not your exact issue, but i figured i'd spend a minute and help you a
little with google. these should give you some pointers for
troubleshooting the video:

sense you reinstalled, i'm sorta agreeing that it's a driver issue.
however, if you still want to sorta see whether it's an x issue:

(i didn't have acct on my system, so i don't have much of an example)
either way, if you have x, it should be at the top, if you have
something else shooting you it should be above x.
