I'm having a problem with my video card... A few months ago I had to reinstall the video card because of corrupted files. The problem still happens with a blue screen with VXD in it, and random exits from starcraft and AIM. Can I get some help?

Is it a PCI or AGP ? If it is a PCI, it should be in the closets slot to the CPU, it should not be sharing an IRQ with any other device, in the Bios look for these:
Assign IRQ to Video Card-enable
Video Bios Cachabel-disable
Video Bios Shadowed-disable
VGA Palette Snoop-disable
PCI Palette Snoop-disable
Only some of these will be in your Bios.
Your Voodoo should be on IRQ 9 or 11 along with ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering. If it is sharing an IRQ you will have to move the other cards around ( Sound-Modem-Network Card ) until they are no longer sharing with the Voodoo. If you go to the Device Manager and double click the Computer Icon first thing in the list it will show you the IRQs. Make sure you have DirectX 7.0 or higher, I would install 8.1.
