According to ATI website the drivers for this card should be on the WinXP
cdrom.

See:
http://www.ati.com/support/products/pc/mach64/mach64gxctdrivers.html
http://www.ati.com/support/products/pc/mach64/winxp/mach64winxpdrivers.html

Also see this page to determine if this is a Built by ATI or Powered by ATI.
If your card is Powered by ATI this might not be the correct place to
download drivers (see the card builders site).
http://www.ati.com/support/identify/index.html

If WinXP cd's drivers are still the correct for the card - remove any
listing for ATI in Add/Remove Programs, any reference to video card in
Device Manager. Then instead of rebooting go to Add/Remove Hardware and
manually point to the cdrom for a place to look for drivers for the card
that is detected. Also take a look in the Registry for any reference to ATI
and delete them - BACKUP THE REGISTRY BEFORE ANY CHANGES.

See the following for Code 10
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;310123

Is it possible the card is defective?

Don't forget this card is quite limited. The only kind of games you should
be able to play is cereal box games.
