Graphicsissue

I had the exact same problem before. Here how I got it fixed.

It could be the result of not having the drivers for your video card updated. Listed below are some websites where you can get the latest drivers to update your video card.
Microsoft Direct X

Nvidia

ATI

Omega Drivers (only for people who are comfortable with using modified drivers)http://www.omegadrivers.net/omega_drivers.php

You could also install the East Asian Language pack that is on your original Windows disc.Outlined below is a step-by-step guide to installing it in your computer (for Windows XP - Vista users might have to undergo different steps, but they should still be similar).

Try it and see if it works for you:

1. Insert your Windows XP CD
2. Go to Control Panel
3. Go to Regional and Language Options
4. Click on the "Languages" Tab
5. Click on the "Install files for East Asian Languages" checkbox and make sure that it's checked.
6. Click on the OK button for the dialog box that appears.
7. Click on the OK button of the window to close it, and begin the installation.

If you are using Windows 98 or ME, follow this link for instructions:

Last I reinstalled the entire thing and it has worked ever since.
