and video controller..tried rolling back, uninstalling,...problem is my
screen is acting really weird now..when you try to use the scroll bar to the
right to move down a page, it goes real slow and jumps, it does not move
smoothly...anyideas as to what happened and what i can do to correct?

Try re-installing the video card drivers.

This has happened to me twice in the last year,
following an XP update on ALL computers with:
- ATI video cards; Xn050 series or n600 series
- And had 22 inch monitors 1680x1050

What hardware do you have?

I tried reinstalling, but I don't think I know what I am doing...have no idea
what hardware I have...Do you mean video card? It's a diamond PCI..When I go
into device manager and try to correct the problem, windows doesn't find the
driver...asks if I have a disc..Sorry, not super computer literate yet

If you can't find the driver (disk) and don't know how
to download the driver from the manufacturer's web site,
take the computer to a reputable dealer and let him/her
fix it for you.

Diamond is the manufacturer of the video adapter/card, do you know the model
number? If you don't know download:
Everest Home Edition: (Last one offered free)
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads9.html

http://basconotw.mvps.org/dwnlds.htm

Create a new folder named Everest and extract the contents of the download to

that folder.

Open the folder and double-click everest.exe to run the application.

Click the + next to Computer.

Click Summary.

Scroll to the section for your installed devices chip/adapter.

Go to the manufacturers Support > Download site and download the proper drivers for
your device. As well, download or print any Readme/Install file if it is available
as a separate file, it may be included in the downloadable driver file instead of
separately.

Install the drivers per the manufacturers instructions.

If you need further assistance let us know.
