How come? I haven't installed anything extra and still it sometimes takes several seconds untill the programm button shows the next list or opening outlook takes forever. <BR /><BR />does anyone know this problem. What could be the source of this slowness?<BR /><BR />Merry Christmas,<BR /><BR />Björn<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Dec 2003 21:28:46 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22007#M39708 bjobke 2003-12-22T21:28:46Z Slow grafics and tasking on the PCV-RX413N https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22008#M39709 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>256 is not enough. buy at least another 256 (or 512mb).<BR /><BR />also take a look at how much memory is being used in task manager (CTRL ALT DEL). If it is more than 256, your comp will run slow.<BR /><BR /><BR />I run a RX405, and currently it is using 360mb (with only outllok and this page open)<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Dec 2003 22:47:02 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22008#M39709 stevep-4 2003-12-22T22:47:02Z Slow grafics and tasking on the PCV-RX413N https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22009#M39710 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yup, sadly for things like Outlook 256 is a minimum. Also, visual effects on the toolbars and windows can take up a lot of power. I tend to switch them all off. You can do this by going intot he display properties and then there are some options under there, I think under effects and advanced (I'm not at an XP machine right now so can't remember!)<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Dec 2003 11:38:21 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22009#M39710 chuckalicious 2003-12-23T11:38:21Z Slow grafics and tasking on the PCV-RX413N https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22010#M39711 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It's in Control panel - System - Advanced - Performance Settings - Visual Effects.<BR /><BR />If you want more memory then I can wholeheartedly recommend <A href="http://www.crucial.com" target="_blank">www.crucial.com</A> they have great prices and excellent service.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Dec 2003 12:49:40 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22010#M39711 robpaxton 2003-12-23T12:49:40Z Slow grafics and tasking on the PCV-RX413N https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/slow-grafics-and-tasking-on-the-pcv-rx413n/m-p/22011#M39712 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Cheers Rob.
