Before You Reinstall
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows XP operating system to correct a problem with a newly installed driver, first
try using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback . If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use System
Restore to return your operating system to the operating state it was in before you installed the new device driver.
