Sir,
go to -->" Display Properties"--> Settings--> advanced--> Trouble shoot -->
slide "Hardware acceleration" to FULL--> enable "write combining" --> apply,
OK

This will fix your problem, also try in start menu --> run command -->
"dxdiag.exe" and perform direct x test for agp acceleration and direct draw.
