I just upgraded to a 500gb hard drive over the weekend and I now find that when I am on the web that when I scroll the pages with either the scroll wheel or the scroll bar on the right side the pages kind of jump down rather than a smooth transition.
With my previous hard drive this did not happen. I do not understand whay this would happen just by changing hard drives. Does anyone have a fix for this? Iwould appreciate any help with this annoying issue.
Thanks
Check if "Use smooth scrolling" is enabled in Tools/Internet Options (Advanced tab in IE, Advanced/General tab in FF)
When you changed hard drives did you also reinstall Windows?
Improper Video Card drivers can cause scrolling issues..
I checked in IE and FF. Smooth scrolling was not checked in IE but was in FF. Now that I have checked off in IE it is still not working the proper way on either.
When the new HD was installed we did imaging with Acronis 2009. So no, I did not have to install Windows again.
I am also having the same issue with Outlook 2007. As I said before, I did not have these issues previously.
Any suggestions?
If it seems to be updated in waves down the screen, then the video driver may have become corrupted or reverted to a generic Windows internal driver, as Steve has indicated. The resulting slow screen updates give laggy scrolling.
I went into IE and FF and un-cheked smooth scrolling and now evrything seems to be fine even Outlook. So I guess I am OK.
Thanks for the help.
