I unistalled Windows Service Pack 2, re-booted, uninstalled the video card
drivers, re-booted, re-installed the video card drivers using the
manufactures website, rebooted, and re-installed Windows Service Pack 2.

But I still get the same problem. I really appreciate if you can help me
out solve this problem.

THANKS
