Well I'm married with kids and NO prospects to go out and celebrate tha new years eve thang so I'm just gonna reinstall tha damn XP pro and see if that will clear ALL my glitches I'm havin overall. Besides it's time I do already! 🙁
 
It can't have anything to do with internet since the page is done loading before you scroll.
It's not a huge page, so it loads in no time.
Like Blacken wrote when I scroll the screen acts just as if drivers are not loaded.
Which I know drivers are not the problem.

I'm by far the computer nerd of the house.
It's not even a huge problem
And i'm having a party here,
Yet I have to go up here and check every so often to see what's been said.

Get firefox and get the flashblock plugin. Then you can just load the flash things that you want to look at, and this may solve your problem. The problem here seems directly related to your browser's flash plugin.

@advcomp2019:
Of course they are trying to kill IE6. Its the old version, and IE7 is a free upgrade. They only want to support one program. The same mentality is why they have stopped supporting win 3.1, 95, and 98. IE7, whether you like the interface or not is greatly superior to IE6, especially from a security standpoint, even though its not as great as many of the others out there.

This problem seems to be stemming from Adobe's IE flash plugin. Look for an update from them to see if there is an update to solve this specific problem.

just drink some more and after you dont post for a while
then we will start to laugh and talk $hit about you :lol:

happy new year dude.
 
Another thing I noticed is that while FF takes two more megs of ram when I load it, and the cpu usage is the same on the page, it seems to run so much faster.
I guess I never wanted to switch cause my pc is still killer fast.
But now I see a difference.
 
Just tried the new FireFox2 and it's rather smooth.
Especially compared to IE6.

I was just going to say I tried IE7 and scrolling with the wheel was choppy but with Firefox it was smooth as silk. F.. IE7, I only use it for manual updates.
 
Well, thats definitely his own choice, but eventually he'll have to upgrade, as windows update won't support it, and he'll just have to get used to the advancement of technology. Oh well, that's the price of using computers these days. He'll realize that when you don't use the latest versions of the software you use, you miss out on a lot of things that make the experience better.

That's why they release new versions of software!

Thats good. IE7 is bogged by references and C++ library issues and has been through most of it's versions. Open source really is the way to go - they have no underlying preferences :? Opera has never let me down.
 
That is what I tell him. He is like, once he knows how to run an app, he will not upgrade or change it. He gets lost in any new versions unless the app has the same menus or looks.

I am different. I can handle change, and I like change. It makes the software better, but for some change, it can break the software sometimes.
 
Sounds like my 55 year old unc. Still plays CSS on a 9600xt. I've offered him a BFG 7300GS for free and he won't take it. Not much of a fps booster, but still.
Old and stuck in his ways. :lol:
 
If you are going into any line of work that has to deal with the end user, you better get used to it. Most people, especially older ones will feel the same way, and they don't want some young punk telling them what to do. It's better to let them do it their way and find out for themselves that they need the change.
 
I am used to it. I have a hard drive with old versions of software that I keep for my dad. Most of the software is software that you had to pay for from online. He does like hardware upgrades, but he goes with the cheapest way.
