3d applications are "jerky" *not my video card though*

Nov 21, 2003 5:14AM PST

Hey guys this is my first post here so bear with me..Happy a few days a go my 3d apps stated becoming "jerky" and began "skipping". at first i thought it was my video card, but i took it out and put in a different card and still the same thing.I have all the current drivers and directx 9 installed so i dont think its the video card. Any ideas on what this could be? I'm goin' crazy trying to figure this out..it just doesnt make sense. *in case it helps, RIGHT before this started happening I did a disk cleanup and deleted my windows/temp file and also uninstalled Maya. I doubt this matters i just thought i'd mention it. Thanks guys.

1. "a few days a go"

Use System Restore to a day before that. This is what System Restore is for.

2. "jerky" and began "skipping"

A fine mess is the MS Blaster, Nachi worms as well as all the other PARASITES that today's machines can catch. Use the five scans I note at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0 to be sure your machine is free from the pests. No. Your antivirus is NOT enough. Get the second opinions.

Was that your post?

The machine is likely worm-food so do the scans and see if you find it.
