I am getting the following error when I select the display settings in the control panel: The currently selected graphic display driver can not be used. It was written for a previous version of windows and is no longer compatible with version of windows. The system has been started with the default VGA driver.
I have the latest Win XP Pro Nvidia drivers installed from the NVidia website. I even removed the old driver version first without success. Anyone have any ideas?
If you model is GeForce then the latest XP drivers are here:

All worked fine until I started installing all latest windows updates. Then somewhere in the process, after rebooting a couple of times suddenly my nvidia-driven screen stayed black, and on clicking the 'settings' in disp. props, this message appears twice:
