I don't know if this is your problem, but you can't update ATI drivers without first
completely uninstalling the old driver and control panel. The ATI setup creates an
ATI Directory on the boot drive that contains the setup files. This has to go, as
well. So, uninstall the ATI driver from Device Manager. Refuse the reboot option.
Delete everything in the ATI Directory. Reboot. XP should struggle for a minute and
then ask for the setup CD. Cancel. Run the ATI setup for the driver. Decline the
reboot option. Install the new control panel. Then reboot. That should do it.
