I have just installed XP Pro and all of my OpenGL screen savers run really slow and jerky. The same savers ran really well when I had ME on this pc. I have a GeForce2 DDR display adapter and all settings (ie. 1024x768 32bit) are set correctly. What might be the problem?....or are these savers just not compatable with XP?

After installing, did you defrag the unit?

It sounds like you have the GeForce2 card over clocked somehow. I would check the BIOS to make sure the Data Rate was set to 64 and try again.

My guess is that u performed an upgrade from ME and are still running the legacy opengl drivers.

Try downloading/installing the latest XP drivers for ur card and ur'll prob be ok.

Hope this helps
