windows close "jerky"
Hi all!
When I close any window, it closes in "jerks" or stages; not smoothly. No problem when opening a window. This occurs with all windows, regardless of the program. Win 98;350mhz;384mb ram;8mb video 3D Rage LT PRO;GT800 Viewsonic set 1024x768 32bit color. Any ideas?Thanks, Paul |

It appears the refresh rate is out of whack. Check/change it.

The refresh rate was "optimal". I tried from 60hz to
95hz,as well as "adapter default" and it made no difference. Any other suggestions? Paul -----Original Message----- It appears the refresh rate is out of whack. Check/change it. -- Brian A.

windows close "jerky"
This happens when the system is trying to do multiple things while moving
screens around or closing them. For instance, you may notice it when shutting down because several programs are doing their cleanup and shutdown at once. If your machine (CPU, RAM, video card etc) is fast enough (and your description suggests it is) then you shouldn't see this effect, and if it is happening all the time then there may be something running in the background that is slowing things down. Check the performance settings for the video display, and also check whether there's something soaking up your CPU performance - you can get a process analyser he http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr.../procexp.shtml -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "proinwv" wrote in message ...

Jeff, thanks for the suggestion. I obtained Process
Explorer and it indicates that itself is using about 5% CPU and "Idle" is 90-95% which sounds good to me. I admit that I know little else of what it is reporting. Any further ideas?

That is what I would expect for a system with plenty of available CPU
resources, so something running in the background isn't what's causing the problem. Check the video adapter settings, especially acceleration, to see if you can tweak the performance. Check that you are running the correct video display adapter drivers for your hardware. You could even try re-installing the drivers in case they have become corrupted. Also, do Start / Run / DxDiag and check the processor speed to be sure that the CPU is running at full rate. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) wrote in message ... Jeff, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi All, we got it.
Taking Jeff's advice took me to Google. A search there, led me to check the desktop background pic. While it was only 72k, it was causing the jerky window closing. I guess due to the time it took the video card to redisplay. Anyway, thanks to all, and I hope that this will also help some one else!

Thanks for letting us know that you got it sorted out.
