WARNING about hotfix for KB925902 patch

[Guest]

So that you need not concern yourself with choosing the correct file, this
is a direct download link for the file you need:
ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/WDM_R164.exe

This will fix the problem described above.

Ok, ok... Bob, I am slowly coming round to the idea of trying this sequence
you suggested - I can see it makes a lot of sense, but I need to know that if
everything goes wrong, I can at least get back to my present state with the
old driver. So here are my questions. If you (or anyone else) can answer them
I'd be grateful.

1. If I double-click on the driver update exe file that I've downloaded, I
understand that it will install the new driver. But do these packages
preserve the old driver after installation?If there are problems, will I
still be able to use the 'roll back' function in Device Manager to retrieve
the old driver? Or will the old driver be gone for good?
AND/OR
2. If I make a system restore point at the outset, will that effectively do
the same job as the device manager rollback function? In other words, will
the old driver be preserved in the restored state?

Hope someone can help....

Hi Alan,

Make your own Restore point than you know for sure you can go back to
the old situation. Some of the good software update programs do that
automatic for you, but dont rely on that.
Happy Easter also

I've worked with an HP system with Realtek AC97 drivers and haven't seen any
problems with this patch. This is a different driver, apparently, from the
one which is problematic.

Thanks for the reassurance, Engel. It bothered me at the time, but no
longer. As for you ... well, you're a mainstay of this newsgroup! I just took
a look at your record of 323 people helped .... awesome!

I hope you're feeling better; and I hope you're enjoying that new computer
of yours. (Hearing that particular bit of news cheered me up a good deal.)
And please keep doing what you do so well, and to the benefit of so many,
including me.

that is terrible that it is marked unhelpful because any help in here might
just help one person and that is very helpful. The people who help in here
dedicate their time without being paid for it and if there were no people
like us here think of all the miserable frustrated people there would be out
there tearing their hair out trying to get their computers to run correctly.
Now take that to the bank!
