| Slow scroll My PC scrolls really slowly on the forum, it doesn't seem to do this with other web pages. The refresh as you scroll can be seen moving visibly down the page (ie very slowly) like a ripple and then the page catches up Has anyone else reported this? |

 | What browser and version are you using? Also what Operating System? One of the things that it can be is that the graphics and sidebars can take some time to load. I have a slowness when I am RDP'd into one machine to another, but otherwise, it seems to be fine.

  | Yep, same as Eric, no problems with scrolling. Only time there is a slight lag is when I use remote desktop to use my desktop from my laptop.

| I have encountered the problem when I had running the Windows Media Player and listening to music.Also got a "grainy" scroll at a few threads only without any reason.But I still use Win98 and IE6SP1 with many updatings.

| I do not have any problems when viewing the site, but I also use Firefox. I gave up on IE a while ago. Too many problems with it, especially security reasons. Firefox is a faster browser anyhow. Have you checked the performance of your computer? Try switching to firefox. It is free and quick to download.

| I don't seem to have any issues with the site on this machine or my laptop. It loads quickly and navitages well. I am running DSL (wireless on the laptop). This machine is running XP Pro v.2002 (SP2) with IE6.0.2900 and my laptop is a pentium II (233MHz) running Win98SE & IE5.5 Perhaps you have something running in the background that's hogging your system's resources?

I've loaded SP3 and IE8 I was going to back-load IE7 and see if the problem was with the new browser but it tells me it can't, there's a newer version on board. I've watched my task manager Performance whilst scrolling web pages and I only see erratic occupancy readings for the CPU, nothing in Processes looks out of the ordinary | |

| Technically, there is a way to uninstall IE8 if it was installed after SP3... Check MS' support article for the steps: How do I uninstall or remove Internet Explorer 8? Hope you get it squared away!

| Undoubtedly the proble was caused by something running in a background.I have been working using my daughter's laptop with Vista OS and there wasn't any trouble.It seems that the forum PHP code fits better to NT systems, also to others than IE net browser.

If this is not the problem, then IE can be the problem. I hugely recommend Mozilla Firefox as a browser. It's free and faster than IE, especially the new 3.5 version. I use it on my Windows and on my Linux OS on both systems without any problems. On Linux it's even faster than on Windows, though.

| Well I'm back in the land of normal-speed page refresh I pushed the hardware acceleration slider all the way over to the left and everything's good. That's:- Desktop (Right click)\Properties\Settings\Advanced\Troubleshoot Attempting to increment it back up the scale to the point of failure fell at the first hurdle. If you're suffering from this frustrating problem it might also be worth looking in on your MSConfig file Start\Run\(type) MSConfig on the General tab, make sure the Normal Startup option is selected.
