I would like to try another ATI display driver that I downloaded. However,
I've read that I need to uninstall the current display driver first. If
there's a problem with the new driver, how would I extract the ATI display
driver that is on the Windows XP setup CD. I'm not seeing any CAB files so
how would I get the driver back?



__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4550 (20091028) __________

The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

System Restore is usually the fastest way of reinstalling
old drivers known to be good.

You do not extract the ATi driver. When you uninstall the newer
driver. the XP will redetect and attempt to re-install the XP default
drivers.

Go to Device Manager and expand the Display Adapters entry. Right click on
your video adapter and select Properties. Click the Driver tab and choose
Roll Back Driver. This will reinstall the previous video driver.
