Using the Device Driver Rollback

the Device Driver Rollback to replace the new device driver with the
previously installed version of the device driver. If you cannot reinstall your

System Restore (see page 71) to return your operating system to its previous
operating state before you installed the new device driver. To use Device
Driver Rollback:
1 Click the Start button and right-click My Computer.
2 Click Properties.
3 Click the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
