I just upgraded to 5.9 - got a 9550 in the machine at work. Certain events (especially new message notifications sliding in and out of the tray in Skype) are VERY slow...Any ideas?

Bizarre - a third reboot fixed it![]()

Same happened for me too if i remember correctly.. odd aint it..
Sounds like SmartGART, my computer is very slow when the ATI drivers are first installed and then the screen flashes and it's fast again.Originally Posted by DaBeeeenster
Just strange that it took three boots for your video drivers to detect your motherboard settings..
Just a guess but thats what the problem sounded like.
"Mmm... I want you for my wife!"
"Autom...Sprow...Canna...Tik banna...Sandwol...But no sera smee?"
"Of course you can. We would love for you to join us."
I disable smartgart as soon as the driver is installed. Only ever had problems with it.

I spent AGES trying to disable smartgart and to manually set up the drivers. They kept reverting to "AGP: disabled" and gaming was decidedly disappointing for my 9800pro. Eventually I found some AGP/gart drivers for my motherboard and suddenly my framerates doubled* and the ingame (BF2) lag went away despite using higher settings for everything. Now I am scared to update them - they take far longer than nvidia drivers to install and seem to have much more trouble if you don't completely remove them first...
*may, or may not, be an exaggeration.
I never uninstall my drivers, and only problem ive had so far is the having to reboot a few times thing..
I recommend using Catalyst Uninstaller, just run it, reboot, install the new drivers, reboot, and then i also have a slow moving of everything, then just reboot again and everything is fixed.Originally Posted by jamena
