For some reasons I cannot reinstall my video card drivers.
The graphic is slow. So I decided to reinstall my video card drivers.
After reinstall, everything looked fine. But after reboot, the drivers
are gone. It looked like the the video drivers were not reinstalled.
The graphics became slow again, even something like moving the
explorer windows around. It would refresh the explorer window section
by section as I move it around.

1. Go into Device Manager and attempt to reinstall from there.
2. Install Graphics Drivers from the motherboard's CD drivers disk, if you
have one.
3. Go to your computer manufacturer's website to find them, if onboard.
4. If an AGP, or PCI Graphics Card, reinstall drivers from disk that came
with the Card, or get it from card Maker's site..

You don't give enough info for a definitive answer.
HOW did you try and reinstall them?

I tried all these ways of reinstalling video drivers. I think it is
not the problem with installing video drivers. It has something to do
with the the files associalted with:

right click on desktop ->properties -> settings -> advanced -->
general tab, adaptor tab, monitor tab, troubleshoot tab

The tabs are not there. Which part is wrong?
What should I do now?

Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - expand Display
Adapters - right-click your adapter and update driver. You need either the
drivers CD that came with your PC or a download from the adapter
manufacturer site.

I already tried this before. After the drivers were installed,

When I tried to drag a window across the screen, it moves in "bands"
across. When I tried to scroll in a browser it scrolls in bands very
slowly. Is there a way to reinstall the whole video function?

I went into:
add/remove programs -> click on add/remove windows components

got this message:
setup was unable to open information file on netoc.inf

This probably caused windows xp not able to reintsall the video
drivers. How do I replace this file?
