How Do You Recover & Restore Windows XP Drivers?
If a device on your computer has stopped working properly, you might think you’re experiencing a hardware failure. However, in many cases, hardware malfunction is caused by a missing or corrupt driver. Unfortunately, you can’t easily download drivers for most OEM devices that came with your computer. However, Windows XP has several tools that can help you to restore your device drivers. If one of these tools doesn’t work, there are other steps you can take to get your hardware working properly again. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System. Select the “Hardware” tab. Click “Device Manager.” Select the plus sign next to the device that is causing the problem. For example, if your sound or graphics card driver is not functioning properly, select “Sound, video and game controllers.” If your optical drive is the offender, select “DVD/CD-ROM drives.” Right click on the problem device and select “Properties.” Click the “Driver” tab. Select “Roll Back Driver.” Navig
