If you have upgraded over the top of an old install of ME, there is your problem. Do a fresh reformat (even if you have the update edition, you can still do this).

Also this may sound daft, but I have heard of people doing this. Ensure you actually install the WinXP version of the Detonators, and not the Win9x versions (both have the moniker Detonator XP, which can confuse).

You could also adjust your monitor settings (ie install the correct monitor), you could adjust the horizontal allignment etc Tons of stuff you can do about this.

XP isn't really the problem (it is just something to blame).

Mmmmmm when you installed those video card drivers did you let it "auto stretch" screen size? when i first installed a pny geforce 2 mx400 i had to reinstall it cuz i did not pick that setting and my screen was off in windows Also have you upgraded your GART drivers also?
