Exclamation Solved: Video Controller (VGA Compatible)... need help
I was in the middle of downloading an update of iTunes and lost connection several times. Ever since then my monitor goes out of range and such. I can't play most games and when i scroll on a webpage it like.. lags. Same lagging type stuff when i move or resize a window.

I tried updating my video drivers at http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca...=xp/radeonx-xp and when i ran the set up i got the error box i've posted as a screen shot.
