A7A266E (AliMaGiK1 chipset) and AGP

A few days ago I did a clean WinXP Pro install, and once I had
installed all drivers and got everything working, the system wouldn't
boot Windows in either normal mode or safe mode, hanging at loading
the 'alim1541.sys' driver.

After another install I have reinstalled everything, but I have held
off installing the nVidia drivers for my nVidia Geforce 2 Ti graphics
card (currently using the Windows generic drivers). Everything is
running smoothly, so I must assume that the problem is to do with the
nVidia drivers.

In device manager I can find out that alim1541.sys is being used by by
'Ali PCI to AGP Controller' under System devices.

My system spec is:

nVidia Gefore 2 Ti graphics card (plugged into AGP slot)
Maxtor 200gb 6Y200PO HDD
Asus A7A266E mobo with AliMaGiK1 chipset
512MB DDR RAM
AMD Athalon 1700+ CPU

I would really like to install the nVidia drivers. Is there any way I
can do so and stop XP stalling at alim1541.sys at boot-up?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jonathan.
