I have problems with a new card and could solve these by turning hardware acceleration to 0%, but now everything scrolls jerky :-(. I'm already back to using the scrollbar instead of the mouse scroll wheel.

Hi Olaf,

The very first time I installed XP all the accelerator is turned on. At that time, I even experienced a dead locked when working on the VFP IDE. It turned out to be causing by "Enable Write Combining" is on (well known problem for a cheap graphics card <*bg*>). After I turned it off, all the problem was fixed.

But if you turned off all the accelerator, the load will be too heavy for the graphics card because all of XP fancy things and of course GDI+. So for your case, try to start from 640x480 and turn the accelerator on one step at a time. Make sure it doesn't make any problem to all of the application. Then increase the pixel settings one step at a time until then you can found out the culprit at one spot. Sometimes it can be causing by incompatible driver, old driver, or driver conflict too. But if it only happened to VFP then I don't have any idea for now :(

I believe you know what to do next :)

Regards

Update:
Sorry, what I meant was 800x600 with 16bit colors (the lowest resolution). Still have confusion with Win9X <*g*>
