Windows XP is completely different

by Sesshy9454 Jul 20, 2007 6:28AM PDT

I reinstalled XP on my computer yesterday because I was upgrading my motherboard and processor, and after everything downloaded, I began installing my regular programs. After I was connected to the internet, i noticed that when you scroll, the page lags and crawls downward many times. I downloaded Internet Explorer 7, thinking it would fix the problem. It didn't. All pages still lag when you scroll, even when im not online. Everything I do lags and crawls across the screen in the direction I moved the window. So I tried changing the startup programs to see if that had any effect. I went in msconfig and disabled all startup programs. Now, to top it all off...my computer looks like Windows 95, I can't change the way the taskbar and windows look like AND I don't have an internet connection anymore! I'm so confused!

Any help is greatly appreciated.
