unistall old drivers then boot into safe mode (run/msconfig/boot.ini and click on safeboot) and run driver cleaner. then boot back normally and install new drivers. it is worth disconnecting from the net before doing this as xp will automatically pull a set of default drivers down when you reboot which you dont really want.

most people dont bother doing all that but then they may get problems later on in games etc
