- driver back-up
- Posted by Pez D Spencer on April 6th, 2006
is there any way to back up my video and audio drivers on an xp home
machine to prepare for a failure?
i've installed backup utility.
i just have no idea what folder or wherever they're stored.
i made a list of them on the inside cover of one of my xp books, but
i'd rather just have a backup of them.
thx

With drivers, it's easier to just find the manufacturors website, and
get the auto-installer. (or whatever they provide you with).

Paul, could you provide more information as to why the program did not work
for you? Thanks for any information, Sam.

I tried to use it to find drivers. It was much less effecitve at it
than advertised. It displayed hundreds of "matches" for devices that I
did not have After a few fumbles with it, I uninstalled it and went
back to the manual way.
