| 811843 | 2009-09-19 04:46:00 | I did somethin' goofy I guess - but that's just me, huh! Somehow I changed the screen effects and now my screen paints SLOWLY going down the screen and not even for an image off the internet . This happens when I get into XP as the desktop paints itself so slow! I am having rendering problems I guess . I have an nVidia GeForce FX 5500 card and I bet something happened to the driver - anyone agree? I need a game plan to correct this if someone has any ideas . |

| 811844 | 2009-09-19 04:51:00 | Step one: reinstall the driver. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 811845 | 2009-09-19 04:57:00 | This is on that 9-hdd media monster. I wanted to do that and I just needed a little shove. Thanks. |

| 811847 | 2009-09-19 05:21:00 | My (defective?) driver was 7.1.7.7, and the new one is supposed to be 7.1.8.4 which my wizard says is older - WOT? I'll try it anyway and se if things get better. I still have the OEM CD I can pop in, I just hate having my desktop all messed up again! Rats! |

| 811848 | 2009-09-19 05:39:00 | No better. It still paints the screen real-slowly! |

| 811849 | 2009-09-19 06:07:00 | I tried it and didn't like it so I went back to the 7.1.7.7 and I bet it's the card itself now. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 811850 | 2009-09-19 06:21:00 | Try uninstalling / reinstalling the card to force windows to redetect it - does that solve your issue? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 811851 | 2009-09-19 07:27:00 | Alternatively, boot into safe mode and see if it still happens. If it doesn't, then its definetly a driver problem, if it does, then this could be the card itself or something else... |

| 811852 | 2009-09-19 08:08:00 | Sounds like the card has reverted to 2D (no 3D acceleration), is it flickering when scrolling? This can happen if your video acceleration (www.deskshare.com) has been turned down/off, also caused by using/reverting to the OS installed Microsoft driver (which only "does" 2D), or maybe your card's overheating/dying (fan still going?), hope this helps. |
