Need Computer help (and I'm a tech!)

[BlueJazz]

Geez, this is embarrassing, me being a MCSE and computer tech but in
my defense, I've never encountered this before.

I installed Windows XP pro on my Sony laptop (GRX-520..fairly new)

Anyway, everything works like it should and I mean everything EXCEPT,
When I'm on a site like DU with long pages, every time I scroll down to
see posts etc, I get these "waves" like the page is refreshing instead
of scrolling smoothly (like my desktop).
I can read it and all that but it seems to "jerk" a lot.

I checked the Task Manager and the processes and I'm only using 4-7 percent so it's not the processor bogging down.
I'm Stumped...any ideas?

1. You checked

for a video driver update, right?

2. Try this:

Go to your Control Panel, and choose Display Properties...
Go to the Appearance Tab
Hit the Effects button
Check "Show Window Contents While Dragging"

Good luck!

3. No, no, do this

-Go to your Control Panel, and choose Display Properties...
-Go to the Appearance Tab
-Uncheck the "Jerk" box

Hope that helps

5. But, But, But...

6. Yes

and while your at it, uncheck the box called "Bush" next to the President of the United States. Change to "Gore"

7. Damn. It won't let me change it

Damned GOP software.

4. Definitely update both the video card driver and the monitor driver

One or the other is probably using the generic default driver, and doesn't play well with it.

8. Yea!..I searched to Sony site and they had..

...a "Fix" for it.

Thanks to All!!

9. Get a MAC, Dude

You won't have that problem again.

Buying a PC was your first mistake.
