Display Problems (Seached) with new computer

[bailarge]

I just got my dell inspiron 6000 in the mail today, and everthing seems to be going alright except with the display... everything looks fine, but certain applications get really messed up in regards to color. For example, the AIM startup screen is purple in background with all sorts of colors everywhere. I've tried changing resolution and color quality, which is at 32 bit. I have the ATI Mobility Radeon X300. This is really damn annoying and I hope I canget this taken care of tonight... thanks!
