Using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback

If you install a new device driver that causes system instability, you can use Windows XP Device Driver

Rollback to replace the new device driver with the previously installed version of the device driver. If

you cannot reinstall your previous driver by using Device Driver Rollback, then use System Restore

(see "Using Microsoft® Windows® System Restore") 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.

4. In the Device Manager window, right-click the device for which the new driver was installed

and then click Properties.

5. Click the Drivers tab.

6. Click Roll Back Driver.

Resolving Software and Hardware Incompatibilities

In the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system, IRQ conflicts occur if a device either is not detected

during the operating system setup or is detected but incorrectly configured. To check for IRQ conflicts

on your computer:

1. Click the Start button and click Control Panel.

2. Click Performance and Maintenance and click System.

3. Click the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.

4. In the Device Manager list, check for conflicts with the other devices.

Conflicts are indicated by a yellow exclamation point (!) beside the conflicting device or a red X if

the device has been disabled.

5. Double-click any conflicting device listed to bring up the Properties window so that you can

determine what needs to be reconfigured or removed from the Device Manager.

6. Resolve these conflicts before checking specific devices.

7. Double-click the malfunctioning device type in the Device Manager list.
