SUMMARY
This article describes the Roll Back Driver feature in Windows Server 2003.

How to Use the Roll Back Driver Feature
The Roll Back Driver feature permits you to restore (or roll back) a device driver by using a previously installed version. You can use this feature if a device fails or your computer becomes unstable after you update the driver.

To use the Roll Back Driver feature, follow these steps:
 * 1) Log on to your computer as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
 * 2) Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
 * 3) Under System Tools in the console tree, click Device Manager.

The devices that are installed on your computer are listed in the right pane.
 * 1) Double-click the type of device that you want to configure -- for example, Display adapters.
 * 2) Right-click the device for which you want to reinstall the previous version of the driver, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Driver tab, and then click the Roll Back Driver.
