Q: Why dose MICROSOFT XP,automatically run its own drivers on my newly installed hardware insted of product's

Microsoft thinks, and in most cases they are right, that the drivers (they have re-worked-with the MFG of the hardware) are the best for the stability of their/your OS. (It has been HCL "Compatible Hardware Listing"certified)\nIt is a collection of products for which test data has been submitted to Microsoft. If you do not find a specific product, contact the manufacturer and encourage them to register their product in the Windows Logo Program on the Microsoft Web site http://www.microsoft.com/ and search for "Windows Logo Program". \n\nYou can always revise the settings in Device Manager (when you install new hardware) to do 1 of the following:\nA. Always use Microsoft to find the Hardware's driver\nB. Use Microsoft this one time only\nC. Never use Microsoft to install drivers.\n\nAdditionally, you can change the driver of any hardware by using the Hardware Update Wizard (in device manager) When you given the choice - choose the 2nd option "Install from a List or Specific Location (Advanced)\nand navigate to where the media(CD, Floppy, etc.) is for the driver.

Is this on Windows XP?\nIt could be that he is not on an administrator account, and is not permited to install drivers that make system wide changes.

You need to install the driver for your video card/chipset.

If you had a previous videocard on the system, make sure that ALL of the driver files are removed by using the manufacturers remove program. \nIf there are any traces of the drivers left, they will interfere with the install of the newcard. If this is not the case, I would say remove and reinstall the driver along with directx from microsoft.

Try www.driverguide.com \nUsername: all\nPW: drivers \nor vice versa.\n\nThey have a lot of drivers there.  Good Luck.

That's because Windows XP doesn't need CD or DVD drivers.  And trying to use drivers will mess things up, sometimes forcing you to reinstall Windows, depending on what they changed when you installed them.

if its deleting drivers and software the only real way is to format the hard drive, if you plan to do this manually then you will have to reinstall all hardware, drivers and software, you may also need to fix registers etc.

My home is not typical by any means.  We have no less than five computers for the three of us.  Two of these are running Windows 98 SE.  In fact the one I am using now is linked to some peripheral devices which do not have drivers written for anything except Windows 98.  I have another machine that I use with my business and it also uses Win98SE.  That one has several software packages that will not run under any other OP.  These are not old machines, but you must realize that XP pro is also a resource hog in comparison and the performance using Win98 is amazing, especially for simple tasks like word processing or Internet connection and browsing.\nSure, I also have XP, Linux, and other systems running for gaming and other tasks.  Occasionally, I still load MS-DOS to do virus and Trojan horse work or Novell Netware for tough database conversions.  If I looked carefully, I could probably find a CP/M disk.

you shouldn't have any driver probs going from xp home to xp pro...they use the same drivers.  If you have hardware that doesn't have drivers then I would suggest you reinstall the drivers using any XP drivers for the hardware.

First: \n\n08/01/2002     It's been a number of months now since Windows XP made its debut. Shutdown problems continue to be one of the primary issues haunting users. A number of solutions have been found for different scenarios, but one thing that is generally agreed on is the primary cause for most shutdown ills still relate to hardware and software compatibility and driver issues. \n\nSecond: \n\nWhen XP is first installed it tries to determine what type of BIOS is available on the computer. Newer systems have what is known as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) capability. Unfortunately, XP doesn't always recognize a computer BIOS is ACPI capable and doesn't install the support for ACPI. Even more unfortunate is the fact that if ACPI support isn't determined at the initial install it's virtually impossible to correct this at a later time short of reinstalling XP over the top of the previous XP installation. To do so requires changing the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). The chances of successfully changing a HAL after XP has been installed is pretty close to zilch.\n\nThird:\n\nDevice Manager: Often times Device Manager will provide a clue to an item that may be interfering with a proper shutdown sequence. To open Device Manager:\n\nRight click [My Computer] click [Properties] and select [Hardware] tab.\nClick the [Device Manager] button in the [Device Manager] section.\n\nDevice Manager use a number of different symbols to indicate potential problems with installed devices. As you might expect, Device Manager is closely tied into the drivers that are used to make individual devices functional. A problem with one of these devices or a driver supporting it are often the cause of shutdown problems. Don't assume that just because you checked Device Manager once and all was well that matters will remain that way. Check it from time to time, especially if you notice a sudden change in device behavior.\n\nFourth:\n\nStartup and Recovery Options: By default, XP is configured that when a system failure is encountered the system automatically restarts. This behavior may at times be desirable, especially if a system is unattended and and a reboot is necessary to restore a system to operation. Unfortunately, it also makes it very difficult if not impossible for a user to read the messages that are presented that may provide clues to a shutdown problem. To prevent the system from automatically restarting:\n\nRight click [My Computer] click [Properties] and select [Advanced] tab.\nClick the [Settings] button in the [Startup and Recovery] section.\nRemove the checkmark from [Automatically Restart] in [System Failure] section.\n\nFifth:\n\nIn short, any piece of hardware or software can be the cause of a shutdown problem. In dealing with these issues over the past few months, experience has taught me to check the drivers first. If XP didn't come with a generic driver, perhaps the manufacturer has released a driver specifically for XP. As much trouble as it is, stripping the machine of all devices and reinstalling them one by one while checking for shutdown problems remains the best troubleshooting method.\n\nSixth:\n\nIn short, any piece of hardware or software can be the cause of a shutdown problem.
