Windows XP provides the ability to 'roll back' or replace current device (hardware) drivers with the most recent previous version. This function can be accessed in safe mode and can save you a lot of headaches when you run into issues with new drivers.

To roll back a device driver to a previous version right click on 'my computer' and select 'manage.' Open 'device manager' and highlight and double click the device whose drivers you wish to roll back. Go to the 'driver' tab and select 'roll back driver.' Your system will revert to the most recent saved driver after a restart.
