OK Macoati gave you some pointers. Try downgrading your drivers. As I stated to Radek, you don't need the detonator FX drivers. And IIRC the latest drivers offer DX9 support which you definitely do not need! The 41.09 driver is optimized for dx 8.1 so try that one. Also try the latest VIA drivers. I doubt they will help you much but the 4 in 1 is somewhat better than the earlier version although the VIA chipset generally sucks.

But since you are using Windows XP you can try the compatibility tools or the wizard. They are way better than the compatibility mode (still the same thing though but with lots more settings and options).
