<0> id love to if i could
<1> ok, then trim down your xp install
<1> kill services, dont load excess pre-load apps
<1> it will make your proc more effective too
<0> ManKind i am using windows 2000 remember ?
<2> turn the shared video ram down to 32mb, probably all you need anyway since its gotta be a basic card
<0> ManKind and i did that in xp
<1> aooda this is #windowsxp
<0> well lemme check the amount of ram the video card is using
<0> ill brb
<2> a 1.1ghz celeron laptop isnt going to run all that fast though... not without more ram and a faster hard drive installed anyway
<1> you can even go down below 32MB video if you can
<1> with that resolution
<0> how much ?
<0> 16 MB ?24 MB ?
<1> probably 16
<0> ok ill try
<0> BRB
<1> 8 would be pushing it
<1> no way the bottleneck is 350 RAM on 2k
<2> I'd stick with 32
<2> he said the icons are pixelated in 2k
<1> 1) he aint playing any high end video games with a 1.1ghz celeron
<0> not at all...
<0> you know what ? i checked and the video adapter is already using 16 MB
<0> u dont think that itd be a good idea to reduce it any more
<0> err I
<2> check your video drivers
<0> i did
<1> 2) 1024x768x16000=~13M
<0> ive got the newest ones
<1> for xp
<1> you said
<0> ive checked
<1> aooda press ctrl-shift-esc
<2> what card is it?
<0> s3 supersavage
<1> go to performance, then look at commit charge
<0> ok it says total 178320 limit 943800 peak 361348
<1> that will tell you what RAM you are using. however your issue is video so check your device manager do make sure it is using that driver
<1> ok you are fine on ram
<0> i did believe me
<1> is the driver signed?
<0> since my laptop is an ibm laptop i checked with ibms site and s3's site
<0> yea
<2> !g "windows 2000" "s3 supersavage" drivers

<1> aooda did you get the video driver from the ibm support site?
<0> yea
<1> for 2000?
<0> yea
<0> it has the same driver for 2000 and XP
<1> is there a higher resolution available?
<0> no
<2> remove the device, reboot and reinstall the driver
<1> and what part is pixelated?
<0> just the icons in the system tray
<0> the other icons on the desktop and everything else is fine
<1> not text on desktop icons?
<0> like for instance
<1> ?? sfc
<4> sfc == System File Checker | If any of your system files are corrupted, but you can boot or boot at least to safemode, a fix might be here. Open run from the start menu and type sfc /scannow Have your windows XP cd handy, it will ask you for it. | For more info, see --> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;310747
<1> try that
<0> i can see the windows update icon in the system tray
<0> and it is pixelated
<1> unless you have any funky blinds/mods/visuals installed
<2> sfc /scannow
<0> no i dont
<0> ok i did sfc
<2> did it ask for a cd?
<1> btw, this is a windowsxp channel
<0> yes it is asking for the cd
<2> then something is messed up
<2> you should also install the latest service pack
<0> i did
<0> im using service pack 4
<0> by the way i went to http://www.opendrivers.com/company/2119/s3-graphics-free-driver-download.html and i think ive found a compatible driver
<0> but are those drivers signed
<2> signed doesnt really matter
<2> if a driver is signed it just means they paid MS
<0> isnt that what sfc does ?
<0> verify the integrity of files by checking to see if they are signed
<2> no, it verifys the checksums of system files
<0> its still verifying
<1> does it look correct in 800x600?
<2> it takes a while
<0> no it doesnt look better in 800x600. it acutally looks works
<1> http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_thread/thread/1b94f516baf103f9/9ed0bf7e57a089cc?lnk=st&q=pixelated+system+tray+icons+1024&rnum=1&hl=en#9ed0bf7e57a089cc
<0> ok sfc finished
<2> http://ftw.generation.no/img/parabol.jpg
<0> does it normally ask you to reboot afterwards ?
<2> in XP it doesnt but you should
<5> no, you have to reboot yourself
<0> ok
<5> does the network icon in the systray look pixelated too?
<5> or only icons from 3rd party drivers/apps?
<0> no
<0> well
<5> then maybe it is just a low-resolution/color icon
<1> display advanced dpi settings large
<0> the windows update icon looks pixelated
<5> w2k has NOT the same rendering engine as xp
<5> yeah, change the dpi settings
<0> ok wait
<0> is that for the font size
<1> did you **** with that setting already?

<4> ate == ANSWER TO EVERYTHING | Delete and recreate partitions on all non-removable drives. This is usually done with a bootdisk and Fdisk or Win2k/WinXP Setup CD (boot with it). | Sometimes a low level format is needed prior to partitioning.
