The problem is that windows update is less than perfect when it comes to installing drivers, and you probably have two sets of them conflicting or some such nonsense.
Go into your control panel, system, device manager, graphics adapters, and delete the graphics card. Reset, and let it isntall the basic graphics driver when it asks you to. Then re-install the 53.03 drivers, which are the best available for this card so you may as well try them.
If that fails, version 45.23 was good as well, so download and try that. Do not try and use the winXP standard driver for games. It will probably work, just very very badly.

I followed this up to device manager. After that, I see 'Display Adapters,' not graphics adapter. NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 is listed there. You want me to delete that? If I do that, all data for my computer will stay, right? It's not like when you reformat your computer, you lose your data, right???
