@Stormbringer:
No. I was not running on batteries. With V-Sync off btw it runs faster -
but not very smooth either.
I checked the tech config of my laptop - it has a built in Mobile Intel
X3100 graphic card in it (so propably not the best for multimedia stuff).
Although it should run smooth.
Btw. Did you see Shocky's birthday-intro for Jim - this scroller runs per-
fectly smooth on my laptop. Maybe you can compare your routines.
