You could start by updating your video driver. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html

GeForce FX are kinda unsupported because they are just too old. GeForce 6 are the first cards that GPU-Z is really tested on.

sir i tried to intall that driver but i have an error everytime i update the driver.

this is the error i usually get:
"The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."

now the current driver i have is 91.31

This is just an observation... however, I wonder if that card is a 5200 FX, as it shows (in the screen shot you posted: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=51366&d=1371014345) as a NV18 which was in the 4XXX series.
The 5200 series card was the NV34, IIRC. Now, I could be wrong, but that may be why the latest driver you can use(stock - without modifying) is the 9X.XX drivers, as the 175.XX driver does not support the 4XXX series.

Like I said, "Just an Observation".

EDIT: @OP> Here is some reference on the chipsets/gpu: GPU Review
