Have you upgraded to the latest drivers for the Radeon? A lady I know had
one and had similar problems until she updated the drivers.

Also how much memory do you have in your system. XP is more demanding than
ME.

Well, I have the same graphics card and Win XP and it runs fine and the
graphics are great. What's your RAM and CPU capabilities? I have a
relatively small (nowadays) processor 1.6GHz but over 1MB of RAM.

Best wishes

IMO, moving to XP isn't really an upgrade :-)

OK, it probably is more stable than ME, though I've had no problems
with ME.

OTOH, I'm finding XP Pro (which was forced upon me at work) to
occassionally be RAM-starved with 256mb, so I would suggest a minimum
of 512mb RAM for XP, with more (~768 - 1GB) preferred.

In the meantime, you can reduce your machines overhead by reducing the
visual frills and bloat that are the XP defaults. You may want to do a
Google search for instructions.

I can't help thinking that video jerky is something like beef jerky. Maybe
you cook it on the video card?
