My display freezes and goes black when I try to scroll pages.

by Cledus Nov 25, 2003 1:00PM PST

Lately, I've had a problem with my display when scrolling pages (on and off-line) and when dragging windows around. It'll go black and my monitor seems to reset and displace text and images when it reappears. I use Windows XP.

I don't know if this is a Windows problem, but it's really annoying and is becoming debilitating. Heard of this?

Use System Restore to solve this...

by David Chan Nov 25, 2003 8:34PM PST

If this just happen System Restore is the easiest way to get it back to working condition.

If that is not an option you can try System File Checker which will replace any corrupt system files.

Since it affect I.E. browser if the above doesn't cure it you can try the following:

* Quit all programs that are running.
* Click Start, and then click Run.
* Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
* When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK.

If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file names below):
* Shdocvw.dll
* Msjava.dll
* Actxprxy.dll
* Oleaut32.dll
* Mshtml.dll
* Browseui.dll
* Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)
