Just re-installed XP home edition

[JTM]

Everything works fine, but when I browse web pages, the frame rate is horrible, like when you spin the mouse weel, it's like it can't keep up with that and the page looks distorted when scrolling rather than nice and flat etc.
Does this have to do with my gfx card driver? and how do I fix this?
Thanks,
JTM

Do you have the latest gfx card driver?

You need to update all your drivers, motherboard and video

Not sure, I have a Geforce 420 MX, how would i find out if that is correct, and where to get the drivers. thanks

Will a windows update do that all?

The windows update fixed that, but thanks for the link. I have a new issue though, it says I have no sound devices hooked up, when in reality I do. They worked fine before the format. Is there any drivers I need for the soundcard? or anything like that?
Thanks,
JTM

Ok, I installed them via the dell resource disc. I have a Dell Dimension 4500. I think it's PCI, how do I tell. I know it can take pc2700 ram, can it take ddr, or ddr2? And how do I know if it's PCI without opening it up etc.
Thanks,
JTM

pc2700 memory is ddr not ddr2

Ok here is a way to tell if your sound is onboard. Look at the back of your PC. If you have onboard sound then your audio ports will be near the middle-top of the case in the back, near the USB ports. If you have a PCI sound card then the sound ports will be going horizontal, near the middle-bottom of the case.
