* Problem scrolling in IE6.0 and Outlook Express*

[GBrough]

Hi,

Hope you can help me with this problem:
WHile scrolling up and down pages using IE6, small blocks
of text will move around and stick in certain spots on the
page, also pointer arrows will accumulate over time and
remain on page, too. What is this effect called and ANy
ideas about how to remedy this, short of perhaps re-
installing IE6? Seems to occur while viewing text in
Outlook too.

Thanks for the help in advance.

You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
