What graphics card do you have? There may be a beta driver somewhere.
For photo processing, Adobe Photoshop, currently at version CS2, is
considered the best but may be too expensive if you are not very serious
about photo processing.
Adobe Photoshop Elements, now at version 4, has nearly everything a
photographer could want and is much cheaper.
Adobe recommends a graphics card with at least 128MB of memory for photo
processing.
The GIMP is free, see
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/
Some photographers are happy with Paintshop Pro, see
http://www.corel.com/.
This assumes you want to carry out detailed editing on single images.
If you are looking to make bulk adjustments to multiple images you should be
seeking a photographers workflow program.
