98se to XP home upgrade produces jerky video

[Guest]

After upgrading to xp home all moving graphics (no matter what program) run
smoothly for 1 second then stop for 1/10th second then run smoothly for 1
second and so on. System is MSI K7T266 mother board with 1700 Athlon running
at 1.5 MHZ. Graphics card is nvidia geforce FX5500 with latest downloaded
driver. Had a geforce 2 Ti in there B/4 and upgrading to the 5500 made no
difference. All graphics ran very smoothly B/4 I installed XP. Please help
me. None of the Techs I have talked to have any idea about this problem. Help!

When did you last defrag and run diskcleanup?

 

[Guest]

Defraged C drive, loaded latest driver for the mobo chipset, loaded latest
driver for display card, re-seated all cards and both 512 ram sticks in
tower. All to have the same exact problem on any graphics image that moves on
the screen. Please help.

What other programs are running at the same time?

 

[Guest]

No other programs other than the 20 or so pocesses running in the background.
None of which are using graphics. Last night I reloaded XP and there was no
change at all. Even small windows with a moving graphic produce the same
jerky graphics. Even a simple thing to render like Google Earth has the same
effect. When the screen saver changes pictures the transitions have the same
jerky effect. With all the same equipment in the box, and half the RAM, the
graphics were perfect while running 98SE. Should I just dump XP and go back
to 98SE. I really don't want to build another box at this time. Thanks in
advance. Hope you have some ideas for me to try.

The best video here is after shutting down MSN Messenger, AIM, virus checker,
and shuting off the Wi-Fi. No interruptions is the goal.

The audio card and the video card are both using IRQ 16. Un-plugged audio
card and there was no change. Not running any of the services you listed.
Will forcing a standard NON APIC HAL on re-installation of XP, and calling
out a different IRQ for the video card, correct the problem?

Try the audio card in the PCI slot FURTHEST away from the graphics card.

 

[Guest]

That's where the card has always been. Tried taking the card out altogether
but there was no change at all. I'm going to try it in slot 4 tonignt and see
what happens. But at this point I'm loosing hope in a positive outcome.

 

[Guest]

I put the audio card in slot 4 and there was no change in the graphics
performance. But, on the plus side, the video card no longer has to share an
IRQ with anything. That was kind of my last hope for anything logical about
hardware interuptions. Unless there is something Windows is not telling me.
I'm lost.
