Hi,

First, go to the control panel/add & remove and uninstall the current Nvidia
software, you may have to reboot to complete this step. Then go here:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp then select graphics
drivers/geforce and tnt/Windows XP, click "go". Click on the primary
download site, then agree to the license. Save the file to your desktop. You
may need to allow Internet Explorer to download (the bar will pop up at the
top of the window). Once saved, double click the file to extract the
components and run setup. You will be prompted to reboot when completed.
