I had the same problem with a Dell laptop years ago. I installed the graphics card drivers of the graphics card manufacturer instead of the Dell driver and all was ok. Please look at start > control panel > system > hardware > hardware manager > graphic > enter key to open (+ switches to -) Here, XP tells you the name of the installed graphics card and the version of the driver (highlight the name of the graphics card and press the enter key > please see the version on the drivers page). What is the name and version of the installed driver? Regards, Michael

Is this a new laptop? Sorry I have not followed this thread all the way. Is this xp home or pro? You might have to see if there are any video driver updates. I seem to recall this issue with my dell laptop and did a video driver update and all was well then. Robert To find me you can do the following.
