Basically my problem is that I had to update my graphics card drivers in an attempt to get a game to work a bit better on my vostro 1500 with 2.4 Ghz processor, 3GB of ram and a 8600GT card.
Now I downloaded the correct driver, but on uninstalling the old drivers, and then restarting my computer, vista automatically tried to install a new graphics card driver for the 'new hardware'. This really messed things up because it would not let me install the drivers from a location on my hard disk and told me the drivers were up to date.
I gave up with that and let it download the drivers itself. However I believe it installed those drivers incorrectly as the graphics card has been working badly, showing various graphical errors during games that did not occur before hand. The update should have increased compatability.
I really need a way of removing the irritating automatic searcing for drivers for 'new hardware' and force vista to let me install the drivers myself, from the hard disk, in the correct manner.
Is there any way to do this?
