You're probably missing the Dell driver for the graphics card so XP is
using a default.
It may be worth looking at Dell's web site to see if you can download
the driver. If a recovery CD came with the Dell it may be on there or
it may be in a hidden recovery partition on the HD.
My Sony Vaio comes with a recovery CD with XP home on it, the drivers
are on that CD, although I have not tried to find them specifically.
The CD also includes applications and other drivers that would be lost
if I did a clean install of XP Pro.
