It definitely feels slow to use. Before I reinstalled XP and ATI drivers (had to anyway), it was getting to point that I would shutdown ObjectDock and WB in order to get things done. Benchmarks are meaningless to me if you don't see the difference.
I will try turning off the perpixel or find some older skins to use in the meantime. Thanks for the heads-up.

Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 - Problems with transparency on start menu. The First time the start menu is opened it keeps whatever is in the transparent area. So, if the background changes or another windows is behind the start menu when it is opened a second time, then instead of showing transparent area properly it shows the original contents from the first time opened.
Otherwise seems to be ok. Including transparency on explorer windows and taskbar.
Toshiba Protege M200 - Tablet. Latest drivers published by Toshiba - so not as new as what is available on Nvidia - except GeForce FX Go5200 drivers are not available directly from nvidia - without hacking away that is.

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
This is because :
Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.
You have one monitor in total.
(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to ALL-IN-WONDER 9200 SERIES
Running latest ATI Catalyst 6.2 Drivers. The monitor in question is a Xerox XL-795D. I usually don't have any trouble with the skins, but when trying to see Solaire-Dark, I was getting the XP-style buttons at the top.
Since I just updated my drivers yesterday, do I need to do a fresh re-install of WP5? I just updated it through SDC, and am not sure what to do next ... if anything. Your assistance would be great! (Sorry for asking in this thread.)

possibly more information than requested but I figured it all tied in with WB5 usage.

Mjollnir32: It seems the slowdown in the 2D tests is also caused by having per pixel under the test window.
Does your desktop feel slow in use, or is it just these test results that makes you think its slow?
