Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008WIN XP ANIMATION SPEED
hello: i have WIn-Xp-Pro SP3 (works fine so far) the question i have is : is there a way to make the animations of windows go faster !!! thanks x >hello: >i have WIn-Xp-Pro SP3 (works fine so far) > >the question i have is : > >is there a way to make the animations of windows go faster !!!

Assuming everything is working as it should/clean/optimized with your PC... Faster machine (which could be a faster processor, more memory, better video card, etc...)  SignatureShenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Thanx for both of you: the processor is: Intel(r) Pentium(r) processor M 2.0 GHz (centrino) the memory is : 2 GB (2 x 1024) DDR RAM (PC2700, 333 MHz) Video Memory : 64 MB dedicated DDR RAM I dont have any problems with the system being "slow" but i would like to know if there is a method to control the time intervals taken by the animations done by windows XP, Such as minimizing or maximizing an application, the fading menues, the drop down menues, etc.. for example: lets assume it takes 300 milli-second for a drop-down menu to fade out, is it possible to make the interval 150 milli-second instead :-) many thanx ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > i have WIn-Xp-Pro SP3 (works fine so far) > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Faster machine (which could be a faster processor, more memory, better video > card, etc...) >Thanx for both of you: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >for example: lets assume it takes 300 milli-second for a drop-down menu to >fade out, is it possible to make the interval 150 milli-second instead :-) The only adjustment that I know of (on my machine, at least) is one for 3D rendering. If you're running one of the versions with the Aero interface, it's memory-intensive. You might take a look at all the things you can eliminate and see if that helps speed things up: Control Panel (Classic view) Performance Information and Tools Adjust Visual Effects >many thanx >++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> Faster machine (which could be a faster processor, more memory, better video >> card, etc...) >>Thanx for both of you: >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > If you're running one of the versions with the Aero interface, it's > memory-intensive. There's no Aero interface on Windows XP (thank goodness). It's only on Vista, and hopefully it stays there. His computer is not fast enough to run Vista to begin with, So Vista would never be a problem. Pentium M (as in Mobile) has very poor media performance. Even 2D animation is hard for it because its memory communication is slow. It's basically a Celeron with more, but slower, cache.

I'm running Vista but still follow the XP group. >Pentium M (as in Mobile) has very poor media performance. Even 2D animation >is hard for it because its memory communication is slow.

Hi Jake, I didn't know exactly what "animations" you were looking at, but in the context of menus, TweakUI has an option under "Mouse" to adjust the speed of the cascading menus open. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Scroll down the right to select TweakUI.exe. Make sure you don't download the one for "Itanium-based systems" unless you have that (64 bit Intel w/64 bit Windows).
