More than likely it is a hardware issue. Post your specs so we can check it out.

If you don't know how, go to your Start Menu, select Run and type DXDIAG. Save to a text file and post that here.

Looks good so far, what about your graphics card? That'd be the one we are after :)

Updating the drivers to your video card might fix the problem: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html

Just confirming you don't have a downloaded copy, because that would potentially give the error you have.

That aside, it looks like a memory conflict, so try closing all programs, and/or restarting the computer. And you can run a memory diagnostic as well if you want.
