You probably will be fine keeping the integrated graphics drivers.

It is definitely recommend to un-install old graphics drivers from dedicated GPU's before loading up new ones, but since one is for dedicated graphics and one is for integrated graphics you should be ok keeping the old ones.

If for some reason the new drivers won't install correctly or you get odd behaviour from your new card then you can do a full un-install and start fresh from there if needed.

When installing Nvidia drivers you can install them from the website or through GeForce Experience and if you want you can do a clean install which will delete all existing settings and let you start fresh again.

Well, I would say the best advice would be to upgrade from Windows XP to a newer operating system.

Beyond that, you will probably be able to get away with installing the drivers (the go ahead anyway option), but again I strongly recommend also upgrading your operating system by buying a newer version of Windows. Windows XP is no longer a supported operating system, so you are going to be seeing more and more of those problems pop up in the future until you upgrade.

If you are asking if you can use that GPU with XP, then probably yes. Remember that warning message though, so if your PC starts behaving oddly or you lose video you'll know that you need to remove the GPU until you upgrade Windows.

I do stress that you should also look into upgrading your OS whenever you can. I know unexpected costs can be unpleasant but it is a very worthwhile investment as soon as you can afford it.

Could be your drive is getting old, or the drivers aren't working correctly.

First thing I would try is going to "My Computer" and seeing if the DVD drive shows up. If it does, right click it and select "Eject" to see if that opens up the drive. Sometimes the buttons on the outside of the DVD drive gets worn out and stops working.
