, and right-click Computer.

(see "Restoring your Microsoft Windows Operating System" on page 142) to
return your computer to the operating state that existed before you installed
the new driver.

Using the Drivers and Utilities Media

If using

Device Driver Rollback or System Restore (see "Restoring your

Microsoft Windows Operating System" on page 142) does not resolve the
problem, reinstall the driver from your Drivers and Utilities media.

1 With the Windows desktop displayed, insert your Drivers and Utilities

media.

If this is your first time to use your Drivers and Utilities media, continue
to step 2. If not, proceed to step 5.

2 When the Drivers and Utilities installation program starts, follow the

prompts on the screen.

NOTE:

In most cases, the

Drivers and Utilities

program starts running

automatically. If it does not, start Windows Explorer, click your media drive
directory to display the media contents, and then double-click the autorcd.exe
file.

3 When the InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears, remove the

Drivers and Utilities disc and click Finish to restart the computer.

4 When you see the Windows desktop, reinsert the Drivers and Utilities
