scrolling problem

Can someone help me resolve a scrolling problem with my
new Windows XP? Rather than scrolling line-by-line, the
scroll moves in "waves" across the computer screen. This
happens regardless of the method used to scroll, e.g.,
whether using the mouse or the arrow keys. Thank you.

Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your computer or video card,
search for the Windows XP drivers for your video adapter, download
and install them.

Afterward, right-click on your Desktop and select:
Properties > Setting and adjust your Screen Resolution
settings, then select "Highest (32 bit) Color Quality setting,
and click "apply".

I have the exact same problem here, went and performed the suggested operations, but am still getting the slow "wavy" scroll in browsers, Office applications, and most programs. The only place that I do not have a problem with the "wavy" scroll is in plain text windows such as this reply window or in the response areas.

I am running WinXP Pro on an Athlon XP 2600, 2.3GHz, 512MB RAM, GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (with updated drivers).

Please reply via email as well as here. Thank you.
