    Check it out directX version, by typing dxdiag in RUN.

    Its a known problem with the newest intel drivers (I had that problem with the 14.34 ones) but it can be easily fixed by either running warcraft in opengl mode (google is your friend to find out how to do it) or by installing the 14.33 drivers instead. Either one will solve your problem.

    Good luck and I'll see you on battlenet!

    as Ever.monk said, it is a known problems with XP driver of Intel x3100 that has been discussed many times on this forum with Warcraft 3. You can create a shortcut and add -swtnl or -opengl and try if any of that works in case you can not find the 14.33 drivers of x3100.
