Post the first third of the Dxdiag report.

go to Start, run, and type in Dxdiag and hit ok. It will run the report. It may ask you about drivers, just click yes and let it run. Once it finishes on the bottom right is a button to save the report. Click save and save it to your desktop, or some place you can find it. Next double click the report you just saved. It will ask you what to use to open it with, choose notepad. When it opens copy the top 3rd up to and including "sound devices" and paste it here on the boards.

FearDeth,

do you have any abnomallys with your videocard?  that 9200 Pro AGP card?

your showing  video drivers from 4/14/2008   Driver Version: 6.14.0010.6462 (English)

so I am curious as to how well they are working with that older Video Card

last I knew was the best Video Drivers from ATI for these old cards was the CAT 4.12 version which supposedly worked the best.......
