The only thing I can think of to suggest is rolling back your ATI drivers. That and maybe finding some older ones to see how they work for you.
 
thanks i tried it but nothing looks like im going to have to go back to win 98 shame though cause i liked xp
 
Did you do a upgrade install or clean install when setting up XP? If you did teh upgrade, i would recomend doing a clean install. Upgrading one OS to another can sometimes be less effieient and compatible

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. 🙁

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
