read the post. I MUST use this piece of crap for my job.

This is some setting in Windows that changed when it updated.

I have to use a Windows computer at my job. Windows 7 enterprise or some shit.

It just installed a bunch of updates. Now, every time I hover on something, click on something, instead of just changing over to the new view, it faaaaaaades in nice and pretty like...and slow as fukk!

When I type, instead of just showing my what I just typed, it faaaaades in all nice and pretty like...and slow as fukk!!!

I have to create a damn ticket to get IT to look at it.

Someone here must know what the setting is that I can change. This is one of those little things that is going to make me go insane

thanks

Do you have the Aero interface turned on? If you have a POS graphics card or using a virtual machine that can make it slower than a non-doping Gatlin.

control panel>system>system properties>advanced>visual effects>adjust for best performance

Ctrl + Alt + Delete > task manager + switch back and forth with performamce diagnostics

- look for programs running like windows update and google update. End those processes. Look for other performance hogs that dont look right. End those too.

Take notes on what you ended

Start > type msconfig > go to both startup and services...

Do a thorough review of what is loaded when booted. Get rid of junk you dont use that isnt a system process (but review some of those too, google is your friend).

Lastly, clear up your system memory.

Control Manager > Programs and Features

Uninstall stuff you dont use and dont need like all the third party crap that comes with the computer itself. Like GameChannel and stuff.

Get a Mac. Buy CrossOver for Mac. Install almost any Windows program you want. They run in Mac OS without having to run Mac bootcamp--run Windows apps simultaneous with Mac apps. Windows OS is not installed, instead it is simulated. No more MS updates to jerk you around.

Most likely your company installed spyware on your machine, which causes a significant performance decline. Look at the McAfee programs running in the background. They can use this software to capture your keystrokes and see what you are really doing at work. By now, they have determined that you are a letsun poster and you can expect a visit from the security guard who is carrying a few boxes for your personal belongings.

OK. Let me clarify. This "issue" is some kind of graphics mode for Windows. The computer is not working any slower actually. It's just that when you click on a different already open program, instead of just clicking over to it, there is a fancy schmancy looking fade to the new program. Hover the mouse over the tool tray on the bottom and instead of just showing what function is there, there is a fancy schmancy looking fade up/fade down. My guess is this is supposed to be visually appealing. It is not. At all.
