Video driver change question
The usual advice given is to remove old driver then install updated one,
but if this is done, I assume you can't use Windows XP's Rollback option, or can you? Can you just use "Update Driver" and then get the advantage of the Rollback option? Regards and thanks in advance Syke |

Regards and thanks in advance Syke XP keeps a copy of all the drivers you've ever installed, so even if you delete the current driver, XP still has a copy for rollback purposes. - It's generally best to *NOT* allow Windows to update your drivers. Things have improved a bit in Windows 7 in that regard, but it's still considered "best practice" to update the drivers yourself. Unless you're clueless. - The "rollback" feature isn't very reliable. It works in a pinch, but the best defense is a good image backup. Create an image before the driver update and if there's a problem simply restore your image. |
