I installed Windows XP Home Edition some months ago and it
works fine. However my wife bought me XP Professional and
I am trying to upgrade.
XP Pro installation program said the driver I was using
was incompatible though it had been accepted by the Home
Edition.

So I went to NVidia website and downloaded a driver that
System says is NVIDIA 10/6/03 5.21.6 Digitally signed by
Microsoft Compatibility Publisher. This is also working
fine with XP home edition. However the Professional
installation program still says it is incompatible.

What can I do?
 
If you have access to a different card, install that on your system and then
try installing XP. After XP installation, reinstall the nVidia card and
install the drivers. There are a lot of issues with nVidia cards, some
installation issues such as what you mention and some causing crashes in XP.
Until or unless nVidia resolves these issues, users are going to be faced
with this type of situation.
