  1. after installing AMD Catalyst Radeon 5.5 (Windows XP/2000/Media Center) Ive had the screen resolution reset on my laptop. fine, Ill just roll it back. except teh Roll Back Driver button is greyed out, and when I uninstalled it Windows put a driver back on its own. I keep getting this:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
    Device status:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    

    Ive heard of DDU, but ppl say its dangerous and other people say its teh only correct way :) i just want to go back to teh driver that worked yetserday. Whats the right sequence?

  2. yeahhh before all that, create a restore point: Checkpoint-Computer -Description "before DDU" in an admin PowerShell, or via System Protection. Cheap insurance.

  3. if installing the older package over the top complains about a newer versoin, thats exactly the case for DDU 馃槀 installers refuse downgrades but are fine on a clean system. worked for me anyway 馃し

  5. blocking driver updates globally also blocks useful ones for other devices. id use the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter to hide just the GPU driver instead. idk maybe im wrong lol
