I have a two year old PC, running XP, which has started to act most peculiarly. I recently added a new monitor and sometime after that updated the video card drivers. I can't be sure at what stage the system started to act up, but it now regularly "freezes" for a few seconds and then the screen blanks out and comes back on, almost as if the whole system is refreshing itself, usually showing a small message saying "analog" and often leaving the frozen cursor image where it stopped, while the "refreshed" screen has a moving cursor visible and active. I love to play Bejeweled 2, and this acts very oddly - frequently, after these episodes, I am unable to load the game, and have to uninstall and reinstall. The graphics are odd - the colors in the loading page are off, often washed out looking or with a peculiar cast to them, and, when I am playing, the numbers, when they float up after making scores, are showing full of vertical lines - when I transit from one level to the next the colorful "black hole" swirl that comes up is also full of lines instead of being solid colors, and sometimes, when I have been playing for a while, the whole screen starts to "vibrate", jumping between the game and the menu. I have tried restoring the system to a date before I updated the video card drivers, in case that was the problem, but that hasn't made any difference. I have downloaded Hijack This and have copied the log after this message - I would appreciate any help you can give me to try and sort out this problem. Thanks.
