Take a look at what I mean here:

If you grab the scroll bar in internet explorer and scroll, it lags, but it doesn't do this in Firefox. I know for a fact that it's the transparent PNG's because when I remove them, it seems to be fine. How can I fix this problem?

LZ1: You're doing as I said, grabbing the Scroll bar and pulling it down and it pulls down smoothly?
My Specs:
Type: Desktop (HP)
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit)
Processor: Intel 2 Quad Core - Q9450 (4 x 2.66 GHz)
RAM: 3 GB
Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
Monitors: 2 (19 inch HP w2007 and 22 inch AOC)
Others have had the same problem so I know it's not my computers specs.
dnwx: Well the PNG graphics are semi-transparent and GIF can't do what it is I want. If it comes down to it, I may have to use different graphics depending on what the users internet browser is, it's a last resort though.

LZ1, did you try it in IE7?
I could reproduce the error here.

I was trying it in IE 8 with compatibility mode. I saw IE 7 and it was horrible.
They aren't that large and don't seem to be corrupt in any way. I've searched and searched and haven't found one thing on this kind of issue.
I know you said gif's are out of the question, so you may end up doing some conditional CSS.

Ok thank you, but for now that's a last resort solution, anyone have any solutions that will make this work in IE without ignoring IE?
I know you don't want to ignore IE and you shouldn't.

Yeah I read that article and the PNG's I'm using for the backgrounds are very small in file size so that's not the problem.
Did you take the page down? Also who are you hosting through? Just curious.

What did you mean take the page down?
I'm hosted thru godaddy and have a dedicated server.

Turns out that I had to make a smaller version of the background for IE users.
Glad we got it.
What kind of system do you have? How many programs are you running? Etc.
I'm not saying it is for sure your system, but we will need to start eliminating some variables if we're going to troubleshoot.
