Windows XP problem

[Screehawk]

So the problem I am having is that when i start the game everything runs fine looks nice a little laggy at times but otherwise everything is good. after i create my character the game starts and so on.. the first problem i have is that the movie plays in a windowed mode (but theres no boarder like windowed mode has, it looks like it should still be full screen) while the remainder of the game is in full screen. now my main problem is that when i attempt to move my character all he/she does is spin in circles. any ideas on what might be the problem/fix (im assuming its a graphics card problem)
