@Seaniam81

Did you uninstall the old drivers prior of putting in the new Card?
If you did, did you ensure you got rid of all files?

Sometimes files in System 32 stay in place as do strings in the Regedit which could cause problems.

Try Driver Sweeper or and Driver Cleaner Pro to make sure those files and strings get deleted but before you do that uninstall the Hardware in the Device Manager, reboot and startup in Safe Mode, then run the proggies one at a time.
(Driver Cleaner Pro is a slow process which takes forever... Might want to let it do it's thing over night).

After all the cleaning restart XP and do not let XP auto detect "New Hardware".
Install the latest drivers.

It could save you a trip to the store and if it doens't work you can alway do the trip.
