Graphics flicker in IE 6

[Guest]

I recently installed IE 6 and all of the current updates for it. Now anytime
a graphic loads on a web page, any kind of graphical roll-over occurs, or any
graphic animation plays, the web page flickers (ie: on this newsgroup page,
when I mouse over threads and they highlight, I get a flicker). The actual IE
toolbars and window do not flicker, but the web page being viewed does. Any
solution to this?

Thanks

Hi zibon

First try updating your video driver and see if that helps.

How To Update Video Driver

If you don't know the location of your Video driver, or how to find it:
Location for XP

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 the 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
