No, you don`t need to reinstall XP.
Remove your current videocard drivers and reboot your computer. Shut down the computer and disconnect from the mains. Disconnect the monitor and remove your current video card. Insert your new videocard and reconnect the monitor. Reconnect to the mains and start your computer. Once in Windows, Install the new drivers. Regards Howard  |

You can also try Driver Cleaner PRO. It really helps to remove registry entries
