Graphics & animations flicker or disappear

[Guest]

Hello,
I have been experiencing this problem for a while now. In IE6, any type of
animation (flash, etc.) flickers as it moves. Also, on many sites, pictures
and graphics (jpgs, gifs, etc.) will load fine but if I scroll down a page
with pictures on it (say like an online photo album, etc) they will
disappear. Sometime as I scroll back up parts of the pictures will come back,
some will fully come back, some stay gone. This happens on several sites with
different content.
I am running 98SE, with Norton Internet security on DSL. Any recommendatins?

Thanks,
Shawn

Hi Shawn

First - try updating your video driver. IE is really pretty hard on them,
so you may need to get an update.

How To Update Video Driver

If you don't know the location of your Video driver, or how to find it:
Location for XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314854
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/learnmore/updatingdrivers.mspx
or......

Find the information on your video driver. Then go to the website for mfg.
of the video driver and look for the update to download and install. There
may also be a Update Driver button on the dialog box you can use to go
direct to the update download site.

also........

Try reducing hardware acceleration:
Right click on the Desktop on an open area,
Properties>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot
Move the slider back to the left a little and test to see if that helps.
Try it at increments until you get all the way to the left end to see if
that helps.

Hope this helps.
