XP issues after updating driver for video card

[mar81018]

I was getting "stop errors" and was advised by microsoft to update the
driver. I think I may have updated to the incorrect driver and now my Windows
will not start. Is there any way to get it back to the way it was without
being able to load Windows? I do not want to reinstall Windows because I
have very important files on my hard drive and do not want to lose them. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to "roll back " the driver you installed?
