video problem

[Ron]

I would assume the problem is that you upgraded Me to Xp.
This usually doesn't work very well. (In my opinion), when
installing a new version of windows, do a clean install.
Back up your data & format your harddrive and install XP
from scratch. (this goes for any version of windows)

Nothing.
