    I've recently crashed and re-installed Windows XP on my Dell M4300. Completely removing all old data. After installing windows, I updated everything via Windows Update so that everything is good to go.

    Now, when I startup windows xp, I get the normal Win XP splash screen: http://tinypic.com/r/2dt5b0g/6

    After it loads, the screen immediately changes to this: http://tinypic.com/r/ivkca1/6

    And it will stay that way until I manually shut it off. Upon turning it back on, the exact same thing happens. Notice that the messed up screen always looks differently: http://tinypic.com/r/5arg4m/6 (notice the different colors)

    However, I can start up in safe mode just fine! No problems whatsoever!

    What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
