Alfreda,
  To start with, it's a good idea to list the type of computer you  have and 
the operating system (Windows 98, Me, xp,etc.) as well as if it has a  video 
card or onboard video. The more info on your system, the more likely to  get 
help solving your problem. That being said...
 
 I have had a similar issue twice in the past. First time was a nasty  virus 
that was rather complicated to remove. The second time, my video drivers  got 
corrupted.
 
 In the first instance, I ran a virus scan which showed there was an  
infection. I did an internet search of the virus name and found  instructions to 
remove it which included disabling system restore (this deletes  all previous 
restore points), starting in safe mode then running a variety of  virus and 
malware removal tools.
 
 The second time was as simple as going to the computer manufacturers  
website and downloading the drivers needed. I hope this is your solution but, as  I 
said, with more info on your system, the more tech-savy members of the list  
will probably find your solution.
 Good luck
-Phil-
