Windows Explorer jitter

[Rick]

Have Windows XP 2003. For no reason that I am aware of, suddely when I open
my browser the home page begins eradic jittering. This could happen if I go
to other sites too. If I click on the task bar at the bottom, that will
cause the browser to settle and then it's anyone's guess if it will start
again. I have searched this site and found nothing that sounds like 'jitter'.

Any thoughts?

Hi Rick,
Make sure your Screen resolutions set to the right settings according to the
Monitor secs!
Download the latest driver for your Video Card.
What type of mouse you have? Make sure the Middle wheel not stuck or active
for scrooling that can cause Jittering too.
Also make sure you don't have a refresh rate set to high.

Did you scan this amchine for malware and viruses?

"Windows XP 2003" - what's that when it's at home?

As well as nass's advice: Is this just happening with Internet Explorer
(which I think you meant in your subject, not "Windows Explorer")? If it
happens with other windows, check for nearby electrical appliances such as a
fan, or ones plugged into the same power socket. That wouldn't explain the
timing, though.

nass & Olorin - thanks for responding. I went to the HP link and downloaded
the latest driver for my monitor and when I went to install the driver I
recieved an error message from Microsoft similar to what is shown on your
'Windows XP Help and Support' link. I am certain that I have the right
driver but - for whatever reason I am unable to install. Tried multiple
times, rebooted and tried again - nothing. Any thoughts? Am thinking that
this jitter began when my son figured out he could play video games on-line.
(Thanks for your responces - I really appreciate it)

can we have the exact error messages and laso try to check the monitor
resolutions by going to the Display Properties.

From your reply about your son played game online, either the game chnaged
the screen refresh Rates or a malware is the culprit here!

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

Success! I followed your advise Nass and here is the summary for anyone who
may benefit. Problem: Internet Explorer would 'jitter' when I clicked on my
favorites (book marked links) and by that I mean I really could not do
anything when this occurred other than start over.

I did a system recover per Nass' suggestion. Problem came back rather
quickly (~1/2 day).

Went to the 'Manage Add-ons' suggestion below - bingo. I didn't realize it
but so many sites and software had been added that the add-ons were piling up
and competing every time I attempted any type of manuevering in Internet
Explorer. I did not experience this problem with any other program on my PC.

Thanks again guys! - one less thing....
