My Internet Explorer all of a sudden went ****e on me. Last night, I was browsing and when scrolling it just got real choppy. It also is choppy while in the Windows Explorer, i.e. when dragging open windows. It's not a HUGE problem but it is insanely annoying. I've looked around for hours, installed new drivers, reinstalled Windows, turned on smooth scrolling, everything. Help.
hey chris it happened to me ... i forgot how i fixed it.. but it could be that updated windows thing or something im not sure btw this is tonaaayyyyy!!!!
That's odd because I had a problem with IE last night too. I installed a program that caused IE to not open at all. All I did was restore my computer to the most recent point before it started screwing up. Try that....start-programs-accessories-system restore
Arghhh...I tried installing XP last night to fix it, and thats the earliest point it'll let me restore. Dang it. edit: I have class in like 5 minutes, so I won't be able to respond for like another hour or so, but keep the advice coming. Thanks for y'alls help.
The first thing I would do is close all your progams and then hit ctrl-alt-delete. Should make your task manager pop up. Click on the processes tab. See if there are any programs running that seem to be using a high % amount of the CPU. Your system idle process should be 90 or above.
Nothing worked. I'm just gonna put up with it I guess. Thanks for all your help though EDIT: yay, fixed it. The motherboard driver didn't install with the XP install, so I just had to whip out the mobo disk...thanks again everybody.
