Try getting them from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/. You will probably need to download a edited .ini file from there as well.
I tried downloading and installing the latest drivers (also downloaded the INF file next to it, don't know if it was the right one) and xp BSOD'ed every time it starts up. Anyone knows what drivers work fine with the SR MBP 2.2?
I'm using the nvidia 169.09 beta drivers with the modded inf file from here.
You basically download the driver .exe file, extract it using 7zip, download the modded inf file, replace the stock inf with the modded one in the extracted driver folder, and then install the driver using the "have disk" method.

Thx mate. I spent 3 hours last night installing random drivers from that site (not the beta ones obviously) and they all worked horribly or not at all. Made me remember why I changed to mac in the first place. 
Still a no go. They have some weird problem with my Dell 2005fpw display, so while the settings say 1680x1050 the image is all pushed in. Very annoying since the primary reason for using these drivers was to make dual pane view easier. I don't know what I am doing wrong...
Hi Slowpoke,
I was having difficulties getting a driver to work with XP and Tiger in Bootcaamp and I found success with the driver linked to in this page by Apple:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306891
I think I read about it at MacNN, that someone was using it successfully with Tiger (even though they are meant for Leopard), so I gave it a whirl and finally got to use my graphics processor hungry PC R/C flight sim on my own computer
Cheers!
Glen
