Re: Device driver question

XP has drivers included for optical drives..... You can go into the device
manager, right click and uninstall the optical drive and then reboot, XP
will reinstall the driver(s).

What problems are you experiencing with the drive?

How do I reinstall a device driver from my Windows XP CD? I'm having
trouble with a CD/DVD combo drive for a Dell Inspiron 1100, and I suspect
a corrupted driver on my Hard disk.

Thanks for your help,

Owkmann
