Guest natgas Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 When my computer is rebooted, it loses all video cards/drivers; I have tried both ATI and NVidia cards and it happens with both; I then have to uninstall the vga drivers and reinstall the appropriate ones. Haven't found anything to explain why this is happening. Need help to resolve this. XP Pro ATI 4850 NVidia 8800GT

What version of XP are you running?
