Failed Driver Install

Hi.

I've been having heaps of problems recently with the graphics on my
computer. For some reason everytime I scroll up and down a page or basically
anywhere now. I see all these weird pixels.

See example -> http://cxfiles.orcon.net.nz/example.jpg

I'm seriously trying to get rid of this problem and posting it everywhere I
can. All I can point it to is something to do with the graphics driver for my
Geforce 4 Ti4200 which keeps failing install in Windows update.

See example -> http://cxfiles.orcon.net.nz/failed.gif

I've tried loading in safe mode and trying to install the driver but windows
update doesn't work in safe mode >< Does anyone please have any suggestions?
Does anyone think I should just get a new graphics card? I'm certain I
couldn't have damaged it cause I don't overclock or anything but I'm thinking
anythings a possibility now.

Thanks.

Don't get driver updates from windows update. Go to the card
manufacturer's web site, nVidia in your case if it's a retail card that
you installed, or the web site for your computer vendor if it is OEM.

Never use winupdate for drivers, manu site only
