Using the Windows XP Device Driver Rollback
The Windows XP Device Driver Rollback can replace a device driver with the previously installed version if you install a new device driver that causes system instability. If you cannot reinstall your previous driver with the Driver Rollback process, then use System Restore (see page 41) to attempt to return your operating system to its previous operating state before the new device driver installation:
1Click the Start button, and then
2Click Properties.
3Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
HINT: The ResourceCD displays drivers only for hardware that Dell installed at the time of purchase. If you installed any additional hardware, those drivers may not be displayed by the ResourceCD. If those drivers are not displayed, exit the ResourceCD program and refer to the documentation and drivers that came with that product.
