How can I re-install an Android driver on WinXP?

In the past, I've attached my Kit Kat tablet (Hudl 2) to XP without 
any problem.  The tablet shows up as an extra drive in XP and basic 
file transfer can be done.

Recently, I attached the tablet and this time XP tried to reinstall 
the driver.  XP correctly detected an Android device was attached and 
that an MTP driver was needed. but the re-installation failed with 
the message: "Cannot Install This Hardware ... A service installation 
section in this INF is invalid".   Now in Device Manager there's now 
a yellow question mark over the Android driver and the driver details 
say: "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this 
device".

I guess the driver is still on the XP system somewhere.  How can I 
re-assign it to the Android entry in Device Manager?

Is there a way I can get the old driver assigned to Android in XP's 
device manager without installing some mega pack of Microsoft drivers 
such as something I found on the web called "MTP Porting Kit Setup".  
Whatever that it.  My XP is heavily customised over 10 years and can 
be a bit fragile when applying packs like this.
