Have you installed proper nVidia drivers instead of the ones that comes with Windows XP ?

GodZilla,
We need to know more about your system.
But yes the first thing to do is upgrade all your drivers to the newest versions.
Also if you have recently upgraded your video card or you have not done a fresh OS install for a couple years you need to clean out any old drivers that are lurking around in your HD and regestry.
Good luck!!

now i just receive a error called bad ui system trap 179
what would that be from the only thing i did was copy my original base folder files into the new base folder. as i have my old drive as the slave and my new drive as the master
