Odd video card trouble

[aamoroso]

ATI All in Wonder 128
WinXP PRO

Working fine for a few years now.
All of the sudden, I boot up one day and get the New Hardware found VGA Compatible and my card is not being recognized. I reboot and all is fine.

Boot up again, new hardware wizzard, reboot all is fine, reboot new hardware wizzard, reboot all is fine ....

Every other time I boot, it is ok, but in between I get new hardware wizzard.
I suspect it is a registry, boot or shutdown issue. Any takers?

First thing I'd do after all this time, is to pull the card, clean the contacts with an eraser (check the fan for dust, if it has one), and put back in.
