well i just got a new laptop and it's quality all the way around so i know that is not the problem. when i visit some websites with the background containing many lines, like www.comcast.net. it like loads the background real slow in sections...right now my resolution is 1680x1050 but i can use 1920x1200 and it does the same thing. it is obviously a wide screen resoultion. i was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and how to fix it. i was figuring it was just some setting i have to turn off/on or change but i have no idea what it'd be. my specs for this laptop are.

win xp pro
p4 2.6ghz
512 ddr 266mhz ram
geforce 4 4200 64mb AGP 4x
and monitor screen is the WUXGA 15.4''

that is all i would think u'd need, if u need any other specs just ask. it also does the stop and go slow loading at the lowest resolution...

if i minimize it then maximize it, it has "reload" the background and stuff again.

it also does the same on http://maverick.u69.us/forum/index.php it is the horizontal lines that do it i'm sure. i was refered here http://www.theeldergeek.com/repair_reinstall_ie_and_oe_6.htm and did all of the suggested things except a format. when i tried to reinstall explorer however it wouldn't let me cause the version i had on the pc was newer even though i changed the value to 0. i tried reinstalling win xp and now the comcast.net site doesn't even load... but the second test site still loads but has the same problem. i've run out of ideas...
 
Did you reload XP from a "reload CD" or from a standard Windows XP CD? Have you tried a newer video driver? Maybe install newer DirectX if possible? If you loaded clean from a standard WIndows XP, it would guess that it's a driver problem. If you reloaded from a reload CD, it could be any sort of software conflict.
