sorry i was a little vague. it was an old windows 98 p3 860 mhz system with 128ram(i think) and a new enough nvidia geforce fx 5200 128 meg card, that i recently formatted and installed full xp pro.the system ran fine until i installed the latest nvidia driver and restarted. the system came back in 4bit color and low res. the only way to repair it was to disable the graphics card through the device manager but that means no graphics card(except the onboard one which is limited in the extreme. any help would be appreciated.

There is no difference between XP Home and Pro , except some more programs
and utilities that is built-in to Pro. Have you tried to revert to the
previous driver ? Actually the best driver is the one on your display cards
manufactures website. This has the utilities that the card was designed to
have.
Make sure to disable the onboard display card when install the new driver.

Role the driver back to the one that works and leave it at that. The latest
driver isn't always the best one.
I have a geforce 4 mx440 and have found the best driver for the combination
of card & motherboard to be 4.4.0.3, so if it works leave it be.

ive got something of the same problem... my xp pro system crashes almost constantly, but only when ive got a game on(high graphics games-warcraft 3, civ 3, and icewind dale 2). the error reports say its the nvidia device driver, but sionce its my stepfather's cpu, im a bit queasy on just removing it outright...and im not amazingly great with computers, so is there a specific driver that i should download to fix it, or is there something else i can do?
