Hi, Paul.
Repair install (also known as an in-place upgrade) should work, but it seems
overkill for just a missing driver. Have you tried the System File Checker?
At the Run prompt, enter: sfc /scannow
SFC will compare each WinXP operating system file with the "known good" copy
held in your on-disk cache and replace any missing or damaged ones. Have
your WinXP CD-ROM handy; SFC probably will need to see that.
You didn't say which driver you need. Depending on which one it is, you may
be better advised to visit the device manufacturer's website to see if there
is a newer, better version of the driver than the one you had before. You
may be able to simply download and install that.
