Sounds like a driver issue or if you were successful with changing the bit depth than it the monitor check if you can change its settings of constrast and brightness that may help a bit

How long have you waited for the system panel to come up. Its a pretty slow computer so it may take awhile to load up and if it doesn't than you may have to reinstall windows

This doesn't have to do with your thread, but go here:

www.cpuid.com
and download the cpu-z-123, save the file, and then attach it to a post so we can see what the computer that you're talking about is like.

ps, it only takes 2 minutes to download with a 28.8Kps modem
