Hi everyone. I'm having an issue with my graphics. I am a novice when it comes to diagnosing/repairing comp problems, so please bare with me if I left out a key information.
I have a 4 year-old computer running winxp with intel pentium 4 cpu 1.7 GHz, 640 MB of RAM, and 32 MB NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 4x AGP graphics card.
The problem: While using internet explorer, when I scroll up/down the page, the image doesn't move up/down smoothly, but instead the frame rate drops and what I get is a very, very choppy movement. It is as if I am running low on memory, but this is permanent. The picture overall is very blurry and fuzzy. When I play a video file, it also is very choppy with low frame rate. Also, I cannot play games that I used to play (counterstrike, etc).
I recently formatted hard drive and reinstalled windows (but the problem started long before). I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my graphics card, so I don't think the problem is coming from that. However, When I go to the device manager, there is a question mark for Intel(R) 82850/82860 Processor to AGP Controller - 2532, which is listed under System devices. Maybe I have to update the driver for whatever this is, but after an hour-long google search I am still scratching my head. Perhaps someone here at the forums can point me in the right direction.
