Roll Back to Previous Driver

Roll Back to the Previous Version of a Driver

Have you ever installed a device driver that makes your system unstable? Well, in Windows XP you can roll back such a change if it causes you problems! To go back to the previous driver for a device:

• Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools.
• Double-click Computer Management, and then click Device Manager in the left pane.
• Right-click the device for which you'd like to roll back the drivers, and then click
Properties.
• On Driver tab of the Properties dialog box, click Roll Back Driver, and follow the
wizard's instructions.

It's that simple, although you need to be an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group to complete this procedure.

Create a Personal Screen Saver

For a great way to put your digital photos to work, try creating a slide show
presentation for use as a screen saver.

• Right-click an empty spot on your desktop, and then clicks Properties.
• Click the Screen Saver tab.
• In the Screen saver list, click My Pictures Slideshow.
• Click Settings to make any adjustments, such as how often the pictures should
change, what size they should be, and whether you'll use transition effects between pictures, and then click OK.

Now your screen saver is a random display of the pictures taken from your My Pictures folder.
