I have XP Home edition and recently installed all three service packs. On the top page bar and within various dialog boxes I'll have other-colored pixels displayed where they should not be. Any fix to this??

Jump to PostI think you installed the wrong drivers...
But did you also installed all the drivers for the mainboard like the chipset and so on?1. check the drivers/videocard software, update to the latest.
2. if this problem still exist, even in safe mode then
there might be a problem …

1. check the drivers/videocard software, update to the latest.
2. if this problem still exist, even in safe mode then
there might be a problem with the videocard OR maybe with
the RAM memory, but in your situation i think its just a driverproblem.
3. for the video card : Overheating is a common cause so you should
check that any fan on your video card is rotating..
4. for the RAM memory, remove it one by one and check it. use a memory diagnostics program...
5. or try yo update the BIOS.
(6. if you made that screen snapshot wih a camera, try to
swap the monitors and see if this problem still exist)
Good luck !
