nForce 4 SLI graphics issues

[CowboyFromHell]

My pc, has installed, an NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI (GA-K8N-SLI) motherboard and chipset. After re-installing WinXP Pro, I then installed all of the drivers for video, sound, etc. from the NVIDIA install CD. Upon installing I started the pc in VGA mode (as suggested) and turned off all AV programs.

Now I am having problems with my graphics, for instance, when I scroll up or down in an open window, the images jumps up in choppy and slight intervals. This also takes quite sometime to finish the scrolling. The other thing is that when I am dragging a window across the screen (it doesn't matter what program is open or if I am just on the internet) it also skips and stutters at a very slow rate across the screen. This also takes a few seconds after you drag the mouse for the window to make it's final journey.

I have tried removing and re-installing drivers to no avail. I don't really know if this can be answered but will try any method necessary to rid this bothersome problem. Thank you.

It's possible that the CD contains old drivers that don't work well with your combination of motherboard and video card. Your first step should be to download the latest drivers for your card from nVidia's web site and install those, it might fix things.

My advice.
Never install drivers on supplied disks, they are always several revisions out of date.
Just go to Nvidia's website and download the latest platform and graphics drivers which are:
Faster
More stable
And offer extra features
Your problem sounds like the graphics driver isn't installed correctly but as I said install ALL the latest platform and VGA drivers straight from Nvidia's site (not the motherboard or graphics card manufacturers website)
