The NVidia driver is probably the only one you need to reinstall. Try
this page:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Did you know that SP3 is out now? You will eventually want to install it
(actually, unless you have XP Gold -- that is, the original release
pre-SP1 -- you should opt to install SP3, which already includes SP2).
If so, for reference:

HPs

Need / should also install / re-install the motherboard chipset
drivers. These should provide an AGP slot driver.
