Computer Help (hardware)

[MzDiz]

Ok, I need all you computer savvy people to help me out here! I installed a new video card last night and now my machine is running soooo slooooow. It's taking forever for things to come up or thread previews on the board to pop up.
Anyone have any ideas?

TIA!

Just here on the dis boards? Or elsewhere also? If just here, the boards have been incredibly slow for some weeks now, with many, many server errors throughout the day.

It's with everything. It's like, the windows come up, but take a few seconds for the graphics to fill in. Know what I mean?

Also, you might call the company that made card, ask their tech folks.

Make sure you have the most current drivers for the video card.

Make sure you have the most current drivers for the video card.

I agree.

Right click on My Computer
Select Properties
Select the Hardware tab
Click Device Manager
Click the + next to Display Adapters
Verify that there are no warnings or errors listed
Right click the card name and select Update Driver

You may need to download the latest driver from the manufacturer's web site.

Good luck!
