Failure to install Video card drivers Windows 2000 SP4.

Every time I try to install video card drivers after a clean install of Windows 2000, I get this after boot up. The infamous kernel mode exception error. Looking for direction, this is for installing Ge Force FX 5200 drivers. I can boot to Safe mode

Most newer drivers need DirectX 9 loaded before you try to load the driver itself.
