Hi,
I have to tell you that you're experiencing far too many errors
from your system from doing a relatively common update of
drivers. I suspect that the installation you're working with is
not stable enough to build a driver base on let alone get into
heaving gaming.
In your situation Brian, I would backup my data files, get
out the original XP CD, to reinstall XP clean and fresh on
that computer. Afterwards, get the Windows Updates, and
then update DirectX, and drivers for Chipset, Sound & Video.
Good luck Brian, take it slow, and read the instructions.
