Hi Everyone!
<BR>
<BR>I thought it´d be a good idea to put this topic out there since I suspect most of us are experiencing the same annoyance.
<BR>
<BR>WindowsXP expects digitally signed drivers for installed components - attempting to install a device with compatible, but unsigned drivers will succeed initially but will yield later problems:
<BR>
<BR>My Monitor: Daytek 1726D - I constantly have to reinstall the drivers in order to get the appropriate refresh rates in games. More often than not the install will last only a few days before reverting to ´Plug and Play´ monitor - VERY annoying since I have an nvidia card and subsequently have to use the refresh fix tool again, every time the damned monitor drivers fade.
<BR>
<BR>My Modem: Rockwell V90 56K - The modem must be on to be detected. Thus if I wanted to dial-up I need either reinstall the drivers or restart Windows with the modem switched on -Annoying!
<BR>
<BR>Anybody out there with similar problems or solutions?
<BR>
