What is your graphics card? I would install the appropriate driver for you graphics card. If the driver isn't installed all kinds of weird things could happen.

    Can you give some more info on your graphics card?

    Control Panel -> Display -> Settings Tab

    Tell whats shown under where it says "Display:"

    Also, Can you include a Screen shot of what your saying is wrong(Desktop, windows, etc.)
    If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

    Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

    If reducing the graphics acceleration in troubleshooting makes it work then it <IS> either the graphics card driver or the graphics card itself.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    to tell you the truth it works fine now like i said sorry about the mention but since were here i noticed all my screen savers are faster than usual any ideas? I just went to display properties then to setting advanced and i think the troubleshot tab were i put the graphics acceleration to none.
