VirtualBox Problem

Hi
I have xp installed in VirtualBox but get the error message
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

I run the command as suggested and all is well until the next time I try to use and I have to run the same command again.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Open terminal and write the following commands the one after the other, pressing <enter> after each one.

Code:
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup



I am explaining about this problem in my guide here (Note 3) viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2380
