Maybe an upgraded video driver? Go to the manufacturer's web site and look around.
Try this:
Set the acceleration down on your adapter, right-click the desktop, properties,
settings, advanced button, troubleshoot tab. If this helps then it probably is your
video driver.

I agree with Mary. If it runs OK in safe mode then that definately indicates
a problems with drivers or somthing similar. Did you install any new
hardware lately? Try to pinpoint when the trouble started

I believe that your computer is suffering from a lack of
proper punctuation, capitalization errors and poor grammar.
I couldn't work under those conditions either.
