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

Use the built-in administrator account and try to install the drivers
(the ones for which ever video card you have installed.)

What version of XP are you running?

XP Pro SP3

I've tried the administrator account also and it doesn't seem to make a
difference
