Slow user interface

I am working with a new install of small business server at a small local company, setting up their web site and database server. The server apps are performing fine but the user interface is painfully slow. Clicking on a menu or switching windows can take several seconds. That doesn't sound like much, but it adds up quickly.

It makes sense that they would do this for application servers, but I have several hours of setup to do locally and this is making it realy difficult. Is there a way I can change this, even temporarily?

Thanks,
Dave
 
Sounds like you either have too little video memory or too little system memory. What are the server specs? What else is running. Can you shut down any services?

I hope you find this post helpful.

Thanks, I think that's it. The video card only has 8MB of RAM. I changed the Color Quality setting to medium(16 bit), rather than 32 bit, and it made a big difference.

The system has 4GB RAM and 2 Dual Core AMD Opteron 2.59 GHz processors.

That is kind of a joke isn't it? A system with 4GB RAM and dual procs but only an 8MB video card!
Get yourself a 256MB video card for under $20. Here is one:
