Nancy,
I have had this problem multiple times on my laptops, here is what I have
always done to fix it.
Display >Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot>Hardware Acceleration. Turn this to
full.
If you have directX installed, Run DxDiag from the Run command.Go to the
display Tab and Enable DirectDraw acceleration. Let me know if this works for
you. Just my 0.02
