graphics programs crash

I have a problem that I have never seen before. Whenever I open a graphics program it crashes almost immediately. I have tried running Paintshop Pro 5.0 and 7.0, Photoimpact 12, and Cool 3D and all of them do the same thing. I have just done a clean system recovery from supplied CDs after doing a hard format of the drive. I am up to date on Windows Update. I have run Driver Detective and all drivers are up to date. I have run SystemSuite 9.0 and got no errors. I have run SystemCare Pro and found no problems. I run AVG and scan every day or two at most. Frankly I am stumped. I can not find anything wrong but I can not run any graphics programs. Can someone please help me. Here is my system information. Thank you. 3's

It is and aspire 3000. The installed drivers were on the system recovery disk. I had to update a couple of the drivers using the driver detective but the problem with the crashes was there already. There are no errors showing in Device Manager. I have not tried the safe mode boot yet so will try it now. Thank you for your help. I do have the error report that is sent to Microsoft if that would help. 3's

Anyone else have any ideas? I booted to safe mode and sure enough Paintshop Pro worked fine. What the blazes could be wrong? Thank you. 3's

All hail Bwana of the keyboards. Thank you VERY much for the driver. The one I installed after the problem started did nothing. I just opened Paintshop Pro, made a bunch of changes to a photo and it just sat there purring like it was supposed to. As always great assistance. Thank you. 3's
