Hi durang85,
Anything else? Sure, a fresh start might make a difference.
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method:
http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Otherwise:
If you go back to the list and try everything in the troubleshooting
section and it still doesn't work, go to the nVidia site and read the
driver installation notes:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/driver_installation_hints.html
if the new drivers still won't install contact their support:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html
Hope this help you get those latest drivers working for you!
