Slow Graphics

[bowrabob]

I assembled an MSI all in one...256 ddr 2700...1300 duron cpu...the graphics are quite slow...I done the same setup with another pc and it ran fine....what do I look for to speed up the graphics ?

What is an MSI all in one?

A board with onboard graphics and sound?

Are there options in BIOS?

clocker.....yes graphics and sound onboard.


raiserblade2003...when you drag a window it is jerky...also after booting first XP sceen is a different colour looks like abot 480 graphics when 2nd XP screen comes on it is correct.

I believe that the Windows "Log on" and "Welcome" screens are still 16 bit graphics.
The rest of the Windows GUI is 32 bit.

Have you tried adjusting the refresh rate?

Thanks clocker...I will try adjusting refresh rate and let you know how I get on. :beerchug:

Correct there, thats why alot of the boot screen have to be carefully designed because they look like sh!t if not because of the 16 bit colors.

Why does the first XP screen look like shit when you turn on a computer with XP...the window looks all crappy and stuff...WHY?

Asked and answered.

It's 16bit graphics.

Sounds like you need to install the driver for teh onboard video...my computer runs really slow like that when i reinstall windows, on the first bootup, before the drivers have been installed...id recomend checking the msi website for new drivers or maybe they are on a cd that might have come with your motherboard?
