i have a computer that lags when scrolling thru stuff like IE, or even just lager folders. i just reformatted, and that was the first thing i checked (it was running 20 processes when i checked) i have read some of the other posts like mine and have tried them all out (deleted cookies, defrag, stuff in BG....)
Specs:
ASUS A8V motheroard
1 GB corsair value select RAM
150 GB HDD
AMD 3500+
just upgraded from a 64 MB ASUS graphics card to a 256 MB ATI Radeon 9550
there are no viruses as i just reformatted
this computer is used mostly for surfing the internet and word processing.
i have all the latest video drivers
ran memtest overnight and it reported no problems
what can it be?
thanks,
Jason

yes it was an Nvidia card
i reformatted the whole thing so therre shouldn'd be any drivers on there
and i tested it with only the windows firewall up (thats the least protection i was willing to go with)

Temporarily shut down firewall and antivirus. Those are usually the ones that slow your machine.

A 64 mb video card is real slow for your system. I would go with at least a 256 mb video card to end that problem.

Sounds as in case you bumped off (or damaged) your video reason rigidity. Reinstall it (or redownload it from the producer's internet web site, then installation it). Or it ought to were your mouse reason rigidity, if it purely occurs once you scroll with the mouse. (it may also be that your mouse broke.)

was that 64MB ASUS card a Nvidia card? If so, you need to download a driver cleaner then install the latest ATI drivers.

make sure u clean out the old video drivers before installing the new ones.
or if you already did, reinstall the video drivers

this doesnt help with your question i know, but one thing you said set off the red flags. PLEASE for your computers sake, use firefox instead of IE. its faster and keeps you immune to many viruses that can only get in through IE.

its definatly a video driver problem or you just don't have the drivers installed yet.
