Problems with screen/scrolling- Microsoft windows XP
« on: January 08, 2008, 03:55:07 PM »
I am also having screen problems with my windows XP. My pages are choppy, they break up as I scroll, the page will pause and scroll pause and scroll. I cant play games at all and its a pain to surf the net? Does anyone know what my problem could be? This happened right after I uninstalled some software. I dont know if this is related and how I even check? could someone help me?

What was it?
Did you try System Restore to the date prior to uninstall?
Any errors in Device Manager, regarding video card?
Did you try to reinstall video drivers?

    If you could tell us what you uninstalled that would help a lot.
    Also could you please provide us with the hardware specifications of the computer or a brand name and model number.

      It sounds like she uninstalled the graphics card driver. Unless another graphics card have been added you can get the driver from here.
      Download the VGA drivers, unzip it and run setup.exe.

      To perform System Restore:
      Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. System Restore starts.
      On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time (if it is not already selected), and then click Next.
      On the Select a Restore Point page, click the checkpoint (you think, it was before that programs uninstall) in the On this list, click a restore point list, and then click Next. A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click OK.
      On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.
