Default Display Issues with Windows XP

I have installed Windows XP on a machine and now there seems to be blinking
on the screen whenever I try to scroll any webpage... Is there a workaround
to this kind of problem ? Thanks.

Whenever you install an operating system, you need to install drivers for
your hardware. This includes the motherboard (chipset), audio, video (and
the lack of proper video drivers is the cause of your issue), networking,
etc.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer
(HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
