I had to reformat my t42/2373/h12 laptop and reinstall windows. I have now updated everything I believe but for some reason it is very slow in scrolling down a page in IE7 such as my yahoo email. I have the problem with all sites. It would seem to me it might be a RAM issue (running 500mb) but I never had a problem before and with the reformat/reinstall, I am running barely any programs. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this delayed scrolling? if it is the RAM, any ideas since it worked fine for 2 years before doing this reformat. thanks in advance.

You need to get the proper video drivers, I find that is almost always the case for slow scrolling.

Yes, updating your video drivers will fix that problem. When I reformatted, I had that same scroll-lag problem.

Thank you. I think that worked and appears to be better. I appreciate the advice.
