How do you mean the screen is fuzzy? if you mean the screen is completly unreadable with lots of lines going down it it means the refresh rate isnt properly set for your particular screen - you may want to set all the video parameters to a default then try again.

yeh you get the bit i missed there - XP shud reset whatever settings its on and will take it from there - if you needed to change the settings again and its unreadable, leave it for 10 seconds or so, and it will reset back to the previous mode

OR when the PC is booting press F8 during boot up (right after POST) and select enable VGA mode. it will start XP in 640 x 480. and i dont care how old your monitor is. that will work. you will then be able to set it like you want. but prolly not over 800 x 600...

Try going into SAFE mode and installing the drivers.........I had that card in another pc a long time ago and that card is really outdated........
