I recently had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall
WinXP, and cannot figure out what setting is now different
and where to change it.
An example of the problem is that when I navigate through a
folder by using the left and right arrows, going from column
to column, the movement is "jerky" and slower than it was
before. Another example is if the folder has a lot of files,
and the first file is selected, when I hit Ctrl + End, I see
the screen move through all of the columns, in a jerky
fashion, until it gets to the last file. Before I
reinstalled WinXP, the cursor jumped from the first file to
the last one virtually immediately.
This behavior has occurred from the moment I reinstalled
WinXP. In other words, it didn't happen as the result of my
installing other programs.
There may be other, similar things, but the only other one
I've noticed so far occurs in WordPerfect, when the document
has a table. If the left column has, say, only one item
(e.g., a page number), and the right column has numerous
rows (e.g., the text), it used to be that with the cursor in
the left column, hitting the down arrow immediately dropped
me down to the next row. Now, however, the screen jerks its
way down to the next row, as though it's having to scroll
its way through the text in the right column.
Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?
WinXP is otherwise working just fine, and so I'm hoping this
is just some setting or two.
Thanks very much.
