It's most likely to be a driver issue with the graphics driver, try reinstalling it.

couple of days ago I reinstalled xp , downloaded the same driver I used before, nothing changed, the problem remained...

Did you do a clean install or a repair install?

clean install with disc formatting.....:-(((

Have a look for a different driver perhaps!?!

I tried intel 965 chipset but my laptop doesn't meet the requirements...Anyway, until now the 945 card worked just fine..that's why I don't understand...

Do you have SP3 installed? I ask because I have had issues with SP3 and ended up uninstalling it.

I'm not saying it is the cause, but it's a possibility!
Is there something within event viewer that will shed more light on your problem? INSTRUCTIONS

well, since I reinstalled xp a few days ago, I won't find out what had happened back then, with the new xp I had quite a few errors, like hang application rundll32.exe , or ' the image monitor service terminated with the following error: adynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed....LOL, had this been written in chinese, would've understand to the same extent....:-D
