PROBLEM SOLVED
I pretty sure i fixed it
When you fresh install SP2 Windows seems to have drivers for ATI 9600XT but they are not the catalyst drivers that come with the ATI card. so what i think happen when i installed update SP2 with SP1already installed, it over wrote my ATI drivers with windows video drivers. and i never reinstalled the catalyst drivers the first time i upgraded since i didn't have any idea that the catalyst drivers were over worte. this time when i splipsteamed my Windows Xp disk to include the service pack 2 i relized when it loded windows for the first time that it had installed windows drivers for my video card and when i posted the pervious message i since didn't install my catalyst drivers for my card since i though i didn't need to.
