Slow Performance After Installing Microsoft Plus!

 * }

Q135961

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Plus! and select a desktop theme, system performance may appear to be slower. For example, Start menus may take longer to open, full-window dragging may produce ghost images, and screen updates may take longer. In addition, X-Windows-based programs may leave window trails.

CAUSE
Using a desktop theme places higher processing demands on the video adapter and system CPU.

RESOLUTION
To permanently resolve this problem, use a high-performance video adapter with a minimum of 2 MB of video ram, and upgrade to a higher-performance CPU to increase overall system performance.

As a temporary workaround, follow these steps:


 * 1) Use the right mouse button to click an empty area of the desktop, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 2) On the Plus! tab, click the Show Window Contents While Dragging check box to clear it.
 * 3) Click the "Show icons in all possible colors" check box to clear it.
 * 4) Click the "Stretch desktop wallpaper to fit the screen" check box to clear it.
 * 5) Click OK.
