Device Manager Error 41.

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41) A driver was loaded but Windows cannot find the device. This happens when Windows does not detect a non-Plug and Play device.
If the device was removed, uninstall the driver, install the device, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver. If the hardware was not removed, obtain a new or updated driver for the device.

You can try and use this Nvidia Driver Cleanup Tool and then install the correct driver once more.

If that doesn't help save any data that is valuable to you then format and reinstall XP. Add SP2 and other updates, then your programs, and try again.
