Hello,

the cmd prompt scrolls VERY slowly in window mode, e.g. when typing a
'dir'. I find this rather annoying - does anybody know a solution what I
can do to make it scroll faster?

Thank you for helping,
greetings,
Gerhard

Try fullscreen CMD. If there is a huge difference in scrolling
speed, then I would guess that your system's video sub-system
components are or may to blame. Also check buffer size, fonts, etc.
settings for the windowsed CMD. A font choice might have a large
impact perhaps. (speculations)

thank your for your hint. Yes, it seems that there is some lack in my
computer - it's an ATI RAGE IIC graphics adaptor, which is not supported
by ATI drivers under Win 2k, there is only a MS driver for it. Many
voices on the usenet stated that the RAGE IIC is more or less
sub-optimal... :-(
