You need to re-install your graphics driver. What kind of computer do you have? Once I know this I will be able to give you a link so you can download and install your driver

Does this look like your pc?
Dell Inspiron Desktop 510

Could you also download this program quick? I need you to tell me what graphics card is in the machine so I can get the proper drivers for it.
The program is free and does NOT contain spyware.
Belarc - Free Download

Once you are done running the program it should give you a log file, please paste that log file here so we can analyze it.

Thanks!

Hi give this one a shot http://support.dell....1&fileid=274229 the problem is there are 15 different types of graphics drivers for your PC it came out with a few different types of graphics card

Edit by noop: You will want to try these drivers over the one on the disks as sometimes companies pair the drivers with 3rd party software that can potentially slow down your computer. In addition, if you purchased your pc awhile ago, the drivers may be out dated and your better off going with the ones online.
