Well my guess is that your video card is conflicting with another piece of hardware,
if you go into the device manager are there any exclamation points? If so you need
to reinstall the drivers for that device, windows xp automatically assigns a specific
IRQ when you install the default windows drivers. If you are using the default windows
drivers I would suggest getting one directly from the manufacturer instead. If that
doesn't work you can try uninstalling the video card, then relocating it to a different
PCI slot. To do that you have to open up the computer, but if you have a video card
built into the motherboard this will do no good (since you have a VAIO I assume it
is). You can also look for an updated AGP driver on your motherboards website or
from sony. If none of this works check back....
