Slowing PC Preformance

Friday, July 19, 2002 by biomation | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Is it just me or is it everyone? When every I skin Windows xp everything tends to run slower. Is there anyway that I can fix this without having to uninstall windowblinds

Use a UIS1 skin. You will know it is if it has 3 windows instead of 2 in the preview window. Skins that are UIS1 must meet certain size paramaters that make them faster. Many skins have a UIS1 version.

UIS1 skins can be faster then regular windows. This doesn't seem right till you think of default video card drivers that came with the OS versus updated ones from the manufacturer.

UIS1 skins also tend to cause fewer problems with finicky programs, like Photoshop.

What video card are you using? If you are using a Geforce, make sure nView isn't enabled, it really slows things down and makes WB very slow.
