Hi Brant,

If updating your video drivers don't improve the situation, you
might have to accept that the Trojans damaged your current
installation badly enough that you should consider a repair ..

How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

What CPU do you have? How much RAM? What video controller/display adapter?
