Device Driver Rollback

Using Microsoft Windows XP, you can reinstall, or roll back to, the previous version of a hardware device driver if a new one causes the device to fail or makes your system unstable.

To roll back to a previously installed device driver:

1.	Log on as an administrator.

2.	Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.

3.	In the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab, and click Device Manager. Device Manager displays a list of the hardware that's installed on your computer.

4.	Click the plus sign to the left of the hardware device that's using the driver you want to roll back.

5.	Right-click the device, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.

6.	Click the Driver tab, and click Roll Back Driver.

7.	Click Yes to confirm the roll back.

8.	To close the Properties dialog box, click Close.

Note: You can also open the System Properties dialog box from Control Panel by clicking Printers and Other Hardware and then clicking System.
