Windows 7 and MR?

[Kedd]

I'm running Windows 7 and MR is very jumpy when I scroll down.
Any idea why?

Sounds like an internet connection but then again I'm borber line computer illeterateble,,lol.. I have that problem when I use my friends computer to access MR..

sounds like a video driver issue unless it only happens with MR site.

I'm running windows 7 and MR works fine with IE and firefox for me.

I just want to go on record saying "Windows 7 was NOT my idea"

Did you buy the computer with Windows 7 or upgrade to it? What browser are you using?

 

[Killerdrgn]

Actually Windows 7 is pretty good.

Been in IT for longer than I care to remember. This looks like the right answer. Upgrade to the latest driver for your card.

They have finally incorporated most of the features that Mac OSX has had for 3-4 years now, so maybe they're making progress.

I have the latest driver, and it only happens with MR.

Have you tried Firefox?

 

[Kedd]

Thanks Keith,

Seems to work fine with firefox.

Why is that?

Google is my home page I was having the problem with.

Dunno, just be happy with firefox. Get some add-ons like add block plus, it works wonders!

IE is a resource hog. It does a poor job rendering some content heavy pages.

Fire fox just does such a better job of rendering web pages. I only use IE for web apps that require it. Even then, I use IETab within Fire Fix to view them.

check to see if there's a Compatibility button. if so, try clicking the Compatibility View button to the right of the address bar which switches IE8 into IE7 mode for that site. it may be a JavaScript issue with ie8. also try check for ie updates.

Thanks All.
