In the first place, you're in entirely the wrong place. Check the
Communities listings for the Windows XP support newsgroups and head over
there.

Hi,

The problem with posting in the wrong group is you may get unintentional bad
advice, as fixes differ.

In your case, you have an issue that is common with outdated or corrupt
video drivers. The proper course of action is to grab the latest set from
the device manufacturer (Nvidia in this case) and install them.

No need to be sorry, I just want to be sure you get the best possible advice
you can get.

And where do you get the info that all the better responders are here now
and left xp? The XP newsgroups are still going strong, with most if not all
of the same, quality posters. I spend more time in there than here. It's
best not to be making unqualified and untrue statements.
