jerky preview picture in edit mode

[jimzjazz]

Having just bought a new PC (with Vista) and installed my VS10+ I now find that the picture jumps,stops, starts and in general appears to be pretty slow in editing. I seem to recall seeing posts on this before but couldn't find it in 'SEARCH'
I further recall that the finger was pointed at the 'Graphics board' if this is correct how do I find out what constitutes a 'suitable replacement board? is it based on 'word of mouth' or are there specific values I should be looking out for?
All I can add, is the problem didn't exist on my old PC (running on XP) so if anyone can help I would be grateful

Have you installed the VS10 update patch to make it more Vista compliant?

Many thanks Jeff
for the link, seems to have done the trick? I think Ken has been supping too many VB's, else the 'GREEN MACHINE' is losing lots of 'footie' games, as I did a SEARCH (HONEST GUV!) I'll still say hello to him if I bump into him in Northbourne Ave.
Once again thank you

Not sure what you searched for but I did one for "Vista AND patch" and came up with 2 pages worth of matches.

Although your problem has been resolved, purely for completeness, when you are looking for a new graphics card or any other item of hardware, you should check the system requirements of any software that you wish to use with you computer.

Bear in mind though that those specifications should be regarded as a minimum in this ever evolving world of computers. In a few months time whatever you have bought will already be 'out of date.' Computers are getting bigger and more powerful every day - so get the best your pocket can afford.

Thanks for that piece of advice, I agree completely with your thoughts, 'today's newspaper is tomorrow's fish and chips wrapper' ( or something like that!!) (ref. your 2cnd. Para that is)
PS I enjoy your informative tutorials
