[SOLVED] HELP: slow scrolling

I just installed windows XP, and when i scroll, it is extremely slow, it takes about 3 seconds to scroll 1 click, a line goes all the way down the screen from top to bottom, and once the line passes each line of text, it updates to the new screen, sorry if you dont understand, its hard to explain. can anybody help? the same thing happens in Firefox when the toolbar comes up asking me to save a password, it slowly comes down, like line by line. any help is appreciated
Answer #1
Install your graphics drivers, if you don’t have a graphics card, install your motherboard drivers.
Answer #2
^^when i tried that, i got an error “out of range” because my monitor goes up to 1600×1200, but it cant handle that, and the only way i could fix it was to format again will i just have to go back to Vista?
