Ashley Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Was going to format my computer but Windows gave me the option to repair it, so I thought I'd give it a try. Solved some problems but now if I scroll on a webpage its really laggy and annoying. Its the same on IE and Opera (my browser of choice) so whats going on? Any quick fixes. May end up formatting anyway but just wanted to see. Thanks.
Ashley Posted December 26, 2005 Author Posted December 26, 2005 Why wouldn't it be? They were fine before and now its all laggy. Plus when I startup the login screen appears and a "Please wait while windows starts" message is there for about a minute or two, then it takes ages after I login. All together I usually get through one song on the TV waiting. Might just give up and format.
Mr_Odwin Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Why wouldn't it be? That may be soemthing that windows changes in the fixing process. If you have a well-known brand of card then updated drivers are normally on the Windows update site.
Ashley Posted December 27, 2005 Author Posted December 27, 2005 Well I've updated using Windows Update, and by going on Fujitsu's site (makers of PC) and updating through them but nothing. Still crappy. Dunno what the graphics card is, think its just inbuilt so nothing fancy. Any other ideas? Other weird things too, such as before when I clicked on Display>Advanced there was much more options; ie allowing display between two monitors (or as I used it, monitor and TV)
Mr_Odwin Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 That's the lack of a real graphics driver.
Ashley Posted December 27, 2005 Author Posted December 27, 2005 Seems to be, managed to track down what my graphics card was and eventually fixed it. When I restarted after that it found the graphics card, and also apparently found the monitor. Wonder what it was before. Although now whenever I try and set it to single display a error message comes up and begins a physical dump of memory but I just wont change it to single display for now. Thanks people.
