1. Windows graphics speed question (unrelated)
I'm having some speed problems. Some things in Winblows are running pretty
slow. When I close a window, you can see the animation of the window
shrinking lagging. Or when I cut off the screen saver, it disappears slowly.
Also, when I use certain menu options like opening files in programs, the
stupid desktop icons disappear than reappear. The reason I'm asking is
because some setting was changed with the display... my perverted little
brother tried to save a Brittany Spears bitmap as the wallpaper, then tried
to undo it before I saw it. The reason I knew he screwed up is because he
restored the old wallpaper in tile mode! So, I went straight to display and
looked at the internet explorer wallpaper. Ha, What a loser!
Other than that, I don't think anything else was done. Who knows what he
did when he tried to change it back. All I know is that it's slowing down
Windows graphics.
Thanks

Scan for virus unless the screensaver came from reliable source.
THEN
1. First right click on your desktop ( at a spot where there are no icon )
2. click on properties on menu
3. Set screen saver TAB and set to none ( You don't need screen savers ! )
4. click on setting TAB
5. click on ADVANCED PROPERTY button ( bottom right ).
6. check make sure video adaptor is set for the correct DRIVER
7. click performance TAB make sure acceration is set properly
8. (when you say OK you will return to) SETTINGS TAB
9. Check that color pallette and desktop area and font size.
Your PC will reboot some times depending on what you change.

Derek,
I think what happened is that it activated your "active desktop" which
on my machine eats memory...Turn that off and you might just get back your
speed.
