Reinstalling XP on a dual-boot system could be messy, too.

If you are booted up into XP then you should be able roll back the driver or
at least select a restore point from system restore to a time before you

Go into the startup menu, and select VGA mode. Then install the drivers.

No, not working. No choice but to revert to a 2 month old Ghost image.
Downloaded the latest 61.77 drivers.

3D Mark 2003 score 7500+, from 1500+ (Ti4200); P4 1.6A @ 2.1, 533 FSB, 1 gig
