Cannot get the XP look back after rebuilding CPU

2 year old cpu, reformatted and rebuilt.  Everything came back together, but I cannot get the Windows XP display back.  I have tried many options but think perhaps there is a driver problem. 

The quality of the fonts are poor and there is too much whitespace on the screen.

 

Thoughts?

Did you install the chipset and video drivers?

Yes, I did this.  The display is still off.  Quirky.  Odd fonts, poor spacing on webpages, poor picture quality.

 

Ideas?  Is the video card shot, how do I check?
