How would I do that?

First of all, try checking devmgmt in the graphics device part. If there is a device named among the lines of ''Microsoft Basic Video Device'', it means that you dont have any drivers for the device. If there is a device with a different name, that means the drivers are probably already installed and you could only update the drivers.
Back to the first case, you can check your gpu with cpu-z as it has a graphics tab. Then, just look for drivers for the device. Youll have to download cpu-z though, but that should still work with Windows XP. Just put it on a USB or burn it on a cd and you're good!

Both of these menus can be accessed by win+r

Nice, would you say, i should install Windows XP to running Windows 98 programs? Afterall, Windows 2000 did not work for me.

Me and my brother manually made 25 CD singles for his band for a gig he had that night. He said they were sold out in seconds!

My brother got 25 CDs from a thrift shop and use them as donor cases. I kept the CDs and covers.

You can use something like Kunaki to get discs pressed and cases professionally made for you.

We only used CD-Rs because we just didn't have the time.
