ORIGINAL: Mark Weston Turning off all video acceleration options (DirectDraw acceleration, Direct3D acceleration, and AGP Texture acceleration) in dxdiag fixes the problem. Scrolling is fast and smooth, and I get near-immediate response to clicking on bases, TFs etc. That's a bit bizarre really, but as long as it works... Hm, that suggests that a video driver or chipset driver issue is at work. I would first try turning those back on, then just turning off one at a time to see if you can pinpoint which resolves it. Next step would be to try with them all back on and making adjustments via your video driver to see if you can find a combination of settings there that achieves the same result. Posting a screenshot of your video driver settings might help with suggestions. A chipset driver upgdate (particularly the part that handles AGP) could conceivably help. quote:
Still, it's not ideal having all those features turned off. Does anyone else have to do this? Can you set dxdiag options from a batch file? That way I could at least automate changing the video acceleration settings every time I wanted to play AE. I agree, it's not ideal but it's a temporary work-around and gives us a clue as to what's causing the problem. In the long run, I hope that driver updates and driver level setting changes can achieve the same result.
