    Help please, When I open a window in My Documents or anywhere else and try to move them they move like jelly or when I try to scroll it moves like waves.

    I have just done a complete reinstall and put all the drivers in, tried adjusting settings in Display but nothing seems to work.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi robroy
    Sounds like you've installed Gnome, or something similar.
    Strange how it stayed there after a complete reinstall of Windows.
    Have you checked add/remove programs and registry for any entries for Gnome (or similar 3D desktop acceleration program)?
    Here's a link to Reg Cleaner, which should show you info. on what's in your registry:

    Be warned though - don't delete anything from there that you're not sure you don't need, else you might be reinstalling again :(

    Some sys specs would help!!!!!

    Sounds like a video driver prob and maybe need an update but really hard to ascertain if you dont give your sys specs, OS ver, etc,etc.

    Lot of exceptional advice here but they need the appropiate info to help.
