raunchy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 When i'm on a website, any website .. on either Firefox or IE. When I scroll up or down the page, it lags a lot. Like it's reloading bits of the page im scrolling too. I've got used to it now but it bugs me because its so slow. I've tried checking scroll speed in options but nothing changed. Help?

|Zephyr| Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You get the same problem when you install XP and haven't put on the graphics card drivers yet. Are yours installed? If so, are they up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raunchy Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 You get the same problem when you install XP and haven't put on the graphics card drivers yet. Are yours installed? If so, are they up to date? I right-clicked my video card in device manager and clicked update drivers but it found none. I got a crappy Nvidia Geforce4 MX 440.

|Zephyr| Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 If your running windows XP go HERE and download it from the 'primary download site' Make sure you save it to disk When downloaded open the file and the driver will start updating. If you are using a different OS let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmellyJelly Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Are you sure you installed it correctly? I'm just making sure because I would have guessed that the problem is your drivers fault too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManFromMars Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You need to update your graphics drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-slash Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You need to update your graphics drivers. Thanks for that contribution, however we've sort of already come to that conclusion (twice) and it didn't seem to work for him. Any other ideas?

SmellyJelly Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I guess he could try updating his other drivers and see if that helps. Scan your computer to make sure you don't have any viruses and stuff. I honostly doubt this will work, but if you have very little hard drive space left then try uninstalling something. Make sure you don't have something hogging all your memory.

millermagic Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm pretty sure its not video drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Knife Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm pretty sure its not video drivers. Why? Not having the correct video drivers installed will do this. I have experienced it myself. I'd say download a driver cleaner program, and get rid of all your video drivers, and install the latest ones fresh.

FiShMaStEr Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 just go download the drivers from the actual website of the company who made your graphics card, dont rely on windows to give you proper ones, some gfx cards only work with their manufacturers cards. also just extract the drivers somewhere, and then delete the graphics card and restart. when it says installing it might ask for drivers, if it does browse to the folder where you extracted the drivers, if it doesnt just install the drivers from the website.

I already lead him to the manufacturors site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
