I am trying to update the driver for my video card (Windows XP SP2,
Radeon X300/X550). I'm instructed to uninstall the old driver before
installing the new one. When I uninstall the old one, I'm instructed
to restart the computer. When I restart the computer it says "Found
New Hardware" and automatically reinstalls the old driver. I can
never do a clean uninstall which I prevents my driver from updating
correctly and then causes lots of errors.
All of the information I've found on this says "Just cancel the Found
New Hardware prompt" but my prompt has no cancel button or even an "X"
to click, it just does it automatically. If I could cancel it, I
would. I've tried starting in safe mode and with only the most basic
graphics support, but nothing seems to keep the system from doing the
automatic "Found New Hardware" update.
Does anyone have any ideas how to stop the "Found New Hardware" check
from running so that I can cleanly uninstall the video driver?
