Getting round Windows File Protection - Again

[Guest]

I'm trying to replace the Microsoft default sound file
c:\windows\system32\drivers\gm.dls with another file. I ussed to be able to
do this, but since SP2 it is automatically replaced by a copy, apparently
from C:\windows\system32\dllcache. I was told I could delete that copy of
the file, but I can't - it too gets replaced almost immediatley - from
where????

Also, it was suggested I use the program "Replacer.com" but it says gm.dls
is "not in the database"

Any other suggestions?

I think you are going to have to try the "Roll Back Driver" option to get
what you want.
Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the device, properties,
driver tab.

Thanks for the suggestions, but gm.dls doesn't seem to be like a driver,
since its just a data file, and none of my devices refer to it.

Any other ideas . . . . anyone? . . . someone?

Amongst the other suggestions I've had was the idea to do my deleting and
renaming in Safe Mode and this seems to have worked. For how long I don't
know and I still don't understand why this problem arose . . .but it works
for now.
