My desktop looks perfectly fine, but if I click proprieties and go to screensaver this is how it looks :

This is how it looks when I try to play chessmaster grandmaster edition

I've tried reinstalling the drivers that came with the computer but nothing.I even got the latest ones and still no change.
Also when I reboot the computer on the windows logo I see different colloured stripes.
I don't think it's the monitor since it works perfectly fine with movies and such but when I try to play a game it's like that.
Even when I try to copy something from a place to another on the copying window I have this weired striped background.
My graphics card is an Ati Mobility Radeon x1400.
Now my question is : WTH happened and how do I fix it
Well now. I tried it again. I uninstalled the driver installed the older one (that worked till now just fine with all the games).
I got the newest drivers but when I tried to install em it said it can't be installed on my sistem, now I'm pretty sure I got the right one but I have no idea why it didn't work
Ah yeah and when I unistalled the drivers the striped I was talking about appeared clearly
