    just done a complete flatten and re-install of xp-pro
    ( i know, you were wondering where i went........ :rolleyes: )
    now i seem to have this 'wobbly effect' when scrolling down a web page.
    the page kind of 'ripples', is there a setting i have missed, wasn't like this before. :mad:

    tia.... GEM

    Have no idea of what you are talking about. Do you have a screenshot or some way of seeing what is happening?

    Are you sure you dont need a custom driver ? that was wiped with the format. That would be my first guess.

    Latest DirectX.
    Via 4-in-1 drivers (Hyperion) if you run an older Athlon/Duron system.
    Latest Video Card drivers.

    Check refresh rate. That can mess up a lot of stuff...

    ....drivers was the problem.
    i was busy working through all the tons of critical updates, and installing the service pack. then directx 9c etc...then other software updates...then office updates..and lastly.....hardware.
    So i got to it in the end.
    Funny ...the graphics seem different on xp-pro......crisper :confused:

    cheers guys

    nice try, but wouldn't have a mac if it was FREE, or if you paid me to have it.
    but lets not go through that argument again..there's way too many threads already :D :D

    I'm thinking of getting a 15 inch powerbook plus a 23" extra screen... They look the bollocks. Then maybe a Mini for in the living room as a media station hooked up to another 23". Taht'd be cool.

    Bloody Brits..I will have you know that we are plenty advanced. In fact we have movie theaters and everything. I am going to see a brand new Sci Fi film called "Star Wars" or something.

    It doesn't look all that good and I imagine it will be a flop but what the heck, right?
