI latency settings. I have run Prime95 in the background when the CPU temp rose from less than 40c to above 60c. Installing SP3 and the 2008 Dx update made no change. The DX diag tests run correctly. Nothing that i have done makes any difference to this condition. All this time the computer has been stable with no freezing or errors. Help needed. Thanks JSP |

Do some maintenance: Disk Cleanup, Error Checking, Defrag... Upgrade your video driver. Install more RAM. -- John Inzer I have had this problem for several weeks and i have covered all those. IE clears the cache at closure so there is only ever a few KB to cleanup. I have run error checking at startup and defragged. I have re-installed the latest driver from Intel for the 945G integrated graphics. I have tried all the ATI drivers from 8.2 to 8.5 (with and without the CC) for the ATI 1650 pro PCIe card. I have 2GB of PC6400 RAM. I have run SFC and then gone to Windows update, but there was nothing unexpected so i assume the Windows installation is good. I have always kept Windows up-to-date. I have changed the page file from custom to system controlled. C:\ is 14.6GB with 5.2GB free and with 2GB of RAM i guess the page file doesn't get used much. I have re-installed the games and the USB tv software and have a fresh installation of the BBC iplayer. I have run it at 200MHz and just the USB tv when the CPU was at just under 40c and the system at just over 30c. I have run it at 250MHz with the USB tv and Prime95 when the CPU was at 60+c and the system at ~ 53c without any lockups or crashes or errors in Prime95. If there was a fault on the motherboard i would have thought that would reveal it. I have just about run out if ideas. JSP |

It also may be worth a try to reduce your Graphics Hardware Acceleration: How to set graphics hardware acceleration back http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00129.htm Another possible location for memory hogging temp files is explained in the following tutorial from Yves Alarie: Files downloaded from the internet or e-mail may be in a subfolder of your Temporary Internet Files folder. The folder name will start with OLK and there will be a number after OLK. The easiest way to find this folder is to search for OLK* and once found open it and see if the files are there. Click on Start and Search and then: All files and folders More advanced options Search system folders Search hidden files and folders Search subfolders In the top textbox "All or part..." type in exactly this OLK* and click search This search will take a while but should return all folders starting with OLK. Open the folders, select the files and delete. They will go to your Recycle bin, delete them from there also. Or, hold the Shift key down when you delete them in order to prevent them from going into your Recycle bin. -- John Inzer |

I installed a game on the other computer and even with Win 98 and a PCI graphics card it was clear that these jerky movements were not there on either monitor. I couldn't find any OLK.* files. I've had trouble using disc cleaners so i no longer use them. I did a search for .tmp files and found 17.3MB. Even if i was able to find all the superflouous, redundant and duplicated files i would probably gain just a few MB of disc space but i would risk damaging the system. I found a program called Sequoiaview that revealed a 2GB Memory.DMP file, which i have removed. So i now have a computer with 7GB of free space on the C:\ partion and jerky graphics. Can you think of anything else, i'm stumped. JSP |

Maybe you have a compatibility issue with some of your software. Sometimes virus scanners can cause issues. -- John Inzer |

Try setting up the computer with as few background programs and services as
possible. IE No internet or network connection and the associated software support, including such things as zone alarm, antivirus, UP&P, etc. As few devices as possible should be connected to the computer. Eliminate any non necessary "services" . In the process, task manager will likely be quite useful. "JSPIPE" wrote in message ...
