Default Device Driver: Two Instances, Yellow Exclamation Point

Though I am not new to PC's and XP, I have an issue for which I could please
use some help, as I don't want to screw up my system.

I am running XP Pro SP3 on a Dell Vostro 220s, and coincidentally noted that
in device manager, under display adapters, I find two instances of Intel
G45/G43 Express Chipset, with yellow exclamation marks before both. Double
clicking leads to the "windows cannot load the device driver for this
hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)" error message.

Everything nevertheless seems to work.

As such, would it be advisable to fix this, or leave it alone? I am not an
expert on video drivers, and am reluctant to uninstall both instances (would
that leave me with a blank screen?), or is that indeed what I am supposed to
do, and then try to reinstall?

Thanks so much for any advice.

Peter
