It will always say that because it looks at what is installed in your
computer. After a reinstall, or a new install, the system will usually be
using the Windows XP "default" video drivers. You have to download and
install the dedicated video drivers from the manufacturers web site, or from
the installation CD. It is up to you to make this happen.
If you gave more information (what you gave contains nothing about what
video board you are using, driver version etc) about your video sub system,
seeing as how you are having a video problem, maybe it would be easier to
assist you.
Help us to help you. Give us information.
