XP and device manager

[Richard Dower]

So i recently installed the new Intel INF update and in device manager i
clicked on each tab under USB device to see if Windows would find something
better or leave the versions as is.

To my horrow when i click on update driver it reverted back to older drivers
that come shipped with SP1?

Why does device manager always try change drivers back to an inferior
version even though the current drivers are WHQL certified?

Because that is what Windows does. It thinks it knows better than you.
It's a reason many people use Linux so they have control over the OS.

It's rather unusual but it might be that the newst patch is
not the best for your configuration. So Windows might bo back
to the better one by default. Although I'm not convinced here.
AFAIK it shouldn't happened.
