Could you be a bit more specific as to your graphics problem?

Does XP not recognize the card?

Do you have problems with applications or games?

Next, some additional system details:
CPU and speed
Amount of RAM
I assume that it is a graphics card. Or, is it built into your motherboard?

XP 'should' recognize and install the latest WHQL Nvidia driver when you run Windows update, so I am at a loss to explain what is going on if the driver is not installing.

I have 2 XP systems withGeForce cards with no problems.

The only thing that comes to mind, is that you are using a plug-in card with a motherboard that has built in graphics.
If so, the on-board graphics may be taking precedence over the plug-in card.
You need to check the manual (or with the system / motherboard mfg) as to how to properly disable the on-board graphics.
