Re: Need Computer help
Ok so I reformatted. I do not have my drivers CD, which sucks but I had my XP CD. So windows is installed and I did install an antivirus software.
I still have a couple issues. I have a widescreen laptop and right now the settings make it look very distorted. It looks liked a streched image. Is that because I am missing some kind of video/graphics driver? Also when I scroll up and down, like on this site for example, it doesnt flow smoothly like it did before. This one is hard to explain, but I know something is missing. Thanks for the continued help guys.

You probably need to change your screen resolution and turn on smooth scrolling.

One more thing, save yourself some headache down the road and get Firefox Web Browser. You'll be better off in the long run.
