sfc/scannow messed up my graphics

I worked through the tips to tweak my XP and its messed up my graphics; I ran 'sfc / scannow' to correct any .dll's etc using my XP SP2 disk.
I run a 19" widescreen monitor and use 1440 x900 resolution, I can only see 1280 x 1024 and 1400 x 1050 in the screen properties. I can not update the driver.

I am running onboard graphics Nvidia Geforce 6100. I have tried download the nvidia driver software and it loads to correct my problem, however it does not save after a reboot.

Any suggestions? Also on a seperate issue, when I try updating SP3 I always get cut out half way through the update, anyone else seeing this?

thx

I managed to solve the graphic issue by updating all the microsoft patches and installing nvidia driver software.
